Drama hits Gears of War 2 with the rampant pirating of the soon-to-be-released xbox exclusive. Apparently, game designers still have not learned that when you give your playerbase an inch... someone will always take a mile and there go your profits, down the proverbial toilet. Here is what TeamXbox reports on the issue:

With so many users getting the game so early, it shouldn't come as a surprise that a pirated copy of Gears of War 2 has already been leaked in its entirety onto warez sites. The pirated copy, which has been created by group x360inT from the NTSC edition of the game, was released early this morning on a private tracker. With a total file size of 6.76GB, the download has been split into 73 RAR files.

It is worth mentioning that pirated Xbox 360 games only work on modified systems.

All too true in this day and age. Quite unfortunate :(

These pirated copies of Gears 2 are everywhere. I was playing Rainbow 6 Vegas this morning, and three different people claimed to have downloaded a copy. Of course I say 'claimed' because they were playing R6V rather than their alleged Gears 2 lol.

greensabre, it has taken months of seeing your avatar on a day to day basis and today it finally clicked: its that dude looking for the perfect dozen from Clerks, isnt it???

In regards to the pirating, its almost comforting to know that, while pirating is illegal, it is happening to the consoles. At least now game developers wont look to only the PC in terms of profit loss, which may keep PC gaming around a bit longer.

Serves Epic right for not making a PC version due to the 'rampant piracy.' All it does is make me not buy their game since I don't have (or want) a 360. Can't wait to hear Cliff whine about this later.

Haha, yes Navie it's Walt Flanagan in Clerks. I thought it was a good metaphor on Gamepro of all the fanboys looking for the perfect game, system, etc.

Epic is still gonna make a crazy amount of money of this game even with hackers. Nov. 7 won't get here quick enough!!!..... You girls should have a night kinda like the Frag Dolls and challenge the readers. That would be pretty cool!

can't play live on modded x360 and also why not just mod your pc to emulate the x360 then play it on PC!
