They should consider it. I admitted defeated and connected to the net as a one time deal to verify my copy.
I don't want to have to go back and and download xMB everytime a patch comes out (expecially not over 56K) , I'd rather go to a net cafe, save it to a USB Key or whatever and apply the patch on my machine.
I hope so... cuz its giving hell on 56K users. Well, steam is okay for me if im using a broadband. good thing im using a illegal copy... no downloads to annoy me!
