what paid products have become obsolete in a week of their release?
(two kind of examples, the psp undiluted platinum modchip, and the vita cobra blackfin)
but it's not the norm.
things like wii, it was a while until we got usb iso loading.
and 3ds, it was a while until we got free piracy.
gateway's cheat functionality (at leas the way i used it) still doesn't really have a 1:1 free alternative
i don't get all the gw hate, i was playing backups for months/a year+? before the non-gw people.
tx is really cheap, cheaper than a game. and you can play many games for free.
unless we get free piracy the same week/month, i don't think many people will regret their purchase.
but of course, if you have to save your pennies up week after week to scrape $40 together to buy the tx, don't buy it
