First off, I kind of deal with these types of things like Kevin Smith. So if you doubt my logic and try to point out where I was hypocritical (when I was not) then my ego WILL force me to respond.

Strangethings, once ripped could you just kindly pop back on and update if your copy worked or not? It'll put to rest the "detecting copied disc" rumour.
I'll be buying the game on release, it looks worth it, but I am curious to see if it CAN be copied.
Yup, that's why I'm coming back on at 4 or 5. I'm sure I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I'll be telling you guys what's up with the disc.
To be honest, someone had the disc (the exact copy I have) before me, and they played it for over an hour on an unmodded console. So it looks like the full game, not a demo. And (surprise, surprise) the original disc works on a console with no modchip.

 I don't recall calling anyone a liar, I just said I won't believe this stuff that's going on without any evidence.
Well, your exact quote was "I'm dumbfounded that you're not thinking of dumping and uploading it yourself. (yeah, I don't believe all this leak or obtainable copies crap...)"
You used the exact word I used (dumbfounded) in an attempt to sound sarcastic and condescending, then called the facts I was telling you "crap" (which IS what you said - I talked about how I had an obtainable copy and it could be leaked, to which you responded "yeah, I don't believe all this leak or obtainable copies crap..." after QUOTING MY POST).
To me, straight DICKERY brother man, AND YES, accusing me of saying something false. Right? Also known as LYING right?
So yeah, your claim did throw me into the "liar" category!
But again, like I said, I'll put up the picture tomorrow, with the finger, and a special note for you. And honestly, it's out of fun!
also, you said "The point of my post is what is the reason for people to even post these things if they aren't even able to provide evidence? "
Well I came on because there were 22 pages of posts in less than 48 hours of people saying "what's going on with this??" and I had my answers, which I said I would back up as soon as it was possible to do so. You really think there was no reason to that? I guess that's a judgement call on your end but I just wanted people to say "Okay, I'll check back then." and then when I confirm it they can say "okay well now I know."
Is there a problem with that?
"The point of me saying I was dumbfounded was that you're saying that you also are for the reason of no one uploading it, and yet you can obtain yourself but you don't want to either."
Time to get schooled.
Do I ever upload torrents? No I don't.
Do people ever upload torrents? Yes they do.
Is it normal for ME to upload torrents of a game right when it is release? No, I already stated that I never do.
Is it normal for people to upload torrents of a game right when it is release? ....You can answer that one yourself.
The fact that I came into contact with this disc while I was really not trying to (YES I was trying to find it on the torrent sites because people had been talking about it - but I NEVER thought the physical copy would fall into my lap) showed me that many many many people must have access to it, so I figured ONE of those people might NOT be like me, and YES, upload torrents.
Does that answer all your questions?
I guess this is coming off sort of douchebaggish, and for that, I apologize. Seraph, I'm sure you're normally a little condescending on these sites when you think people are being idiots (which alot of people do, and alot of people are), but when it's me, and I'm being honest, I don't react well to that kind of thing.
I could just not tell anyone anything about it right? But no, I registered JUST to let people know the deal and I'll prove it tomorrow. I thought I was doing a GOOD thing but you immediately attacked the post. And you're STILL trying to attack my logic (but I think this post answered all of that).
I'm sure you're a nice guy (or girl) there's no hard feelings. Still going to do the finger picture though!
Seraph: "Because I'm still not sure how/if the demo disks are different than retail, I can't really say that I don't believe the screens. I see the picture of the disc and I'd say it's real, but not retail...."
Honestly, I felt the same way - I thought it was real. A real 10-minute demo for promotion.
Seraph: "I actually asked questions and wanted them to be answered(I still want to know why no one did this with MP3)."
Exactly. Are you dumbfounded about that? Well I'm dumbfounded about this. I got my Wii about a month ago so Metroid was out well beforehand, so I didn't experience that. But this is weird. A copy of Mario Galaxy literally fell into my hands completely by accident (albeit only overnight), so other people HAVE to have it, and I don't know why no one's putting up online.
Yes, even though I'm not
So Seraph, no hard feelings. I get your logic - I felt the same til I touched this disc with my greasy little paws. But don't try to disprove MY logic, deal?
Also, for any people who are about to say "HEY YOU SAID IN YOUR FIRST POST THE RIP WOULD BE DONE BY 6:30 AND YOU'RE POSTING AND IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME"
A. PC upstairs, me sleepy and downstairs
B. Still would have to burn game
C. Then would have to test original copy
D. Then would have to test fake copy
and if you guys wanted the results
E. Would have to come post results
and if you wanted PROOF (which has been made PAINFULLY obvious that you do...)
F. Would have to make a sign for Seraph
G. Would have to take picture (which will difficult while getting my middle finger in, as well as the sign and the screen)
H. Would have to upload to laptop
I. Would have to shrink in photoshop
J. Would have to upload to photobucket
K. Would have to post pic on here, along with amusing "na na na na - boo boo"-type remarks to close post
And that's half an alphabet too much for this man.
Like I said, 4 or 5 pm tomorrow folks, and you'll have your answers.
BTW - running an NTSC Wii with a Wiikey installed, 1.9.
And to be honest, for one last thing - I'm a little worried about updating my Wii for this game. I know for a fact it asks you to update your Wii when you put SMG in (the person before me with an unmodded console told me) and it gives that creepy message about how modded consoles might no longer function.
I know it also gave that message with Metroid but I looked it up on Google before I updated, and people previous to me said it was fine to do. This time around, I'm sort of my own pioneer.
I'm a little nervous to risk it.
Oh yeah, and fuck this guy.
