When you're forced to play a very small subset of games since you can't necessarily afford to go drop $500 to get a wad of games it actually makes them a little more special. Don't get me wrong, I'm not capping on you for playing 98% of your games pirated but that's just what I noticed personally. People rave about the DC for being such a fun little system but I never really got into the games. I got them all for free and the most fun I had was collecting them. Do you find yourself getting them, playing them for about 15 minutes then looking for something new? Just curious.

Metroid Prime was a great game. I bought a GC just to play that (and actually sold it afterwards when I found out that there's no games for the GC). I can't fault you for not enjoying it but maybe some of what I said is true.
