@MrKlorox: Piracy is when one attempts to gain media through illegitimate means. Pandora and Youtube cooperate with artists and remove their content from their service if requested, thus making them legit. However, the fact that Evilsbane said he makes CDs indicates that he has the files for various songs on his computer. Since he can't have ripped them from a legitimate copy of an album, they must've been pirated one way or another unless he gets them through a service similar to iTunes or Napster.
As for an answer to the topic, it depends on what incentives are offered. Typically, I do not pre-order albums. But neat additional stuff that comes with preorders sometimes makes me consider doing so.
" Skip the retro games bullshit and let him play what he wants to play. if all his friends are playing COD 17 and he's only allowed to play Mario 2 he'll have a tougher social life. His needs should go before your want to have a child with the same experience you had. "
Aye. Gaming is a hobby. If your son takes it up, let him enjoy it his way.
@EuanDewar: It's probably both. A rushed release would result in less debugging, thus increasing the chances of exploits and glitches being plentiful in the end product. Activision's now probably cracking the whip at them on a new title, or some overpriced map packs, or most likely, both. I doubt they would invest resources into something that doesn't offer short term profit, like fixing the problems with Black Op's online play.

Their affiliation with Activision aside, in recent times they have largely coasted on Infinity Ward's success. Their games feel like large budget expansion packs to the IW CoD that precedes their titles. However, now that IW's staff has left IW and in effect Activision, we'll probably get a chance to see if Treyarch will sink or swim now that they can't follow in the wake of another studio's success.
Personally, I think that the Nazi Zombies content in WaW proved that they are quite competent as developers, and are willing to try unique things. I kind of wish they would've abandoned ship and formed their own studio with EA, as IW did.
Blame Activision. The devs most likely weren't given enough time to polish the game. Such carelessness is quite typical of their(Activision) business model.
My first character in these type games I usually try to base off of a Viking theme. As such, dual axes, most likely. Maybe a shield and sword combo. I'll probably generally stay away from magic, however, unless the spells in question are tribalistic in nature, thus remaining true to the theme.
