Xbox and Playstation 2 decks are coming to the Internet in droves this fall. How will they stand up against the legions of hackers waiting for them there?

>> "It's just a game people"

Network gaming is like going to one of those parks where there are a bunch of guys playing chess(saw it on T.V.).

Going to the park and finding a player willing to play you in a nice game of chess is similar to going on line and finding server to play on.

So, I would like to see the an on-line gaming cheater go to one of these parks, and start playing a game of chess. Then, all of a sudden in the middle of the game, he takes his left hand over his right shoulder and proceeds to swing in a back hand fasion at the opponents peices on the board which in turn knocks the opponent's king and several other of his peices on the ground. After this alarming event, the online cheater declares victory.

As silly as this may sound, it's just the same as cheating on-line. Except in the park scenario, the cheater gets a physical beating that is most graciously delivered by his opponent.

Wouldn't that be fun?
