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?

Yeah, if you can sell that stuff on e-bay, cheating does have its advantages!

As does robbing a 7-Eleven with a shotgun (hey, isn't that like "cheating" in real life?). It seems to me that cheating in on-line games against other people is all about POWER! Someone may be a kick butt CS player without the cheats, but by using a cheat, they feel powerful. They are not harnessed by the rules of cyber-society. Seems like the good old human animal rearing its ugly ugly ugly head.

Just a thought.
