Resident Evil 5 leaked online, for shame

Resident Evil 5's retail code has been leaked online merely 10 days before its official release. Bad form, guys!
Resident Evil 5, Capcom's upcoming multi-platform survival horror title, has been leaked online by a piracy group known as KFC, according to Xbox Insider and GamesIndustry.biz.
While certainly not the first leak of a highly anticipated video game, online pirates and torrent sites continue to negatively affect the sales of high-profile titles. Software leaks are one of the main reasons that some developers have turned to DRM (digital rights management) tactics to protect their products. Companies like EA have adopted DRM tactics in the past while still selling millions on their titles, while other companies like Nintendo try to kill the problem at the source.
GamePro does not support or condone piracy for any medium, including video games.
The title isn't officially available in Europe and the US until March 13, but a cracked Xbox 360 version of the game, weighing in at 6.71GB, is already being downloaded by users.
Like the majority of games publishers, Capcom has faced the headache of piracy in the past. Last year, the company complained that sales of the PC version of Devil May Cry 4 were hit hard by severe piracy.
Resident Evil 5 is likely to be one of the biggest games of the year, and was recently voted the most anticipated title by the GamesIndustry.biz Network.

They'll get punished for it, but still, that sucks. Just wait until someone starts posting spoilers of it on the various message boards online.

There's no superior version. It's the SAME game on each system.

... why !!! it's 2 years already and im very very tire of buying games at 60$ .instead of pirating games for 360 , why dont any1 hack the ps3 for godsake .it wasnt thier faults entirely , nobody likes to have a copied disc. maybe if you developers sell games a little bit cheaper , the sells wouldnt be so bad and people would actually prefer going out and pick up the real game instead of downloading and hacking . it's too bad i only have a ps3 , otherwise i would had downloaded the game . BUT it was just until the real game comes out . i dont really like RE5 that much but if it was a reasonable price .... lets say 40 or below , i would actually buy it . i plaed the demo and it was ... no fun . it was not scary , it's not entirely action game . the game mechanic was clumsy ( all of these are just my opinion ok . no harsh feeling ) . despite all that , i would pick one up just to play with my friend .
