Default I got SP3 ????

Look at what I got my hands on:



I got it off a guy selling copies outside a trainstation.

The question is, how did he get SP3, while its not supposed to be released till 2007?

It is not the offical SP3, it is a combination of hotfixes, and junk up till may2006. Personally I would not have purchased pirated MS software from a guy at the train station.

HAAHA, that reminds me of all the gangstas selling fake rollies in Times Square. I bought the DVDs off of this guy who called himself "fat tony" (they were so pirated, literally just used a camcorder in the theatre.

P.s. arent SPs free anyway?

There's this old guy with a fisherman's hat, he has a carriage with wheels FULL of CDs and DVDs, he's got anything you want for 5 euros I've been seeing him there since 2001, I also saw him bribing some young cops with free CDs once.

About SP3 I think its a fake too:

Its spelt "Beautiful" not "Beatifull"

Here in the uk we have markets on big open fields and you get some selling counterfeit software and mainly Dvds which havnt even been released yet.

I never buy any counterfeit stuff but does it ever make you wonder why they do buy it?

Shops are just too damn expensive now,I mean £45 for a new Ps2 game

But its so funny because sometimes the police arrive and the people who are selling the counterfeit stuff just run off and leave all the stuff behind and sometimes their car or van which is usaualy stolen anyway
