If there's an EB Games anywhere near you, go through their used game pile. I've picked up a couple copies there for about $4.

I've tried there already a few times, but with no luck. Actually, I was there a couple of days ago and made sure to dig through everything, but while I got Freelancer and Galaxies dirt cheap, no luck finding XWA. I'm probably going to have to order it online through Amazon or something.

Most Virii actually come from parental stupidity and not online gaming. Anyways don't bother getting Star Wars Galaxies...

IMO the vast majority of problems are between the keyboard and chair.

But anyway - your risk of a virus from an online game is low. Your risk by clicking links to shady webpages or executable files (exe, com, pif, et cetera), opening attachments, etc. are much higher. I've seen users do really dumb things. Don't do anything stupid.

And SWG apparently sucks. Don't bother.

I think it's VERY unlikely that you'll be able to catch a virus from online gaming. So much so infact, that its probably impossible....

It is, however, possible to get lots of spyware from those supposedly "free" downloadable games from various sources. Try to avoid those.

I always do, and I learned that from experience
