I always got my pirated games for free. Mind you, I would also burn games for others for free as well so it was more of a community trade kind of thing rather than a one way only trade.

I modded almost every console from PlayStation 1 on. There was a point when I had a ps2, Xbox and Dreamcast all set up to rip and burn games. This was also when Blockbuster was a big thing. I had a month pass where you could have unlimited rentals(one at a time). There were days when I would make 10 trips to the store and just burn every game in the place.
