Yes there is. If you do it properly, that is: use the OS, no trackloaders,
support for Graphic-cards, etc. In other words, if you treat it the same way
you treat the PC or Mac. It's NOT worth it if your insulting your prospective
buyers with crap like "Sorry. This game's not harddisk installable due to
piracy problems". I for one wouldn't buy that game.
