Yes, thats a good thing to point out Lurchi and Seeadler. I actually missed this myself when I bought Black Shark. The Starforce drivers I have on my system comes from Lock On: Flaming Cliffs, not from Black Shark.

Personally I don't think the Starforce thing should put anyone of the great Black Shark experience. So far I haven't seen any hardware problems reported in the ED forums that has, or is said to have to do with Starforce.

The activations and deactivations scheme is going to last you a very long time. But if you can't see yourself accepting this limitiation (which it of course is!) you will miss something that is very good and have the potential to be even better. I have certainly spent 50$ on many things that didn't have Starforce, but still caused me more problems and in addition was rubbish. I don't like Starforce, but in the case of Black Shark I would look beyond the bad, and go for the good anyday.

cheers Porphy
