nice argument idiot.
at least be more structured next time if you expect respect

you spit sh*t everytime you talk. At least this FAIL idea just like you say seems pretty smart. Want a game but think it's too rare, ask and get it! See it's that cool. and yet you diss them. (my PS3 gets more playtime than my 360, so don't start on me being an MS nor sony fanboy, you're no better than turn 10) If you hated micorsoft with such a passion you would have an old IBM computer equipped with either version of linux, or an Apple computer)

About the Zune but I have an 8 gig model with the Zune Player and Apple could learn a thing or two from Microsoft's MP3 player. I mean Zune HD will have HD radio, whereas my model can still pick up radio signals and tell me the song that's playing. It's slightly cheaper and by comparison, has about an hour or two less battery life than an Ipod, but for a radio I can make that trade-off.

Plus, with the Zune Marketplace, there's so many cool features about it that I'm still unaware of (you can listen to what your friends listened to last for example). Just think, for 15 dollars a month you can listen to as many songs as you want, as many times, download all you want and actually 'purchase' ten to keep. As opposed to a 30 second clip by Apple and other restrictions.

Sorry, I had to educate this fool. I wasn't going to get into the 360 and Vista, but I could get into the Zune because few people know about it.

Don't worry. It's just every GFW Live game in existence. All three of them.

Hahaha... no I'm kidding, I know GFW Live has at least 100 games.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure there'll be several terabytes of storage within each kiosk.

But it could also lead to rampant piracy. Make current piracy literally look like nothing.

All it would take is one store manager or even a clerk who knows a security walk-around, a repair guy who gets his hands on a kiosk, and the streets could be littered with legitimate illegal copies.

MS will have records of who bought what and so if any anomalies crop up then someone higher up will be informed.

If everything is done by computer then just one missing disk of disk case could be detected, and youd have to then explain why.

They've probably got rules with concequences being perminent dismissal.

"All it would take is one store manager or even a clerk who knows a security walk-around, a repair guy who gets his hands on a kiosk, and the streets could be littered with legitimate illegal copies."

Or you could steal the game or download it via P2P. And guess what - you don't need an uber-hacker for it!

You're trying so hard to not give MS credit they deserve.

Tower Records tried this sort of thing with music and casset tapes back in the early 90s long before Napster.

What has that got to do with this?

Actually worked for a company 6 years ago call SoftwareToGo. We had kiosks in CompUSA stores that did the same thing. I thought it was a good idea but the company went under. Maybe MS with it's massive backing can make it work.

Godmars does have a point about piracy because those games that are copied for customers will make it easy to make more copies.

Good idea but not original. Only for PCs.
