i've said it before, and i'll say it again.
the Japanese get all the coolest stuff.
you could always buy a nowtv box for a tenner.
it does make it look a bit more interesting than just a box.
of course what it looks like should be of secondary importance, behind what it can do.
they turned the Legacy of Kain series, into Team Fortress 2.
i'll pass thanks.
did i mention taking legal action?
i just said them putting a copyright claim on his video is bullshit.
and that the ban is a way of bullying him into keeping quiet.
i'm not offended for him, i'm not offended at all.
but, i'm bloody annoyed for all the people that buy ms consoles and get treated like shit.
he may come out well from this, but how many people have ms screwed with unjustified bans, a...
so they're announcing the release date... of the announcement of the release date.
o_O
yet they refuse to release the bloody thing on the psn outside the us.
people are practically begging for the game, and they're sitting on their damned arses
doesn't the sort of video the guy made come under the fair use rules.
it would be classified as a review, of sorts.
therefore they had no legal grounds.
so now they've retracted their claim.
and they know blackmailing the guy to shut up is out of order, which is what the ban is about, trying to coerce him into shutting up.
so now they turned to bribery.
you think if this guy hadn't got the publicit...
for leaking beta information?
he wasn't in any beta, that was a retail unit he bought.
they have no legal right to punish the guy for reviewing their product.
that's one of the principals of free speech in the us isn't it?
they got their chance at e3.
and what happened?
major nelson was a prick, a disrespectful prick.

all this is doing is driving even more people away from the machine.
many will still buy it, and i hope they enjoy it, and don't fall foul of ms bullshit.
but many who hadn't decided might just decide to steer clear of the console where people have gotten banned for doing nothing wrong.
watch the Angry Joe interview with major nelson and see if they were given the chance to have a proper discussion, or was major nelson being a disrespectful prick in the interview.
what i learned is that ms are a bunch of fascist bastards.
well, there's an objective viewpoint if ever i heard one.
end sarcasm mode.

they created an amazing universe in the Mass Effect games, apart from that god awful ending to 3.
there's still tons of potential to tell some amazing stories in that world.
that Pulp Fiction one is awesome.
better the social norms of the era i was born in than those of a hundred years ago.
i don't know what these demonstrable signs of consent from animals are, funnily enough, it's not a subject i've put any amount of study into.
i'm sure those who support the practice can come up with their own "proof" of consent
but the fact remains comparing bestiality and homosexuality is just ludicrous.
and there's...
wow, you actually went there.
the "next it'll be bestiality" line.
that's the bigot mindset, that homosexuality is the same as fucking animals.
or maybe you're just jealous, gay people can have sex, but that sheep you've got your eye on is off limits?
no, i rather suspect you're just a fucking bigot.
either you truly believe gay sex is the same as bestiality or you're using i...
open mouth, insert foot.
if there are significant benefits to digital, like lower prices or dlc bundles, or if that's the only option, i'll buy that way, but for the most part, i much prefer physical media.
