Microsoft: No Xbox for You!
Markel writes "According this this story in the Sydney Morning Herald, Microsoft is very concerned about a man having been acquitted after allegedly selling [mod chips for a PlayStation]. So concerned in fact, that they are saying: change the law, or they will have to reconsider selling the Xbox in Australia. Not selling the Xbox is well within their rights, but putting it in a (I paraphrase slightly) "change the law or we'll .." context seems assuming a bit too much. I guess well see how many of our MPs are XBox gameheads."

OK, I'll admit, I'm half English, but have never lived there or anything. Having said that, don't see why you can't be proud of being the first country to drop slavery. Of course, that's forgetting the colonies.
But my point was just that whilst the original poster seemed to be trying to imply that Australia was a wonderful, ethical country, it is not without it's faults, just as any other country out there.
I'm going over here and I don't know why!
The water spins clockwise when you flush a toilet there, so all the games have to be updated to show this.
