Simple. Because the 360's PSU is designed to provide enough power for the 360. The intercooler then tries to drag significently more out of it so you get the same problems as an overloaded PSU on a PC.
And indeed they probably have to. I don't know about the US but in most countries (the UK for one) your contract of sale is with the store. They have to deal with the manufacturer while it's under manufacturers warrenty, not you.
Well the thing is, we get a 12month warrenty free with our 360.
Great.
Except you pay $399 for the Prem + $50 or so for the 12 month warrenty (before this announcement) = $449 + tax
We pay £238 for the Prem with the warrenty which is $470 + tax.
So you're still paying less before tax even if you take the option to buy our warrenty and I doubt anyone in the US pays the 17.5% sales tax we then do over that.
So even before this announcement you were still better off.
I'd be willing to suggest that if we held a poll of "Which is more interesting to you, Harry potter or "Zonk finds way to slag off PS3 again"" then this would win
Oh I think they know, but it's not hard to find reviews of these movies on an entertainment basis. It's surprisingly difficult to find reviews of "Let's assume you like this movie, here's how pretty this version is".
Exactly, one oppresses people on purely religious grounds, attacks other countries on flimsy pretexts, detains hundreds of people indefinately in camps without trial or representation and attempts to bully other countries into not having nuclear power when they themselves rely on it.

Well that is of course the point.
It's a fair bet that Apple wille eventually go under or just switch off itunes. So then you have to break the DMCA or never listen to your music.
Wonderful.
Being pedantic, we don't know how long that book'll be.
You are right in that it couldn't do Goblet of Fire (636 pages), Order of the Phoenix (766 pages) or Half blood prince (607 pages).
It's a zonk post.

For some people, legality does matter.
Well at that point you'd have nothing and be able to qualify for the free lawyer you didn't have before!
Yes it is and yes it would be.
I think emusic might be the only one I know of that follows the model you're talking about there, and I'm not sure if they've got anything RIAA.
She wasn't a member of allofmp3 then, they don't do unlimited downloading for a set fee any more than itunes does.
You're wrong for 2 reasons.
1) All of Mp3 are per song (or at least per kilobyte).
2) Napster has a subscription that includes unlimited RIAA and they seem to manage it.
Those coffee machines you put stupid pods in I always think are just Soda Stream machines for the grown up geek.

You had that before you were arrested for no reason.
You can of course then sue for malicious prosecution.

Their computer runs a multi-billion dollar business.
Yours plays Doom.
That plus some lawyerspeak should do it.
Except you're downloading gigabytes of pointless files.
If every linux user did what you did we wouldn't have linux, no-one could afford to run a server.
Iran would probably say the same thing about cutting off the hands of shoplifters.
I remain amazed a supposed 1st world religious country is quite happy to ignore one of its ten commandments when it suits them.
An eye for an eye and we're all blind?
Once again, the death penalty is nothing more than state sponsered murder. And America is the only 1st world country that still practices it.
You trip across another serious point.
I might link to slashdot as a preferred site on my blog.
In 5 years slashdot goes under and the domain ends up in the hands of someone doing something illegal.
If I don't notice, is my link now illegal enough to get me in trouble.
The fact that the government feels it's appropriate to execute citizens in ANY circumstance invalidates that arguement.
State sponsered murder is nothing to be proud of regardless of any supposed "process".
Exactly, one oppresses people on purely religious grounds, attacks other countries on flimsy pretexts, detains hundreds of people indefinately in camps without trial or representation and attempts to bully other countries into not having nuclear power when they themselves rely on it.
And the other one is of course Iran.
Indeed. PS3 sales are likely to be lower in december than november.
And PS3 represents less than 1% of the active consoles in America.
Better write it off then.
Yes but the basic fact looking at it is that slash is trying to pass off the 1 zune model against an entire ipod family.
It's like comparing the Corvette to sales of the entire Ford range and being surprised it loses.
So really the debate is that if you don't consider it funny no-one else is allowed to.
Then they can go read a different site.
I presume you've never made a joke about any kind of military conflict, you never watched M*A*S*H for instance?
