That's an unlikely scenario, especially as there are many cheaper ways to play Rampart.
You could write off every game on the system as not being worth $600 but in reality the system costs is spread over all those $10-$60 games that ARE worth those prices.
Then it's a good thing it costs less than a hundreth that then.
Saying the game costs $600 because the console does it like me claiming it costs me £5500 to drive to work in the morning because that includes what I paid for the card.
Or they could actually let those of us who don't like emulation and actually prefer to play the game as designed have them rather than destroying parts of history just so you can get some money off a shit version of a game you already own.
If you have the original carts, you could, you know, PLAY the original carts.
I know. All these people are trying to do is fuck over people who might actually want a system so I'm very happy to see it come crashing down around him.
They won't do that because since there are unpatched critical flaws dating back to 2004 in Firefoix, it would be a simple matter to point out that FF was unsafe for a full 365 days. I expect that to rise to 366 by 2008.
Also complaining that the service doesn't work on Linux is like me complaining it doesn't work on my Amiga or my toaster. It's not relevent. It might be something that stops you taking advantage of it but it doesn't make it "broken" and it certainly doesn't give you the right to pirate.

And also, why do they think I'll pay $2000 for a fucking phone!
Of course if they had said "no". You'd probably the first to post.
"Fucking MS, not following standards again."
Just checking, like I said they've done this to us before.

Then since you already legally own the games in this scenario, play them all on that xbox.
If you're going to play emulated versions you might as well at least do it without paying a 2nd time and without destroying the old carts.
I'm biased of course since the versions Nintendo foisted on the UK of these games almost univerally run 20% slower than they should do.
That's not the reason. The UK never got the TG either yet apparently we get the games.

Wait can I just check something here. They're charging $15 for demos?
I mean to be fair they charged us UK people $50 for the demo of GT4 (by calling it "Prologue" rather than "demo") but sheesh!.
Please tell me I'm wrong.
To be fair though, that's about the 15th Zelda game, it's not VERY new ip.

Well you actually upgrade your windows more than once a decade.
I'd be surprised if IE7 works on kernal 2.0 either.
On a quantum computer it's irrelevent since simply trying to see the program changes it anyway.
Easy, I never ever run the program.

No, each game is supposed to have 1000 points but they can have UP TO 50 actual achievements.
Some have as little as 5 and that's fine.
They won't do that because since there are unpatched critical flaws dating back to 2004 in Firefoix, it would be a simple matter to point out that FF was unsafe for a full 365 days. I expect that to rise to 366 by 2008.
So you didn't even read the summary where it clearly mentions restricting sales to minors, not everyone.
FFS.
it's up to the parents to monitor what their kids do.
Which they CAN'T do if the child can just walk into the store and buy ciggarettes or alchohol.
Restrictions on sales to minors are the way to GIVE parents choice.
You're making the same basic misunderstanding as everyone else.
In the current scheme, parents CAN'T make the choice, because a child can just walk into a store and be sold the game.
A legal restriction would GIVE parents choice, not take it away.
Yes.
.NET magazine has been around since 1993 and continues to sell quite well.
In the UK
Well that's exactly it, the private networks it's a self-solving problem for.
You have very few fair use rights on a rental.

It doesn't have value is whoever is paying you can't make money from it.
What exactly do you mean they can't beat Linux?
Linux is still a tiny proportion of consumer desktops and isn't rising at a measureable rate.
Then again with that attitude it probably won't.
As the sister posts points out, who cares if they do win.
Tell you what I'll sue you in DudsLand. I win, you owe me $5billion.
When can I expect the check?
