Or will it sink in when they devolve to charging pay-per-play? What? You paid your $5 for a single play and then our servers crashed? Sorry! Pay another $5 for the privilege of getting back on!
Isnt that how arcades work?
Why cant the same apply to multiplayer games if the servers are provided by sony?
I am curious, how is it that people in US get worse treatment from call centers in India, than people living in India itself. Personally I have not really had any bad experience with Indian call centers(though for some reason calls to MS seem to be routed to a US based call center from India.. weird)
So, if one of Microsoft's Optical media replicators shipping company(based in China) uses pirated software to ship the media from China to Microsoft, where Microsoft sells this media in US, who would MS sue?
My 5770 HAWK edition is virtually silent unless you run furmark, or other stress testing tools.. even then, I cant really hear it over the PSU,CPU,HDD's
Wouldnt this problem be bypassed by handset makers selling phones with a vary basic(featurephone like) custom OS. Let the community develop Android for specific models, but make the phone hardware in such a way that it is easy for the community to develop for and customise.Then users can install Android on their own. Provide a backup ROM like some GPU makers provide to prevent bricking.

Considering that most banks send a message for each transaction you make using a credit card, and call you up if there is a deviation from your normal expenditure habits, after the child has made a few wrong payments, it should be absolutely clear to the parent that something wrong is going on..
Though I dont understand how a child was able to charge their parents credit card. You need the CC number, CVV number, Date, Cardholders name, billing address and a secret password.. Mobile and IVR transactions require a one time password.
If an 8 yr old managed to do the above correctly multiple times, he is a genius

No, hard media is not going away.
Only in markets like US and EU, where broadband is mature will download media take over.
Game prices may be rising, but only in "developed" markets.
In the emerging markets, game prices are actually falling
