I was talking to my xbox rep last week and the first question I asked is when they are killing off the xbox. He told me that they were going to kill it off in 4 years, and there was something like 420 games between now and then to come out for it.
So they could be keeping it around as a value system, if they only dropped the price
actually its $70 for 12 months, with taxes here in bc its $80.14 not $10 a month, even when it goes up another 20 bucks a year it'll be less then 10bucks a month canadian
all EMI recordings here have their "copy control" protection, with software to read the WinMedia files for computers but the mac player they provide doesnt even work the cd wont play in my dvd player and EMI keeps on replying to my requests saying they will look for the cd's from a different territory copy control licks my sweaty balls still waiting for a real cd, since this one isnt even a real copy of the music, it has digital noise all through it, that gets "corrected"
we do lose money i work for toys r us in canada, and all the systems cost the company $5 more then what we sell them for like a ps2 for $249.99 retail costs us $254.88 or somthing close to that the games though are like $60 retail, and costs us from $25-40 dollars average the bundles are to encourage future shopping at that particular store, if you got a deal from them once you are more likely to go back for more its kinda like fishing, hookem with a deal get em when the come back
anyways that is stupid, the ratings on games is pointless almost, i find it more offensive for a war game to get a teen rating, but a game like DOA xtreme vollyball gets mature i think we got priorities mixed up i sell videogames all day at work, and i think war game are more damaging then big breasted bimbos vollyballing
I work at Toys R Us in Vancouver, in the electronics section, and really the Ratings were the biggest joke. Some had a Mature(18+) and *technically* we were supposed to ID kids buying them, but i saw some games that were worse and ok for the kids to buy.
