"Considering that they are positioning this as something for kids, they most definatly should controll that sort of thing."
The Parents should be responsible and make sure thier kids dont play any online games that could involve any langugue. If a parent hasn't taught thier kid the difference between right and wrong, reality and fanitasy, then the kid SHOULD NOT be playing games or even going on the net!
I bought a refurb xbox and it died (harddrive) soon after warrenty ended. M$ wanted $99 to repair it. After seeing the some sales I realized that w/ shipping it's a LOT better deal to get a new xbox with 2 free games and the controller that comes with. Point being two things: 1)The 2nd Time Around Is NOT Better! 2)Microsoft makes products that are good while they last, yet seem to fall apart..
