    Nice piece, Coop. I just said something very similar to Ryan [who's also lurking, I see!], that MS is in full-on damage control mode at this point...backtracking, deflecting, using doublespeak, stammering, doing anything they can to buy themselves enough time to come up with a Plan B. I think the only thing scarier than them thinking this would work are the rabid defenders ripping into anyone that takes a dour outlook on it...

    This will make renting games from video stores impossible - one disc might be used by hundreds of people - so how will this work? I often rent a game for three days and then think about buying it or not. Even then, I usually wait until it comes on TradeMe (a NZ auction site) and get a fairly newish but still second hand one. I really hope Sony don't go this way too...

    That's a lot more gentle than I would've been...three cheers for being calm and composed about it, Ryan! Then again, I've been linking sources and calling BS all day; the astroturf army is under my skin. The more info that comes out, the more Microsoft seems to be frantically backpedaling, deflecting, saying 'uh, uh, uh, don't get mad, it's actually going to be, uh, um, crap (the pencil tore the napkin, how can I come up with Plan B now?), uh, let us get back to you on that', and not communicating with each other [conflicting statements from MS reps] in their mad scramble to contain the damage. At this point, expect some major policy changes before launch, along with a huge Day 1 patch to address the software that's being manufactured into systems as we speak [if it's launching this year, the run has to be underway]. Also expect Sony to quietly rewrite any policies that were similar, play dumb about abandoned plans never brought to light, and then pounce on this opportunity at E3 [if not sooner].

    So #3 is the only one that kind of has some appeal. But I still don't see those things convincing me to buy it. Put a $200 price tag on it, and I'll consider it. But otherwise, I don't want it.

    I can't believe indie devs still care about xbox. Valve, Sony, Android, and even Apple treat them better. Is it even worth it for a team of less than 10 to release a game to the xbox audience while jumping through MS's expensive flaming hoops. Although, they probably have some fans who can only get their game through xbox and care enough about the fans to put up with this malpractice.

    Ouch, that's the most ironic thing I have ever seen, considering Microsoft welcomed Indies with open arms out of the big 3 and gave them their own section to give birth to popular Indie games. Funny how the tables have turned, with Sony and Nintendo getting Indie support.
