A warning for US XBox 360 owners

[Κracus]

I live in Canada and I can't get netflix either. pisses me off.

i think the neqw dashboard works pretty well actually. i never used any of the home streaming awesomeness either (because i cant), but this update makes the dashboard a whole lot more responsive and streamlined.
also, switching four tabs to get to 'play game'? its selected by default as it always has?

I live in Canada and I have Netflix.

Also, I use my Xbox more for my 1080p movie collection than gaming. The third-party Media Browser Service turns the shitty Xbox Media Center into a great little movie collector, plus it plays everything from AVI to MKV.

So, yeah, that thing about writing a letter to Microsoft to get out of the agreement doesn't actually work.

Also, it sounds like it's a required update for Xbox LIVE. Your only option is to stop using LIVE or stop using your Xbox entirely.

I think those kind of clauses have been brought up in court and deemed to be bullshit (legal term) but I could be wrong. If they haven't someone should bring it up.

I think it hasn't been exposed to a court yet so there's no jurisprudence about it yet. And yes, someone should provoke a trial about it and I hope it'll go down in flames then.

It's a crock that they can change the TOS on you that much when you already have the system, I thought the PS3 one was bullshit but my mum's love of netflix won out and I just agreed to it for her so she could watch cake boss.

I think they can, because you don't have to agree to the TOS, but then you can't install the latest system update. I assume that you can simply continue using the device as you always have if you don't install the latest dash update. If not installing the update is not an option, or it means you can no longer use the device as before (even if that means you miss out on future games that depend on features of the dashboard update) then I think you've got a case. But then again, Sony got away with removing the OtherOS option from the PS3 so who knows what kind of shit they can force down your throat.

I think that in Europe, however, such terms (deny users the use of a court) are not allowed due to European legislation.

With the PS3 you have to log into the PSN to use Hulu or Netflix or any of that, so not updating essentially cuts you off from any internet stuff with the device. Bullshit.

or u could just xbox and not sue microsoft...

[Duhard]

[Duhard]

not on insane, alone just like the greatest ever does it...and every arcade record goes down as the onslaught continues...shit even pixels must be scared....fuck u noobs...

[Duhard]

the trick is the arcade score multiplier doesn't go down when the computer ai gets raped...so it's easier to earn a high score nobody will beat when you don't have noobs and morons like doomer and shaft to slow u down....great tip...
