Sony 1 Microsoft 0

I fail to see the logic in this cataclysmic fuck up by MS. Are they REALLY sure they want paying customers? or have they done a christmas deal with Sony to sell more PS3's - with this inept, stupidly fuckwit decision, I guess they must have.

I own an xbox 360 but recenty stopped paying the 40 quid a year for the online side as it was shite, more about what we can advertise to you while you pay us than anything useful. The new sky player might appease some but limiting users to "authorized" (read fucking expensive) addons is a joke. I am seriously considering the trade in at game for a ps3 now as MS obviously doesnt need loyal customers.

I think it's becoming a case of getting a bit fed up with the way Microsoft are treating paying customers.

The claimed reason for doing this is to stop game save hacking - but as you can do this with "authorized" memory devices too, it's a very very shallow argument.

Microsoft also seem quite happy to allow other "unathorized" devices like Turtle Beach headsets (though quite how they'd be able to stop these) - but they also aren't undercutting the official products.

This along with badly priced GoD and charging for content that developers had wanted to release for free, and you end up with even loyal fans starting to feel a bit jaded.

Wait, what?

What's with the fanboys and FUD?

This isn't Kotaku, people.
