You are an idiot.

How can anyone spend money on minecraft? The game costs $20 but the mods, skins, worlds, addons, adventure maps, and online play are all free!

Its seems kind of strange that apps that don't use microsoft's servers, cannot work unless you are signed into microsoft's servers. During the great PSN outage some people could still watch netflix despite all other PSN services being down

By sending the data to the console they intended to make it available to him. No court would side with Microsoft on this. The clause is CLEARLY talking about data on Xbox Live that regular users should not have regular access to. He only accessed data that Microsoft purposefully showed him, ie the store page, friend…

Sony publishes daft punk which probably made it easy to do this.

This is just the xmb with rectangular lists under each category instead of vertical lines

Im glad that hdmi cables are included this generation. It was a load of bs that both the ps3 and 360 only shipped with component cables. Hell the 360 originally didn't even have an hdmi port

But he didn't. There is nothing in the TOS covering what you can and cannot do on xbox live before it is "released". They are using it as a blanket excuse that anyone who bothers to read the TOS will realize is nonexistent

true, companies can abuse it, but those companies often use bots of their own. Youtube has bots that scan for copyrighted music. Other companies scan for tv shows and movies and automatically send those notices

That covers trying to hack into the service to find passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information that is on the service but not designed to be viewed by users. The info he published, such as download sizes was visibly displayed to the user on the store page.

There is no reasonable explanation for…

I definitely can't wait to play Killzone Shadowfall on my PC!

There was the whole Portal 2 potato game that got Portal 2 released on Steam a couple hours early fyi

There is no section in the Live TOS that covers pre-launch activities of the console. If the service is up(which it was) then you can use it according to the TOS

You can only be subject to an embargo if you sign a contract saying you are under an embargo. He signed nothing and bought a console under a standard retailer agreement. He payed money and he now owns a console and is able to do whatever he likes with his console. He may have violated the TOS of Xbox Live but i doubt…

Why do you need to be signed into microsoft's matchmaking servers to use internet explorer? Why do you need to be signed into Microsoft's servers to watch Netflix? Why do you need to be signed into Microsoft's servers to run Skype (Skype uses different servers then Live does)? Its not that he doesn't have an internet…

They problem is that microsoft was getting all this great pr, then managed to shit themselves by "banning" the guys console. We know after the fact it is not permanent but at the time it seemed just like a console ban on 360. Now instead of Microsoft enjoying a pr victory close to launch, they have to run damage…

THe problem is that they are too big. They get over 24 hours of video uploaded every MINUTE. There is no way a human can review it all so they must rely on automated bots which can be abused by companies

It does though...So does Game DVR, a built in hardware feature btw, and One guide, another built in feature that does require the internet

For most of the next two weeks, though, Weingarten's Xbox One will remain disabled. Some features work—he can still put the Call of Duty: Ghosts disc in and play the game's campaign mode.

Minecraft was a 360 exclusive but it is coming for PS4, PS3, Vita, and Xbone
