Microsoft controls products after you buy them? - Wtf?

[~Mastermax~]

the right to hack your own xbox (http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=21356)

see this is the true face of microsoft. It's amazing how that guy installed linux with only agent underfire...

the guy claimed the $100,000 prize for doing it too...

Now that's productivity.

I'm with the guys, i bought the product thus it is mine not theres thus i do whatever the fliping thing i want with it !
its like buying a TOASTER but you can't use it unless you take WHITE POM BREAD with it !
who the flip are they to tell you what to do with what you buy ?
who the flip do they think they are for doing that !

fact is... many developpers starts their careers on the console they just bought and are trying to make games for it and if it suceed then they try and get the license to produce it ! but if microsoft stops them from doing so, what will just happen, they will get company problems as the companies doing the games will most likely not be able to do what they want cause microsoft blocks them from it thus it will stop productivity and it will eventually lead to the fact that the console is too limiting to continu developping on it thus the companies will just turn their back ont he console and find a new with less limitations !

a good example would be the PS2 which suffers from a large variaty of limitations which the gamecube and XBOX do not have thus producers of games are changing going from SONY to MICROSOFT and NINTENDO to produce their high quality games !

so i say flip that...
stop trying to prevent hacking, it cannot be stopped anyway so why bothering against it when you know they will eventually find a way out of it anyway !

in any case the fact remains that when i buy something i buy it for it to be mine after it, no lawyer, no big companies, no one can tell me what to do with it, i do whatever i want to cause it belongs to me now ! as simple as that !

seriously, micorsoft can truly be stupid when they want to !

Yeah, it's uPto YOU to do what you want to do with it.
But it's also uPto MICROSOFT to get rid of tha PeoPle selling stuff like that(modchiPs) to make their systems Play burned games.



If you ever make a, let's say, VCR. And somebody made a thing for your VCR to allow it to Play TAPES(because they're cheaPer), WITHOUT yoru permission and sold it, wouldn't you want it to shut down? Cuz you'd be makin no money?

asshole, i agree with the modchip thing, breaking copyrights are so wrong so i can't blame them for trying to stop those modchips guys !

but let's say this, if i want to mod my own XBOX by myself. can i ?
for the answer is no, because openning the hood of the console is against the law and they would sue you for doing so.
what they also want is for those gamers to just buy the games and play and not try to create their own games for the consoles.

a good example of it would be this one...
the INTEL PALADIUM !
its the same concept.
one chip with everything integrated and that cannot be manipulated except by them so you are forced to do what THEY want you to do with your COMPUTER !
same goes for the XBOX itself, what they want is to reduce you to a slave of their console as in you can't do much besides having it plugged to your TV and play on it with the games you will have BOUGHT at a 80$ per games !

its a stupid concept !
you can't force someone to do what you want just because you sold them the console !
also, what they are discussing in the article is the fact that when you buy the console is it you buy it for real or are you paying for the right to play it ! what they say is that it isn't the same ! thus when you buy the console you don't own it, they still do but you have the right to play it at home for as long as you want and as long as you don't modify it or do not try to do anything else then play the games they sold you !

see their thing is all messed up, the thing is when you buy something then its no more to them thus you can do whatever you want with it !
if hackers exists its their problems not yours.
if someone tells me his mod chips is better because it ables me to do this and that betterly on the console, its my choice not theirs they can't blame me for trying to better my gameplay. as simple as that.

BTW: your banner is way too big asshole ! cut out some height !
