this is the part that is most likely illegal. Lol it would be so much easier to explain if you knew norwegian:p And yes they havent been found guilty yet:P but they most likely will, if the "investigators" statements are anything to go by.

Can you give me a link to the law they are breaking? Because it is a screwed up law if what you are saying is true (and I suspect MS is still within the confines of it)

Anyway, typos happen, don't hold it against me *cries*

hehe "forbrukerkjøpsloven" and "avtaleloven", let me guess that didnt help did it:p? Anyway, they are not convicted yet:P so we will just have to wait and see:P. And even if they are, the fine would be by no means a threat to MS:p

So, where is the law that MS is supposibly breaking by updating their firmware to exclude memory cards over 512 MB?

So far your mod chip analogy fails because it is not against any laws to use a mod chip, it is not against any laws to flash it with linux. It is illegal to flash it with modifies MS firmware (in the US) and it is against the terms of use for XBL. If you agree tio the terms of use, then your console gets banned from XBL because of the mod chip, well, you agreed to let MS do that to you. And guess what? you can mod your console and not go onto XBL and guess what, nobody is going to stop you from using your 360 the way you want to.

And your cell phone analogy fails because cellphone firmware and game console firmware are very differant animals. The way in which both can be utilized is very different.

So would you care to explain yourself further? or do you admit defeat?
