Just makes me think if it weren't a legal issue, they could up some of the specs in newer 360s. Interesting stuff.


It's not a legal issue...?

They can up the psecs of the new 360s and have no problems? Really? They could up the CPU's tech and have no issues?


No issues with the law. Only market segmentation issues. It would be like the DSi: all games would use the basic level of performance, but newer games could have more features when running on the new Xbox.

MS own the actual CPU and GPU designs for the console specifically so they can redesign them how they want.

I didn't say redesign, I said up the specs, as in make it a technologically more advanced console than previous models. If they wouldn't face any lawsuits for that, I wouldn't have said what I said. Hell, just look at Sony, they faced lawsuits for removing the Other OS. Microsoft would certainly face the same issue if people felt they got/have a lesser product than the next 360 owner.

Whether or not that's actually a legal issue is another matter, so I may have worded my original post wrong. Hopefully now, you understand.

No, the only people that had a right to be pissed were the ones that BOUGHT it with Other OS in it and had it taken away ... it has nothing to do with new owners ....

Edit - what Soleron said ..
