Against this so much...it's like big brother controlling what you want. Apple has this in ios and mocosx already with the ap store, microsoft have it in xbla and soon to be windows 8. Big brother keep it! I want my games in my control and not dictated to by whether my internet connection is up or fast enough or doesnt have capped bandwidth, it's a crock



"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)
