Wow. Microsoft's moneyhatting is getting out of control this generation.

If this is true the 360 will be the last time I'll be buying a Microsoft product.

???????? 

You're not going to buy another MS product because MS is providing your 360 with games???

That doesn't make any sense....

Actually they're using their money to deny other gamers access to a game only for their own advantage.

OT I think this is pretty silly move.  With high price of RB I believe it will see steady adoption but not be front loaded - which means a timed exclusive will not really help MS much.  Rather in the way of many US companies who mess up their perception outside US with such tactics in Europe this could easily generate negative view of 360 with non-owners (owners won't care) rather than encourage them to buy 360 to get RB.

PS3 is too strong in most of Europe now for such tactics to have much chance I believe, and MS would do better to focus on better marketing/brand perception activities than this type of approach.
