An attitude of "Oh well, I guess thems the breaks!" is not the stance to take here. Microsoft is overtly trying to get us to purchase a gaming system with a bloated price and the ability to spy on us (read: required kinect attachment with creepy stalky patents in place). In return we get the ability to puchase game licenses and have no right to any property... which is totally controdictory to what like we have with today's gaming systems. What a great deal! It sure is awesome to give Microsoft the tools they need to milk even more money out of our pockets, right?

Consumers don't have to stand for it. Neither do you.
i completely agree with you.

people need to vote with their wallets, and they need to do it now.

unfortunately, i see games like sim city drop and pick up crazy amounts of sales and think 'we're doomed'
