    Microsoft have also abandoned registering disc based games (even as an option for third parties), meaning all disc based games will be loanable, sellable, and other words I've never had to suffix with "able" before. There is a strong possibility that the recent blow up with the military (um, that was figurative)

    And yes, the recent fervor over used game rights should start a discussion on digital-only goods. Digital store fronts need to change, and the sooner the better. I'm not sure what the best method is for how to ensure copyrights are protected, but in the long run, we need to be able to sell, give or loan the digital games we own without restriction (the copy we have mind you, I am not suggesting someone be freely able to give away infinite copies after buying one).
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
