Microsoft considering halting Xbox sales in Oz?

Sydney Morning Herald article....

It seems they want mods to be made illegal or will have to reconsider things. ???

Ugh...that'd be right.

Fortunately, I am yet to choose which "next gen" console I'll be buying...looks like it may be narrowed down to just the PS2

Of course it is just hearsay. I find it hard to believe that MS would completely exclude the XBox from their business model in Australia especially when the system is improving sales. Anybody really interested could easily import from the UK anyway...

GAMECUBE GAMECUBE GAMECUBE! Why isn't that in the equation for you anymore?

Who knows just what they'll do?

Probably lobby for legislation change or maybe team up with Sony and appeal the court's decision. Didn't the ACCC... support the legality of mods a while back? That should make things interesting.

Changing the price structure would just screw things up further. The console is meant to continue to get cheaper after release. Any sort of price rise (hardware or software) would be damaging.

Who knows... ???
