LOL
NO sense at all of priorities. Before condemning a largely family-friendly console because of ONE game, why not consider the other two, the bulk of whose libraries might consist of \"violent\" video games? (Well, don't know about bulk, but still, \"violent\" games usually care more about graphics, so I reason they're more likely to appear on 360 or PS3.)
And Halo 3. Well. That stuff is not inside Microsoft's control and suing them is very, very expensive. One would think he could at least read up on their court history before getting out of his depth...

Wouldn't it be easier if he just skipped to the next part and just shot himself? Or does JT really want to watch himself fail at everything in life and make himself and go through the pain and misery first?
Going after Halo 3? He has to select probably one of the most kid-safe non-gory FPS games I've ever played. Why not Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Dark Messiah, Hitman, you know games where people actually get dismembered.

Also, video games apparently peed in his cereal when he was a toddler.
I can see the headlines now, "M$ crushes Jack Thomson in court, Is seen later that night having to set up camp in the in the backyard, wife is heard quoting, "He will never learn." Uncomfermed sources state that Mrs. Thompson was seen getting devoice paper at the local courthouse, video gamer though are rejoicing at the outcome of the court ruling."

Uh, yes they do, but I'm referring to the retailers. They are the ones that decide who they're going to sell to, and MS has no direct control over them.DCrazy wrote:Pssst... Microsoft owns Bungie Studios.

Apparently, it was because Manhunt2 was coming out on Wii.
Really.

Re:
Nah, he'd much more likely to try and sue Microsoft... again... for the name of the Xbox. Probably something to do with it being so like the Japanese symbol for evil.MD-2389 wrote:I'm amazed that he hasn't tried to sue Nintendo over the name of the console.TIGERassault wrote:Huh.

...which I only realised just now! The japanese symbol for evil is, quite literally, an X in a box.
