This is for all you console gamers out there who own a X-BOX 360 and play online. Here is the link to the video I found on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvtl4ye-3D0 How stupid is that? |

I thought that was because it blocked all trademarks from being used...or at least that's the story I hear. Dunno, don't own a 360, never will. |

rijelkentaurus is right. You can't use Windows, Microsoft or XBOX either in your motto. Be glad they warn you instead of trying to replace it: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/The-Clbuttic-Mistake-.aspx |

I still think its stupid, as long as its not a curse word or words who cares what is in a motto. By the way, Just what is a motto for in XBOX anyway? |

Of course it's stupid, all these big businesses who want to be the Everything Police. An itchy vile weeping pox on all of them. |

Power breeds the desire to manipulate and coerce in order to preserve itself. /rant |

Quoting: rijelkentaurus is right. w00t!! |

Quoting:By the way, Just what is a motto for in XBOX anyway? It's some kind of byline that you get to see alongside someone's character. Something like "Scott -- Eating n00bs for breakfast". |

Ah hah! Kind of like a quote or phrase to be associated with. So I take it that all political and religious words are banned too? |

Quoting: So I take it that all political and religious words are banned too? I don't think so...unless it's Scientology, which is probably trademarked. This is interesting, however.... http://kotaku.com/gaming/xbox-360/live-sees-unix-linux-gates... |

See, if all religious and political words were also banned, I would have no issue with this because at least the censorship would be across the board, but its not. |

Quoting: at least the censorship would be across the board I see your point. I wonder, can you have your motto as L I N U X rocks!!!? |

Penguinista comes to mind as a test. However I stopped console gaming way back when Sega had that additional CD player that you could use with your console. |

I had a PS2...got mad at a game, the PS2 went sailing through the air...didn't look as nice when it landed as it did when it took off.... At that point, I figured my blood pressure needed a break, and I can't justify spending the money that is required at this point. And I don't have the free time I used to have.... |
