How to best fix the economy? Convert the entire sum of all US Currency into Microsoft Points thus making prices more obfuscated and people more likely to spend their money.

*Entry* I hope I win - I was gonna buy one of these for my dad.

The songs you import from your iPod or Zune or whatever just pretty much allow you to sing along to that song, and do not have lyrics or the music video to accompany. So, for example, I could load "What is Love?" to the game from my iPod, but I'm just kind of singing along and the game does its best to figure out if I'm singing anywhere close to it or not. If I buy "What is Love?" from Marketplace I get on-screen lyrics, the music video, and much much more accurate score tracking.

Microsoft has promised they will add lyrics to some imported songs (presumably ones they don't plan to sell) based on that song's popularity -- although this has not come to fruition yet.

I could have sword The Fray - Over my Head (Cable Car) was on the disc.... I have the game but admittedly don't play it much as it was a gift for my girlfriend....

I realize that... its just we wrote the story this morning, quite a bit of time before this one went up.

Its hard to be a part of a blog that isnt called Joystiq or Kotaku. We get a decent amount of traffic, but when we do manage to get a story before they can we want as much attention to it as possible. I shouldn't be mad because its possible they just didn't see my email.

It is possible that you are what Xbox calls a "Child Account". This restricts your Xbox Live activity beyond the built-in console controls. This happens when you identify yourself as being younger than a certain age (I think it may be 17 or 18) when signing up for Xbox Live. I had this problem because when Xbox Live launched on the original Xbox, I beleive I was 16, so I had to use my mom's credit card to sign up (back then Live required a credit card). Well, I still have the same account but my account was forever marred with "child account" even up until I was 21 and had moved the account over to Xbox 360. I called Xbox support and they said there was no fix, but one was in the works. Sometime earlier this year I got an email telling me that I could "upgrade" my account to a full-privileged account (now 22 years old lol) and told me to go to my account settings, which finally fixed the problem for me. Perhaps look into this?

I would probably say you need to turn off the parental controls. I would bet this BETA did not receive an independent rating from the ESRB, and therefore would be treated like an "RP" or "Rating Pending" game on the software side, which is actually a higher content rating than that of "M". So, if you are allowed to play "M" and below, you will be unable to play this content.

Nice, we break this story a while ago over at Aeropause, send it in to your tips mailbox, and dont even get linked. Real nice.

I fail to see why Sony thinks anyone will buy themes on a system where user-created themes can be made. I imagine within a day or two of any good "premium" theme there will be the exact same thing available on the internet for free.
