Yes, because they shouldn't charge for maps that clearly aren't new.

That is true in my case and I'm certainly not alone. It's absolutely killing me that I can't get an iPhone. Sure, I could, but my family, girlfriend, and co-workers are all Verizon. I am basically "settling" for a Droid X and filling my void with an iPad.

Who knows, maybe I'll fall in love with the Android system and I'll be content when (and if) a Verizon iPhone hits.

I'm sure it's more for contractual reasons as opposed to marketing reasons. I'm sure Apple would want to sell it as soon as possible.

Wow, your article lost all credibility when you failed to mention Plants vs Zombies

Make sure you have an HDD, Memory Card, or compatible jump drive to "Move" your profile from one to the other. Since Netflix is associated to your Gamertag/Account, you'll need to have that profile on the spare when you watch Netflix. Xbox won't allow you to "Copy" a profile and once you recover it on one console, you'll have to recover again on another. Easiest way it to simply keep your profile on a Memory card.

Well, I've certainly been aware of it, but I consider myself a hardcore gamer and I don't care about this sort of stuff.

In my opinion this is simply MS and Sony's attempt to capture the casual kiddie, family, and retirement home audience that the Wii has captured and obviously seen enormous success with.

Bought a Wii on launch day, but sold it pretty quick. Just not my thing.

I know. I'm just kidding. I'm actually wondering if the 360 version may have another similar "exclusive"

boo...hiss....Sony paid money for exclusive content! That's so wrong! Why can't MS ever do that!?

I agree. It was actually like the next day that they were in the normal list for Xbox 360. It was still crap though. There's no reason they couldn't have done what Treyarch did and have a new Map Pack playlist for at least the 3 or so most popular gametypes; TDM, S&D, Headquarters.

By doing what they do now makes no sense because it clearly alienates the majority.

Yeah, I absolutely remember that. Ironically, they even used "Crash" as the example when they talked about playing the new game in old maps and how it "didn't work."
