    The change was good but I fear for the reaction by bigots online.

    At least you’ll punish those idiots.

    Yeah, the change about sexual orientation wasn’t needed. I really don’t care about whether you are gay or bi or whatever. I can see if only one sexual orientation was banned before and others were allowed, but that wasn’t the case. Every sexual orientation was banned, so it’s not like it was descrimination or anything, it was just MS keeping the online community clean. Just another case of GLAAD adding to the list of makeshift organizations that lets their ego go to their heads.

    Better late than never. I’m still confused has to why this rule was ever in place, like someone expressing their attraction to the same sex was corrupting the younth of XBL. On the other hand, I don’t know why anyone would want to put that in their profile.

    and all because the GLAAD morons bitching so loudly about MS banning that one person with the word/mentioning of lesbians in her profile.

    LORD FORBID SOMEONE BREAKS THE RULES. F**k this society.

    Just a small correction to what E was saying about Ryan Miller, he is the goalie for the Buffalo Sabers, not the Pittsburgh Penguins. And on that note, I was upset at NBC for interviewing him right after the game, thats just something you don’t do to the losing goalie, you could see that he didn’t want to do it at all. Another great show, keep em coming!

    The only policy change I’m bothered about is when XBL becomes free. I’ll be celebrating my new Silver status beginning tomorrow!😉

    Hardly relevant… but WHY is GTA San Andreas not available for download in Denmark? I can’t track down a working copy of this game for xbox. Also! the game is not banned here or anything, we have all other originals.

    tbh i dont care about someones sexual orientation, of all the things to ‘shake up’ MS really missed the ball…

    Maybe get rid of all the 8-12 year olds playing 18 games and screaming down their mics instead?

    Hi Major, great show (only bad point could be the movie talk…a bit too long).

    My recommendation for show #360 is the show to be a 3-60 minutes long…3 hours of show with everything (a normal show):

    What are you playing? (insert story about StepTo running ahead or dysfunction(s)

    Interview with game developer(s)
    Interview with xBox Members that appeared in previous shows < - I think most times are more interesting than the previous ones Name the Game, xBox 101 (maybe any recent scam story from StepTo) and gadgets It would be very interesting if the cool features lollip0p is working on could be announced there (obviously I do not know the schedule and nature of them) or e telling about any server new after the xBox Generation 1 Live was retired. PS: Just my ideas.

    RYAN MILLER does not play for the Penquins…get your facts straight…

    he plays for the Buffalo Sabres

    The Sabres played the Penquins in there first game back from the break…THAT is why Crosby was playing Miller…the game was in Pittsburg (Penquins) and the Penquins fans cheered more for Ryan Miller who is their opponent, than they did for Crosby who is their player

    DUH

    Dream on. The Gold service will be going up in price and I predict that will happen sooner rather then later. This is Microsoft we are talking about. Probably a 15-20 dollar per year bump.
