Xboxes to be banned in USA

If videogames can be banned for violent action or be blamed for murder then the news that six people were killed over a stolen Xbox must mean that Microsoft will be getting sued for mass murder soon with the subsequent withdrawal of the Xbox from all markets.

Console gaming - it's the new rock music.

I wonder what they were exporting? Too old to play latest video games suggest last week's PC spec. :)

It reminds me tangentially of when Sony cooked up a publicity story where they where banned from exporting PS2 early on to somewhere because it was above the military spec allowed for that country which proved how powerful the PS2 was. But I think the target country weren't allowed the equivalent of Z80s or something so NO console (Sony or otherwise) could actually be exported there. Pesky PR types.
