I don\'t see how you can blame MS for making what they think is a smart business move.

LOL. You say don\'t you think Sony would do the same? I don\'t recall them doing so in the past - why assume that they would do the same? And if Sony would do the same, the news would be Sony aquiring Take 2 and not Microsoft doing so. Of course Sony is just a big company aswell, but while Microsoft is going out shopping, Sony will soon be forced to do the same if they don\'t want to loose valuable developers like that.

I\'m happy I could make you laugh, but I don\'t really understand your response.

Microsoft seems to be resorting to AOL tactics; buy your competition and use brute force to get people to use your product.

brute force to get people to use your product.

the very definition of microsoft

IronFist - I would\'ve enjoyed if Sega was bought by Microsoft, that way, I could sell my PS2 (I keep it for GTA3 and upcoming VF4) and be XBox exclusive. Having to be multiconsoled is too dam confusing, back when Sega systems were out, it was an easy choice where to go...where Sega was.

Next time Microsoft uses brute force to make you buy one of their products, let me know and I\'ll protect you.
