I think that trial has already taken place. People don't act mature on Xbox Live, and that's the reason for the censor in the first place. If people did act with level heads and behaved themselves, a censor would be completely unnecessary.
But that is why I pointed out the mute function, even if people don't act mature we can always just mute them.

5,000 gamers can build fences, clean up streets, and do charities for the town.
1 gamer can kill his classmates at school because people were mean to him.
That 1 gamer will ruin the reputation of the other 5,000.
So no matter how big the number, 1 will always be greater.
The thing that I don’t understand is how your online character in games can use curse words such as Marcus and Dom do in GOW2 but the players themselves can't? Now if they put a censorship only on E and T rated online games and leave M rated games alone then that makes sense but I don’t understand how developers can put curse words into the game but people playing online cant say them. Now if they are going to censor racially derogatory words for all games I am all for that.
microsuck has this a "policy plan" in that "plan" they can do wat ever they like.
as long as it is with in there "policy plan", "policy's" and freedom of speech can work either way.
look at nintendo wii instead of giving them a head set they gave them a speaker phone now that is in technical terms fringes on the freedom of speech.
microsoft can do things to your consoles if need be.as well pcs running microsoft os all they have to do is find your pc or console and send the kill code to it so it cant be used any more

If you don't like it, don't use the service. Simple. It's their service, they can do whatever they like. It's not your right to use it, it's a privelege. Don't abuse it and there's no problem. I for once welcome these changes, and I don't even use Live.

i never said i didnt
im just explaining it
besides microsoft isnt the end all be all
its just the most used
so in real terms it really doesn't matter in the long run
besides fanboyism isnt a good thing either cuz 1 of these days that "favorite" or "one and only" company is goin to mess things up and burst bubbles
and dont go crying about it when u hear it cuz u wont get any sympathy from me
its only a matter of time before microsoft topples over
You'd be on to something here, if you hadn't started your first post with the word 'Microsuck'. And you still haven't explained how Nintendo selling a peripheral infringes your freedom of speech.

but then again u never know
You do realize this really doesn't pertain to Microsoft, since as far as their gaming department, they've been on the come up and have just recently claimed the top spot. Its actually sony who has been on top for the past 10 years and has toppled.
But anywayz Microsoft hasn't started or done anything, its just a ****ing patent and most likely nothing will come out of this. Maybe a future tech or prehiprial, but Microsoft just wanted the tech patented. Companies do it all the time. So i really don't know what the panic is about, Microsft hasnt censored anyone yet, and they probably wont.

(sorry about the way i talk i am speaking in,in-general terms at the moment)
considering that in the markets microsoft is 2nd wal mart is 1st
also callin it microsuck is fun
even though they do have awesome stuff, but lack the brain power to wanna do something right in the 1st place (i,e. NXE dash board) in which they should have done to begin with
that and made all there controller battery packs a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (mine actually burnt out XD)
your a new member of the forums, and we love and welcome you as one of us. However, this doesnt make a lick of sense. OK, lets not say it doesnt make sense, but It has nothing to do with the current conversation, but even your stock quotes are a little off.
while you are right that Walmarts shares are higher than microsofts, and sonys are around there with Microsoft also in the US, Microsoft has the most stock activity. It also has a market cap. value of almost 200 billion dollars, and they have triple the amount of stock as compared to sony. Of course Walmart only doubles Microsoft, it being a highly popular superstore that sells the most jewelry in the US is all , but that's highly irrelevant. If you wanted to talk about anything, how about Nintendo with a 30,000 yen stock compared to sonys 1200?
Now honestly, what does all this have to do the subject at hand?
