Yeah, the Xbox 360 is a retro console, but that won't stop Microsoft from advertising on it

      Not quite the image of her talking about the PS3 and 360, but it still fits.

      Well, graphics got better but games didn’t evolve much.

    Just one more offenses added to the pile of anti-consumer tactics employed by tech companies.

    The EU is slightly further ahead than most, but globally most governments have been asleep at the wheel when it comes to protecting consumers from anything digital.

      Most governments are asleep at the wheel, generally.

    Much as I hate ads, it looks better like this.
    The previous update had it looking like a bootleg and the rectangle tiles instead of squares made the disc art stretch:
