Re: [Xbox] Next Xbox?

See that's just plain ignorant. By all means ignore my posts but to actually
TELL ME you ignored it is extremely rude.

Anyway, what I read was that Microsoft haven't a clue how to fix the problem
hence the de-listing arcade titles. Seeing as there is no other logical
reason to remove titles from marketplace, except perhaps as an excuse to
re-release them later in a hope of boosting sales. Sounds very Disney DVD to
me.
