This doesn't even stike me as an "Unlimited vs Unmetered", argument, this strikes me as a, "for live, personal, in-person client use vs for server-type or impersonal use" argument.

yes, its because you are a well conditioned American sheeple
Meanwhile I get 250/20 Mbits, with bundled tv and phone for ~$30, with no data caps, no asterisks with small print, no T&C bullshit.

Comment Potential for modding/injecting video (Score 2) 81

You can emulate any USB device with something like Facedancer
http://goodfet.sourceforge.net...

USB DVB tuners just output MPEG2 transport stream when they are properly tuned to mux frequency.

You can use OpenCaster
http://www.avalpa.com/the-key-...
to build your own stream.

This means if will be relatively easy to build small usb dongle device capable of injecting h.264 video into Xbox 180.
Of course I have no clue about xbone 180, maybe* its already capable of playing h.264 natively, and there is no need for hacks if you want to use one as a media center.

* just checked, yep, xbone can stream h.264 natively

Compared to what you can get in Europe or Asia, those "decent prices" are in fact insanely expensive.

You seen to think "Europe" = London or Paris.

ISP rates are directly related to population density.

BULLSHIT, not in Europe. You can get 1Gbps in rural Romania/Poland for ~$30. The key is NEW (actually build right now, not some 30 years ago) fiber infrastructure and new ISPs connecting everyone.

Stores lose a ton of money on having merchandise they couldn't sell.

translation: stores keeping inventory of SHIT got hurt wah wah wah.
What is more logical:
-blame it on the 'big bad industry'
-actually get a clue and only sell preselected quality stuff

You dont see stores stuffing magazines full of pink furniture that is falling apart, but games, oh those are magical unknown beasts, nobody could tell if they are good or not, we need to stock all of them!

In comes Nintendo with a way to ensure that truly shitty games don't make it onto their console

ever heard of LJN?
