Sean said:Not that I'm defending this crap, but Apple does the same exact thing with the "Made for iPod" program. So it's not limited to just the gaming market (although it does seem to be a lot more common there)...
i understand what you mean, but companies need to strike a good balance, as much as i don't like the price of the wireless adapter for the 360, i understand why it is proprietary
the apple store I like, the iPhones protection on the other hand can fuck off
Imagine if intel brought out a PC where you could only download software off of it's own PC download store, no one would buy the thing
i'm hoping the iPhone will eventually come unlocked, as customers start using android and other devices that support a proprietary store and allow unsigned software and unrestricted development
