What happens when you unequip your undergarment slot?

The only thing you give up by preordering is the interest you could have earned on your $5 dollars had it remained in your savings account.

Probably around 10 cents.

Damn GameStop!

Where did I say it was illegal for Microsoft to ban me?

You missed the point, rather. It's that if Microsoft feels it necessary to ban me from something that's virtually required for the console to be enjoyed because I legally protected my property, then I don't want them making decisions with my money anymore.

Microsoft's stance for their mass banning is that piracy is illegal. However it is not illegal to mod your console and play backed up games. When I travel, which I frequently do for business, I am not going to bring a $60 original copy of a game for it to get scratched/lost/stolen by housekeeping who needs something for their kid's birthday. No, I'm going to bring my legally duplicated and paid for 95 cent version of the game so that if any of the above happens, it's not such a big deal.

Now that there's a slimmer PS3 at a lower price point, and a noticeably empty space in my suitcase, I think $300 to Sony will serve as my appreciation for the way Microsoft handled this issue.

I'd been reading since the 90s and just thought the last years worth of issues were awful.

Just please don't suck when you come back.
