Dear Microsoft, Fix Digital Rights Issues on Xbox 360 - Page 3

I only hope that the DRM you chose for your next console does not brutally punish the rights holders - your loyal customers - as your current model does, lest Sony and Nintendo turn another hardware vendor into a software publisher.

Your current double check system is broken. Lets use the hypothetical example of an Xbox 360 owner not being able to get on the Internet, another dead 360, and a corrupted profile. You may have heard of this before. In fact my issue of moving a Gamertag/hard drive/memory unit from one Xbox to another is not unique to just me.

So again I want to thank you for holding mine, and so many others, downloadable content hostage. If you were not aware of this issue, it is being discussed on your own forums, you may wish to address this problem.

Unlike a criminal holding a person hostage, I am not paying the ransom since your system is already dead.
