...the companies have resolved their antitrust suit worldwide and will jointly promote and market RealNetworks' music subscription service, Rhapsody, on Microsoft MSN. In addition, Microsoft will offer RealNetworks' digital games through MSN Games and Xbox Live Arcade for XBox 360.

Considering the general sentament regarding Real Networks, I found this quite amusing, and actually quite unmicrosoft like

so it's only the real network games, I remember that some of them were pretty neat
Now if they were going to use their streaming services.........

I know, but I had to put it in GAF flavor of course. I decided against just the "Xbox 360 is Doomed" part, and decided to include the actual headline as well

Its actually good news, and i'm quite surprised microsoft decided to parter after the lawsuit was seteled.

Wasnt something like this one of Sonys initial promises for PS2?

To me at least, not commenting on anyone else here, it's a shitload of shitty games. That stuff doesn't belong on my console.

I fucking hate Real Networks software too. It's so intrusive.

Hmmm...remember that Blu-Ray ad posted in OT? Remember how it had the Apple symbol? I always found it funny how cozy Sony and the PSP was with .MP4, AVC and Apple. Think something is up between Sony and Apple and MS knows it and are making plans of their own. Makes perfect sense though. Wonder how MS is doing with their supposed movie download service.

I said it once though and I will say it again, one of these consoles needs to get together with Gametap

then don't download them, nobody is forcing you. I know, more options is a terrible thing

It's not for you... it's for Moms that can't use a mouse.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

your the one who somehow thinks they are going to magically appear on your console

Have you seen how many fucking boxes you have to uncheck on RealPlayer to stop it taking over your entire machine? All I wanted to do was watch a half naked cosplayer and I got 2 Gigs of bloated intrusive shit for my trouble.

Actually, if you read, I never said any such thing.

I just said it doesn't belong on my console. Hence, I would never download it. Imagine that.

No doubt. Hence my hatred for those jerks.

 

[Aika'svyse]

Huh what the hell..a thread about nothing

very GAF like

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Huh, it's not a BAD thing since I can ignore it, but I hate the Real Network services.

 

[Unison]

I am not about to stand up for Real Networks, but I don't think they'll be allowed to be TOO intrusive on the 360. I wouldnt expect windows popping up reminding you to update your software and whatnot, at least.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Seems like smart business to me
