This was one of the reasons that made me laugh:

Quote:
Microsoft was afraid that the military would buy up lots of Xbox 360s, but would buy only one game for each of them, so MS wouldn't make much money off of the games.


It also made me laugh at the thought of soldiers continually playing hide and seek, GOW-style :lol:

TBH given MS were supposedly making a loss on each console sold, they would have to make it up on the games. If everyone shared the games, they wouldn't have sold as many as thry would have had each console been bought by a civilian.

I would have put in some kind of clause so they buy y number of consoles and x number of games.
