Good Idea, Bad Idea

Ripping this idea from Animanics I've created my own Good Idea, Bad Idea feature for this blog entry.

Good Idea: Making Xbox Live regional spercific, so the Brits play with Brits, the Germans with the Germans and (most importantly) the Yanks with the Yanks.

Bad Idea...

Now, seriously, just stop and think for a minute. We witnessed the horror which Halo 2 Xbox Live play unleashed on the world (and is one big reason I barely play Xbox Live anymore) but to encourage the loud mouthed yanks to actually insult everyone else in the world more is down right irresponsible.

Doesn't this little gadget actually break the rules of Xbox Live? Well, after a few seconds of checking, you'll find it does...

How can this company sell this product when it clearly breaks the terms and conditions of Xbox Live use?
