said by WHT:said by BF69:You can buy a used Ford from a neighbor. Does The local Ford dealer have an obligation to fix your car if your neighbor sold you a lemon? Nope.
I don't think that is a fair analogy. Ford may not have an obligation to fix an out-of-warranty product, but they certainly don't have the right to prohibit you from seeking repairs elsewhere.
Can you play a XBOX game on any gaming machine like you can drive Ford on ANY road? Nope. An XBOX game will only work on a XBOX. It is 100% legal for MS to make their games only work on their machine. Then it seems logical they can also PREVENT games from working on their machine too. As I said it's a STUPID thing to do. New Coke was stupid idea too, but didn't stop Coke from going ahead with it.
