Thor. Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Like Sony reaping in the sales as the 360 gets banned in the USA, Ps3 now has a monopoly in Console sales other then the wii.. Atleast in the USA there is a monopoly :teehee: Seriously though the 360 should of been banned severial years ago, especially at launch with that rrod thing, i mean honestly you can only siphon of the 360 sales for so long, 11 years is a enough. That goes for the ps3 to, although the cell is still Valid. Still new tech.. Also That ban actaully was a good thing in My opinon, the 360 was hurting the pc market when it came to innovation.

Delikatessen Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's not banned... that article, and all others, say that a judge, a single judge, recommended that it be banned. That doesn't mean it WAS banned. Not only that, but the decision making powers rests with very few people in the ITC. Like 5 or 6 people in total. That judge is not one of them. Furthermore, most recommendations by judges in the ITC are hardly ever taken into consideration. So in short, it's not banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Dange if thats true, cries a bit.. I was so hoping...

SubjectProphet Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It is banned from sales in the USA, the judge didn't recommend it, he ORDERED it. According to websites based out of the US, the 360 is no longer in inventory and 96% of my google search results are my sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to websites based out of the US, the 360 is no longer in inventory and 96% of my google search results are my sources.Can you point me to credible, well-established news sites that say the Xbox 360 is no longer in inventory? That is, no personal blogs or low-publicity news sites, or any sites related to the matter. Third-party only. Like I said, the decision to actually ban something rests with a very small amount of people within the ITC. What gives you the idea that it IS banned? According to my searches, Amazon, Gamestop, Walmart, Newegg and TigerDirect are all still offering the very same Xbox 360's that were "banned" (the 4GB and 250GB S versions), and all websites I've read are saying he recommended the ban, but the ITC hasn't actually ordered it (yet). As a Microsoft rep said... "The recommendation by the Administrative Law Judge is the first step in the process leading to the Commission’s final ruling...". Notice how he said "leading to the final ruling". That means the judge's word IS NOT final. I request you cite sources with the previous conditions (1. No personal blogs, 2. Well-established, 3. Third-party). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubjectProphet Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 As the road is currently being traveled, the system will be banned from selling. Without the judge's final ruling, many companies have stopped being supplied with them, because if they purchase new ones and have them shipped and the final ruling states a ban, then the company will have lost money. Online shopping is used through store shipping, so as long as a store in this world has one, it will be online for that store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who are these "many companies"? Can you provide a source for that? I'm not trying to be mean, but tremendous claims require tremendous evidence. In this case, you claimed that the Xbox 360 has been "banned", yet you did not provide a source. Also, a quick Google search reveals that what you posted is either entirely made up or you took it from an unreliable source (personal blogs aren't reliable). And one more thing: those companies [who?] are still selling them. It's that they're not ordering anymore, because they're worried about the ITC actually issuing the ban, which means they won't be able to sell them, meaning they'll lose tremendous amounts of money.
