Its never too late to join buddy, its a big step to take that split from civilian life and drop everything you know and commit to military life. i joned at 21 and have never looked back, dont get me wrong it was a big decision but im gratefull in the long run.
Re: Xbox 360 banned in germany
banning the sale of xbox consoles is pathetic, its like motorola have thrown their teddy in the corner and said if your not going to pay for the software then no-one gets to play. Motorola = attitude of a Spoilt brat.
Re: Xbox 360 banned in germany
My wife who is in Germany right now said XBL is still working. We have internet from a German IP. I am thinking this is just the sale of the consoles. Games and accessories are still for sale all over the place.

Cheers for that:) yeah I swear just going through his writing and you always pick up great quotes. One that is in my head from the Spanish Civil war is when he is talking about not shooting some guy because he was running and holding his pants up. Cracked me up to the point I had to stop reading:)
Just wish my school days we actually read books (we never touched animal farm or 1984) instead of being forced to watch bowling for columbine for the millionth time (we watched that so many times that I lost count)

That's good to know. I mean, don't get me wrong, it makes absolutely no sense, but I'm happy for Germany that Motorola is thinking with their ass instead of their head.
Of course, it wouldn't be too much trouble for MS to do a large-scale system update and just change the video compression software, either. That is, unless, when they say "video compression software" they also mean the software used in the games as well, in which case an update for each game MIGHT also be in order. Motorola's just being child, but MS is being stupid.
That said, unless LIVE uses different software, I still am not counting out the possibility of Motorola striking against the online service as well.
