I wasn't talking about the Xbox in specific, although its very well possible to do that in Xbox games as well, it just needs to be hardcoded in to the game. You have games on the PC, that require a CDKey to play online, and they block any ip starting with 5.x.x.x during LAN games for example, because that's the IPs used in Hamachi. Go download LFS and try it for your self. Then come back and say i'm full of **** again and its impossible to "block IPs". And apparently YOU have no idea what the hell a proxy is, cause proxys have nothing to do with tunnelling applications like these.
And hushy, everything i say about the 360 isn't an opinion, they're facts. I don't even remember the last time i gave an "opinion" about the 360 except that i wanna get one for Ace Combat 6 and that i don't wanna pay for online play. That's it, everything else aren't opinions...
And tbh, despite my support for Sony (yes i'm a Sony supporter, and in many peoples minds that makes me a fanboy already) i never even considered buying a PS3 yet.
Oh and "the man" was a
PR from Microsoft hushy. I hardly doubt he would be lying about they're own defective rate when the number is so high. They lied when they said it was 3%, i doubt they're doing it when they said it was around 25%.
