Apps soon to launch on XBox One

You're right, they can show it, at their own peril. You're wrong, it's not a Feature of the Console. It's one of the Major Features of the All Around Entertainment System. Microsoft don't see it as a games console. They marketed it as an all around entertainment
system. It's how they justified the huge price tag. Again you're wrong, the fact that Microsoft advertised a fully working, major feature of their all around entertainment system on an exclusive platform without securing the rights to operate the feature in
that market is not a "minor technicality" but a "major oversight" and any cockamamie cooperate legal team that tried to argue differently would be living in cloud cuckoo land. Microsoft gambled that they're such a huge company they'd get the rights easily.
Typical American arrogance blowing up in their faces yet again.

Personally I'm glad they're dragging their heels. Every time a console bundle is released at a cheaper price I take mine back to the store for a full refund as a damaged product and then buy another one at the cheaper price. I'll be encouraging all my friends
to do the same because legally our consumer rights are protected against this kind of behaviour from companies. If they can't provide the product working as advertised within a timely fashion the consumer is entitled to a full refund as the system cannot be
sent away for repair because the fault is not a hardware or software issue but a licence issue. I already did it once with the Titanfall Edition. I got a new console for less money with a game thrown in free. I'll continue to do it every time a cheaper bundle
comes out until Microsoft fix it, and there's nothing to stop me because my consumer rights are protected. In my opinion Microsoft Xbox have shown contempt to their customer base outside of their domestic market and I'm fully prepared to do everything within
my rights to recover my costs. I'm sure that I'm not alone in this so not resolving this issue is already costing them money. The longer they take the more I get back.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Turn on your Xbox 360 and select the Xbox One tile. Bear in mind that you are on a UK exclusive dashboard tailored to UK customers, just like the U.S have their own dashboard and the French have theirs etc etc. In that
Xbox One tile watch the video about how the One revolutionises how you watch TV. It's a major selling point. A feature that is unavailable to 100% of the people who saw that video. So legally I would think that Microsoft don't have a leg to stand on. Legally
they're fine, uploading that video to the U.S dashboard because the feature is available in the U.S. Arguably you could say that legally they'd be ok if they uploaded it to the UK dashboard if it was only available to say half the people that viewed it but
to say that legally they're covered in lying to 100% (everybody) in the UK that watched the promotional video. Well that's just silly my friend.

They had full knowledge that the feature wouldn't be available in the UK. They control the content that gets uploaded to Country specific dashboards. Ergo they are in a very actionable position as it can be strongly argued that they took liberties in adding
non existent selling points to a product in order to increase the number of units sold.

So long as both consoles have sufficient apps then I don't really see the problem. Both sell (and are doing) well. Past that, so long as consumers are having fun on their consoles then little else matters in my opinion

Sorry... That last one was for baz. Guess I'm losing my eyesight as well as my patience!!

I know Ben! Had a little tirade about it all yesterday!! But reading some of the stuff on here I do feel a little better. Guess I do need to be a little more patient

After all I really don't like the playstation.... My sausage fingers don't fit well on those daft pads!!
