Re: My take on it...

Good choice! I pretty much only bought an xbox because of that, then realised I could use it for playing Soul Calibur at my yearly get away with friends.

oh my...

...looks like the fun police are out in force today!

Perhaps these 12 year old kids should be out loitering in the streets instead...
