I heard that Microsoft is not letting some publishers put free content (games, etc) on the marketplace to force people to buy the content that's already on there, like price fixing, does anybody know anything about this? How would you feel if it was true? I'd be pretty upset.

 I wouldn't be surprised if that really is true . . .

they just confirmed a HDD addition that ups the size of current hard-drives by 100 gb, why would they want people to only download certain things now? If anything they would be pushing people to download everything that's on the service right now so they can effectively flood the market with new content come the debut of the new hard drive.

they dont want people to download certain things.  he's sayin that microsoft isnt letting anyone put up anything on the marketplace for free.  that some studios have wanted to but MS has denied.  It honestly wouldnt suprise me.Â
