Xbox Classics Are Smarter Than You Hoped

little_professor.jpg

News broke at Silconera this afternoon when it was discovered (probably not surprisingly) that Microsoft is enforcing region encoding in the redelivered Xbox Classics. Microsoft has begun to pay much more attention to who is downloading what and where in the world you are doing it, likely due to the increasingly vast video offerings and their licensing agreements.

So, if you had registered a Secret Squirrel ninja name and selected Japan as your super secret home country but were really super secretly in the US, you can pretty much delete that gamertag now. It's useless. Retire your tiny ninja suit and relegate yourself to playing what everyone else on your block is playing.

That's kinda eerie, I had totally forgotten that I had one of those Little Professor things when I was a kid till I saw the picture.

I didn't have Little Professor, but I do remember playing my friend's. I had Merlin and Speak 'n' Spell and Simon. Those were the big electronic toys in my house.
