Default Nintendo gets B**** Smacked!

Who else read this? This is the largest pimp smack I've ever seen!

http://reuters.com/news_article.jhtm...toryID=1655750

For those too lazy to read, nintendo was smacked with a 150 million dollar fine for limiting cross selling in europe. this is BS when M$ and sony do the same thing. who's in charge here.

don't worry, nintendo said they had been saving up for a fine like this, so it doesnt' hurt too much, and they also plan to appeal, cause it is so freaking much money! yikes!

Once again, Crash arrives with the news about a week after everyone else knows about it.
