A new release from the Royal Canadian mounted police indicates that modifying a games console such as the PS3 or Xbox 360 is a crime in Canada.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
We know. The place where I buy my games got shut down because of this. They were modding PS2 by putting chips inside of it, and the police got a hold of it and bam.
Thats an interesting law.
So if I were to buy a car in Canada and modify it to go faster therefore making it easier for me to potentially break the speed limit, would that be illegal too?
cos you wouldnt be breaking any law would you.
this should be implemented in all countries
This law is stupid.
If I buy a machine, that machine is mine to do whatever I want. I would be breaking the law ONLY if I played pirated games on it.
