The Reach of Xbox Live

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Found this information to be very interesting. I found it interesting due to the fact that I assumed because the internet is everywhere anybody with an XBOX could log in and play. However it seems that Microsoft only allows the service in certain countries. They have just announced the addition of Russia, Columbia and a few more. What gets me why would this be regulated? I would think that you would want to provide the opportunity to everyone who purchases your console right? Maybe the Tech is way over my head and you need special servers and tech support etc to run it but…. It is 2010 and every body should be able to play. Follow this link to see which countries are included…
