That is always the problems with announcements. First you have the announcement – which should always sound nice… nice you have the listener… who should listen carefully….and then the writer – who should listen carefully and write it down correctly….
This way – an announcement sounds really nice at first….. and after some “rework” on such an announcement = it can start sounding a bit disappointing.

First we had the Netflix announcement and this time I have this experience with the Primetime announcement of Xbox360;

From MajorNelson.com;

Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to give you more reasons to get online with your friends.  Games will support everything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but many of these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends, and even set a reminder for an upcoming show.  Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions.  Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.

Sounded really nice; but now the following announcement = “be launching only in North America, France, Germany and the U.K.” Do these countries sound familiar to you…???

And as you all know; I have my home in HOLLAND – DUH !!!
AND – now they are blaming a dutch company….. hahahaha

licensing restrictions for Endemol’s game shows

Okay – it all beats me…. GAME OFF…..
