I think that, should this every wind up in a court, it should be required that the EULA be presented in the same manner in which it was presented when accepted.   So if it's a 3DS EULA, the judge has to read the whole thing using a 3DS.  The lawyers have to reference sections with their 3DS.  Regardless of the legality of claims made in the EULA, this would show that the terms were not presented in a fair and honest manner, but in a way that would encourage to just "CLICK ACCEPT".

I'm glad to see this article on GB - good job Patrick!
I'm an editor over at GameMarx.com (we cover just XBLIG) and it's good to see these guys get some love from the mainstream gaming sites.  One reason game journalists site for *not* covering indies is they don't know about them.  Asking someone to cover a game already out isn't the norm either, GB sites like to have a review ready the release day, and being able to know when that day is... well, that's kinda key.
I'll make a plea to see more XBLIG covered here on GB with the others.  There are many good games, but Micsosoft has a epic failure in making that clear on the dashboard.  They recently had a major security flaw in the ratings system and games were getting up voted and down voted on hacker whims.  The closed the flaw, but sadly did not restore the ratings.
This is why getting more mainstream visibility into the service is key.  There is no pressure fans and developers of XBLIGs can put on Microsoft to do the right thing, or even push them to stop blocking indies from achievements, leaderboards, or stupid rules like not letting you play XBLIG offline (you must be connected to Live to play).
Once again, really glad to see more XBLIG coverage on GB!

$3 to play a MAME game? I guess the plan here is to make Avatar clothing look like a deal by comparison?
 
Microsoft already has a horrible interface for searching though the 200+ XBLA games, and the 600+ XLBIG - I wonder how bad it will be when they have 1000 titles in this section.

I just added a review to Mega Man 9 and had the same problem - trying to give it two stars displayed as 4.  I edited the review (by which I mean created a new review that somehow loads the old one - there really needs to be an edit link somewhere that makes this easier to find) several times and finally by rating the game 1 star it displayed as two.
