Wow that's pretty harsh, but I suspect MS had numerous broadly worded portions in their user licensing agreements which allowed them to remotely blow up xboxes.
Yes it reminds me of the power Amazon has and is a truly disturbing trend. Consoles are slightly less competitive than ebook readers at least. As I understand it it's XBox or PS3. If Amazon decided to brick their device for what they thought was a breach of copyright, Kindle owners would simply angrily walk away from Amazon and go buy a sony, or nook, or other device. With XBox guys they only have one alternative which offers different games and many don't like, the PS3.
