I'm so sorry that I can share a limited amount of information, which I could of chosen not to and I won't bother in future since you hate it so much. Honestly you're acting worse than Ahi in a TeX thread.

"Please cite where the T&C's you list have been ruled "automatically unfair"."

Since you're too lazy to google: here and here. Also, again, you are showing a basic misunderstanding of UK contract law. The OFT are not going to chase down Microsoft, except as part of something like a monopoly case, for their T&C's. It's down to consumers to bring actions to enforce their rights under the act, and the unfair terms are listed in the law itself.

And no, it's not in the interest of ATVI-B or EA to piss off one of their major current dependencies until they can shift enough risk elsewhere. If you look at their current annouced games and business activity, they *are* moving work away from the 360. (Mostly to MMO's, handhelds and social gaming, and also away from the PS3 as a result of not being as interested in joint 360/PS3 projects, but not to the same degree)
