I too was going to mention about the kids look of awe while watching Halo 3 and his dad standing next to him saying "oh we don't like shooting games". The kid was totally immersed and wanted to play. Bet that kid grows up to be a wimp, bullied with a shitty job, all because his parents wouldn't let him play teh Haloz!

which this doesnt seem to be
more of a stab in the back

It doesn't stop there - imagine arriving at the BBC for an interview and getting hauled up in front of the cameras:

For those outside the UK, it's these Monkeys that we have to pay £135 ($270) a year just so we can have a television in our home.
What I don't understand is how someone could get it so wrong!

Wii Sports has sold a total of 0 copies. Considering it is a free game that comes with Wii.
You could just as easily say its sold 11 million copies since its bundled with the Wii.

But yeah, this news report was BBC just putting through their own propaganda about convincing the public that games as violent as Halo (which isn't even that violent) are bad. The BBC aren't stupid (like FOX 11
), they're very good at getting the exact specific message they want the public to hear without them realising.I remember when some guy got murdered and Manhunt was blamed, the BBC eventually reported that the police had come to the conclusion Manhunt was unrelated in the murder. Then when Manhunt 2 was actually banned, they said that the original Manhunt was "related" to the murder, not mentioning that previous important detail.
And there was that Panorama report on violent Youtube videos. One of the British higher ups for Google said that they were happy to cooperate with law enforcement, but did not feel it was their responsibility to judge which (violent) videos were illegal. So what did the BBC do? Hey, let's fine some random chief of police in some obscure city to disagree with Google on camera.
They even do things like not making ANY news on the arguably liberty destroying ID cards on TV, but keep plenty of stories on it tucked away on their website.
And yes, we have to pay £135 a year for this shit (the TV license mostly funds the BBC). I can't believe the government keep saying the public approve of this.

I'm in the same boat - did I miss the referendum on the TV License fee? I'd love to be able to opt out of all BBC channels and not pay a penny to them. You've gotta hand it to them though, the recent advertising tactics (yes, we pay for the BBC to advertise their own products too) for the TV License encourages you to set it up via monthly Direct Debit, in the hope you might forget about how much you actually pay for this crap.
Back OT, a lot of news programmes try to cover technology and almost always get it wrong. Either they should hire someone to cover the story or not bother, as misleading knowledge is worse than ignorance.

im in the same boat as you, if i could i wouldnt even consider paying for the crap they put on the telly, the bbc do actually come to work dressed in a black and white stripped jumper with bags written "swag" on them
they couldnt even get a halo 3 story done properly, theres faith in the communist - like state we live in called britan
