Datel, located in UK, filed Monday an antitrust lawsuit again Microsoft for locking out 3rd party memory cards for the popular Xbox 360 gaming console. Microsoft locked the cards out through a firmware update, which stemmed from piracy concerns. Marty Glick, who currently represent Datel in this lawsuite, was quoted:
Microsoft did this for no other reason than to eliminate competition, as Datel’s cards offer higher capacity than Microsoft’s own.

* Obtaining information from Xbox consoles without permission of the owner;
* Other problems/consequences associated with these bans have been reported here and elsewhere. [Read More]
