And it's not a moment too soon, Major.

The murmurs of discontent surrounding XBL Marketplace rorts may have finally gotten through to Microsoft, with Major Nelson today announcing he's looking to lay some rules down for the service.

As you can imagine, we have some very specific guidelines and policies in place for Marketplace, but I want to open up the floor for discussion and see what the community thinks. I'd like to frame this as what should the 'Xbox Live Marketplace 10 Commandments' look like?

Gee, you'll never guess what the first comment was:

THOU SHALT NOT ABUSE THY CUSTOMER'S WITH MICROTRANSACTIONS

Amen, brother. The thread is becoming increasingly cluttered, but if you'd like to throw your $0.02 into the discussion, head over to the good Major's blog and make your mark. Luke Plunkett
