The US, well maybe it had to do with how their branch/subsidiary is structured over here.
Props to Capcom for winning against both sides. I'm definitely going to look at your next 10-K.

In reality, the US/Japan treaty allocates your income such that you actually owe $20 of tax to the US and $25 to Japan. Therefore, you file refund claims in both countries: $20 from Japan and $20 from the US.
That's how it works. Hope it clears it up for you.

lol but really on the story side why would anyone have sent a Xbox original in for repairs ever really? Most all people i knew who had an original Xbox had it moded i had an original Xbox but i never moded it. I feelt it was pretty reliable compared to it's older brother though.
I refuse to buy a 360 though. It's not cause I'm a fanboy. (I own the Wii and PS3 this gen.) I think what Microsoft did to get the Xenon processor in the 360 by taking the Designs from the Cell by paying IBM was really unfair to Sony who had been working closely with IBM and Toshiba on designing a super chip designed for use in super computing in the PlayStation 3 for a long time and planed on launching in December 2005. But Microsoft used unfair business practices and got Sony's designs for the cell and modified them a Little but almost all the work was done and Sony ended up delaying a year till 06.
What ever thats just my opinion, which i think makes total sense to anyone who read Dave Shippy's book about him designing the Cell at IBM.

The support line told me that it was entirely my fault, because an Xbox, like a car, ceases to work if you don't use it frequently enough.

Where on earth did this theory of MS stealing the Cell's designs come from?

I suppose it was more that Sony made a mistake, and ended up funding the research the competition used in their console. So, just business. ..But various opinions about it all might be valid enough, anyway.

If that Xbox 360 upgrade is free, that's a pretty sweet deal, though I'm sure it isn't.

But can you really play your own music while playing games? That's something that should have been in the PSP as well. Hope Sony will put it in their next SKU.

Well, it's a sound file, and not a game ROM... so... no?

Yeah, but you think, maybe... Oh, I don't know... they can acquire legal copies of their own music?
