Ahh Microsoft, we thought you were the cool one! It is so disheartening to see you follow Sony and EA down the path of crapping on your customers.

Hidden in the 18th paragragh, their new Terms of Service prevent us all from using a class action lawsuit against Microsoft. Check it out below and then be sure to send a letter to Microsoft Corporation, ATTN: LCA ARBITRATION, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, letting them you reject this stupid stuff.
