26 May 2007Microsoft covers its behindMicrosoft has missed more shipping dates than Nicole Richie has missed cheeseburgers, so this particular delay wouldn't be especially interesting were it not for its cheeky nature:
In an e-mail statement sent to Next-Gen, Microsoft said, "It has come to our attention that an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity was included in our initial production of Halo 2 for Windows Vista. As such, we have updated the initial game packaging at retailers with a label, so customers are aware before purchasing the game."
How obscure? It's not actually in the game itself, but in a map editor application. Should you screw up your edit in such a way as to produce an ".ass error," whatever that is, you are virtually mooned. Me, I always assumed that ".ass" would make a better top-level domain than filetype extension, but then I don't work for Microsoft. (Via Elendil.) Posted at 11:19 AM to Birthday Suitable , PEBKAC |
