I don't think there was a boycott of 360/PS3 though was there?

Not as far as I know, but since Amazon sell PC games also and CoD MW2 on the XBox, PS3 and PC, are ranked 1 2 and 3 respectively on xxxx.com's best seller list, then I guess the 'boycott' is a drop in the ocean.

Of course it's still a significant hit even if 100k customers that would have bought the game, do not, but I doubt they'll be losing sleep over it given its success already.
 

Was it just me, or did anyone else notice the glaringly obvious COD1 screenshot on that page, with a pair of Nazi's firing an MG42 out of the house window in Stalingrad? :eek:

Come on BBC, wakey wakey... you're missing the 'modern' fun! :p

Loving the IWnet advice page for PC users.... yeah.... helpful, port forwarding - that'll help all those BT homehub owners then. Even when/if they actually change the page to mention PC's and not Xbox's.
 
What is the advantage of having it off?

It lets programs open inbound and outbound ports on your router without asking permission or notifying you (its nickname is unplug and pray), it was designed initially for a LAN environment as it made building networks and installing networked appliances and routers easier.

However if in a WAN environment if terminal is compromised then you have issue's. To be fair its not as bad as it used to be and I believe there has been some work on it but it was deemed such a severe security issue that the FBI even commented on it, recommending you disable it.

Yes, but I assumed that it was deliberate to show the graphical progress or maybe as a reference to the history of the game.
