In Response To: Re: Plus - (Bry) : Depends, publishing rights can be pretty damn powerful too. Its one thing to : own the IP, its another to have the ability to actually sell it. : Its why we have no GoldenEye on XBLA, Nintendo still owns the publishing : rights and MS didn't want to share the profits. Hmmm... not that I know the particulars, but I think the current legal/financial mess at MGM/UA that has even stalled the production of the next Bond flick would be the bigger problem. The James Bond IP is tangled up in a whole bunch of knots... untangling them to get an XBLA port of Goldeneye out may be beyond Rare's abilities, or even if doable may cost more effort than they could justify with the returns. -- Steve notes that the Acti/Blizz agreement seems to extend just to Bungie's as-yet-unannounced "new IP", which may be significant; that potentially gives Bungie a lot more freedom to walk away from pressure to generate crapware.
