    Don't they look some what similar??? I think Xbox copied steam cause this came out with the new dashboard, but Steam was out much much longer.

    Steam was made before the NXE before any updates on the xbox 360.

    I think that they worked together on it, there Way to simular to be rip off's of each other,

    either company would try and change it more so they dont look exactly alike.

    Well it depends, did steam come out with their gamercard thing before the update was announced? If not Steam couldve seen some leaked photos or something and made there gamercard thing. It probably takes a lot less time than a dashboard.

    Well im sure xbox and steam have some sort of agreement,
    they wouldnt just rip the idea completely.

    Mygamercard and steam must have worked together, those designs are exactly alike.

    but mygamercard copied xbox and its dashboard or mygamercard is made by xbox, either way steam would be copying the dash board of the xbox an the GT at the same time or the other way around

    if it was under copyright there would only be one

    Ok i figured it out >.>

    Neither of these sites are owned by microsoft or steam.... so neither company copied

    http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/ <~ mygamercard (xbox)

    http://steamcard.com/do/nxe/ <~ steamcard (steam)


    As you can see the steam site has copied mygamercard and even called there card style "nxe" which we all know is the xbox 360 dashboard.

    So the steam card site stole from the mygamercard site which got its idea from Microsoft lol.
