I had a dream that animal rights activists complained that Penguin Slider is cruel to fish so Nintendo added a bit at the end that said, "And then they were returned to the sea".

There's a nice obit that applies more widely:

That was a pretty garden, plus think of all the money you'll make selling potions.
I've heard that Fable II has internet content - I guess you open some treasure chests and insted of giving you an item they give you a URL, which you then surf to, play another little game, and then get a unique prize, which you will have the next time you log in to FAble II on the Xbox.
Rock Band also has crossover stuff between Xbox and internet.
