Young Chinese factory workers reportedly producing Xbox 360 controllers over 15 hour shifts.
See what happens when you make cutbacks, like say not putting manuals in games Mr. Ubisoft? You get cheaper labor and cutbacks...oh and did I mention ILLEGAL CHILD LABOR IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY?! Kathy Lee loves kids...

You all make me sick... >:(

I don't see how this pertains to Ubisoft's decision to get rid of physical instruction booklets...

Cut backs...equals condensed labors... leading to outsourcing in 3rd world countries....thus you make me sick :D
 
I hate to not have faith in local products, however, I have made some large purchases of fairly expensive, American-made audio equipment that did NOT perform as well as the far cheaper foreign-made competition.

American laborers expect a premium for their time. It is hardly a wonder that it has become cheaper to ship items from Asia rather than meet the demands of local labor unions. It is unfortunate though as it slowly drains resources from our country as a whole.

It is unfortunate that the U.S. is not outsourcing to neighbors in this hemisphere. I see too little made in Mexico and/or Canada.

canadians want too much of everything like health care and hockey and such (tongue in cheek guys, i love canadia), and mexico cant even keep from drug cartels running the company (not tongue in cheek, mexico is really worrying right now)
 
Well, I know Mexico is definitely going through a lot of violence problems, but they actually do contribute more than people realize. It's just a little more subtle. Look at the clothes or garments you wear, there's a good chance it was made in Mexico. Also, Xbox 360 discs are manufactured in there as well.
