The Fun Is Over For Xbox Live Owners....


Apparently, MS fucked up on this one... according to the reports I've found, some people with unmodified consoles have been banned as well.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting that MS implemented something to ban people who modified their consoles, I'm just saying they screwed up in doing so. Modifying your 360 is breaking the TOS, so complaints from people who've done it (and subsequently got banned) aren't justified IMO.

Why? Were you only planning on getting a 360 only if you could mod it?

Why not? The best reason to get the original XBox was its post-modding capabilities. I don't think the 360 mods open up the machine's capabilities quite as much, but still.

I only bought a (original) xbox about 6 months ago because of the modding capabilities :)

Maybe, but do you really have enough confidence in Microsoft code to put money on it :)?

This is a shocker? Remember what happened with Windows Genuine Advantage.
