Microsoft ain't playin....

[erickm713]

Dudes going crazy with the banhammer....but not account I'm talkin full blown console ban!

From Major Nelson

"As you may have read online, we've been actively banning consoles from Xbox LIVE that have been modified to play pirated games. Our commitment tocombat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of our Xbox LIVE community remains a top priority. All consumersshould know that piracy is illegal, and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs, violates the Xbox LIVE terms of use, will void theirwarranty and result in a ban from Xbox LIVE. The health of the video game business depends on customers paying for the genuine products and services theyreceive from manufacturers, retailers, and the third parties that support them."

"This would also be a good time to remind you that the warranty on an Xbox 360 console is not transferrable and if you purchase a used console that hasbeen previously banned, you will not be able to connect to Xbox LIVE."

I'm layin low for a min

I'll be playin games on Live next week.

Maybe they get tired of playing by themselves...

Exactly! But they figure to take advantage of playing a game they got for free or super cheap.

Will you still be able to play your pirated games?

 

[sohi 23]

do you need to remod it so that you wont get banned or what?

or should i just hold out on live for a few days?

So? Online free makes up for the LEGAL games we pay retail for.

I thought if you just stealth patch the game then they wont be able to find you?

M$ hasnt revealed their tactics of how they find out who's modded and who isnt. Im gonna use my technical knowledge and just say that there are minoriconsistences with the disc speed and data on burned discs and takes a tally and matches them up with normal benchmarks. It's data collected over a periodof time

at this point theres nothing you can do. those people who have gotten banned or have yet to be banned will be dealt with regardless. I hadnt played my xbox ina week..logged in and my console was banned. This happens every year around this time tho. I have had my system modded for about 4 months
