morabu Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 just a quick notice to my favorite community CR i am late posting this but it's better than nothing the game of cat and mouse has begun for all my modders out there as of yesterday MICROSOFT is ACTIVELY BANNING all modified Xbox360's from live, no matter what firmware or drive you have. NO ONE is safe! if you have not been on live in a few days................don't get on at all wait it out until there is a work-around, just unplug your internet from the xbox until there is word of a fix, all you have to do to get banned is turn on your xbox and have an internet connection there are a bunch of theories about how it's working, but nobody knows as of now be safe out there, J.R.

thorne Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Companies and people find anything to bitch about these days. Since the 360 being modded is only usable for stealing games. Don't give me any shit about backing games up. I think its there right to bitch. If you wanna play teh game you pay the piper. That being said I might have to get me another 360.

Guest Mekkahfire Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think banning them from live is a step too far, there's no proof that you modded your XBOX to play stolen games, as in, there is no proof that you have yourself ripped the game, or even played a ripped game. All you have done is modified a piece of equipment that you payed money to OWN (and may do with what you wish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you mod something if you did not use it ofor its only purpose. They have every right to ban you from there attempted secure gaming enviroment and keep you from steeling there shit.

Guest Mekkahfire Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 You own the equipement and the right to use it, not to modify it. Wrong. Otherwise this website wouldnt exist, as people would buy a car and any hint of modification in any form would immediately ban you from usage of public streets.

If DOT actively enforced their regulations, it wouldn't. That doesn't change the principle behind the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 You own the equipement and the right to use it, not to modify it. Incorrect, but they own the device with which to lpay online, so if you want to play you have to abide by their rules. HOWEVER, if there was no stipulation of not modifying the console when you bought it, then microsoft may be guilty of breach of contract. I doubt that they would do something like this without checking out the legality first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morabu Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 people................. you can still play all your "backup" games the only thing that happens with this is that they ban your xbox from playing online EVER AGAIN if you don't care about xbox live, then you have nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Play by the rules and you have nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey2721 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 What about the mods that you can run that allow you to stream things other microsoft based files thru your x-box? Thats not stealing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Steam did the same thing a couple years back if they found any modified files in any of the HL series MP games the account was banned along with the game key. Steam banned I think over 20,000 accounts and that was just for cheats and in game hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
