good for them!!! keep banning, if you wanna Mod go right ahead (I have 2 moded original xbox's) but stay clear of live. I (like most people) pay for my games and enjoy doing so to support the people that make the games. I also know the headache that Moding on Live caused with the original Xbox, and maybe they are jsut stopping it before it comes to that again.

It wasn't having a modded xbox that can play burned games or games off the HDD that hurt XBOX 1. It was people taking DLC off their HDD and modding maps for different games that hurt it.

I find it amusing that people think that getting banned is a great injustice. There's no denying playing pirate games is theft. Hell, I did it myself on my 1st 360, got banned and Manned the f*ck up and bought another.
All these people whinging about the price of games, $40-$50 is not expensive. Lets do a direct comparison with the UK, substitute your $ for £ and you have the cost. That's right, $80-$100.
If people are making minimum wage $40-50 is expensive to them. They make what $6 something an hour. Thats only like $240+ bux a week. If they have bills to pay, then $40-50 for something that is not needed is expensive. I can pay for a game working about 3 hours. A person working a minimum wage job will have to work 1 full 8 hour day just to make enough, and maybe even need 1-2 hours more to buy a game. So tell me that's not expensive...

"keep gameplay safe and secure for our community"
lol thats weird, is playing backups make the community not safe and insecure?
They say to to put fear in the community and make the community think they did something that will help them. Also maybe MS thinks if the community hears people talking about modding their console and playing burned games, maybe people will report them.

This is
xbox-scene, not piracy-scene, therefore users are allowed to discuss
any xbox related news and issues, not just moan about Live bans. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Lay off the glue please. Its obviously affecting your judgement.
Yes its not piracy scene. But this site is mostly to do with hacking, modding, or cosmetic mods for your console. The average xbox fan will most likely not come here for non-modding related news, because most stories that aren't related to modding are related to sales #'s and 3ROL issues, nothing to exciting if you're not into modding your system.
