This was low of Microsoft, but I still think the people deserved it. 1 million people is a lot of people. I wonder what's going to happen next...
yes- but, psn has talk of charging for playing online and it doesnt have a lot of top titles. online gaming is so much more fun with xbox.
I got banned November 6th. I got an elite on November 29th. Microsoft wants this. they want us to buy new ones for our game piracy.
Yup, next time DON'T do it.. if you can't afford games, then maybe you shouldn't own a console. Yes, but they lose A LOT more in the long run if they allow people to pirate games. Not only that, but gaming companies had threatened to stop making games for xbox 360, if MS doesn't put a stop to it and create better security preventions. I don't think it will hurt MS too much. Most people that got banned, pretty much bought a new 360. I hope PSN does charge... LOW? it must be low for people, who steal video games and burn them. What? you can't afford to pay 40-50 bucks for a game? If you cant then don't game... that's the price.. pay it or get out. Lawsuit? are you crazy. MS will throw down their TOS and say look. By joining xbox live, you signed this contract and it allows us to block you from ANY and ALL services part of the xbox 360. You broke one of their rules, which states you will NOT break any copyright laws. You pirated a game and modded your xbox... you broke the contract. When you break a contract it's null and void. Therefore, they can do what ever they want now. Next time READ what the TOS says. Because, people don't want to pay for stuff, and want everything for free. I agree. Exactly, but idiots in this world don't seem to understand that.. they think everything should be free, and if it isn't they deserve to steal it and use it. Worthless life of people....
No way! I know a lot of people with flashed/moded or chipped Xbox 360's this is not fare for the people on low incomes.
are you on crack? Do you know how much the prices have fallen for the gaming industry. Consoles went from $400+ to $200+ now. Almost 50% less in price. Games have dropped about 25% in price. If you CAN'T afford it... then DON'T play. So what? it's okay for all low income people to steal things? Just because you didn't try hard in school and didn't want a good education means you have the right to steal? Give me a break. All the consoles.. are a LUXURY item. If you can't afford it, then it means you shouldn't buy it at all. I didn't get mines till 6 months ago. I didn't have a lot of $ either. I saved up till I had enough and got it finally after 2-3 years. Even the games.. I bought them all. So don't give anyone this low income crap. Stealing is stealing no matter what, and it doesn't give anyone the right to steal anything.
