If yours is modded, feel free to give your opinion here. No worries there will be no banhammer here.

I have never avoid ori vs piracy talk before, unless it gets too hawt because at the end of the day, i believe forcing something down peoples throat or being ignorant won't change people's mindset. Goto make them believe in it...

...& i believe in Microsoft Hardware + Software + Services gona change that. I myself also come from modded to non-modded now. As alot of other user.

..but someday, microsoft will ban modded console from accesing Live.

haha, hardware not that hardware la. I mean the processing power/gfx.

software as in the games.

service..ya xbox live. Competitor offer free gaming but it's not unified. Just like there are tons of free MMORPG out there but that doesn't stop World of Warcraft being the quality one.



Edited : when they gona ban? Well my guess is until they are comfortable with the Xblive subscriber 'coz they trying to prove to the market, the publisher, the game developer that alot of people play xb360.
Of course the above are just my guess why Microsoft till now didn't ban any account. Heck, even my US JP account are still working fine. No content restriction...yet.

Correct me if i am wrong but damn, there are like alot of new xb360 user coming out from the closet...

Arrlloooo??

*echo back*

How many more xb360 user out there that i don't know? What's your gamertag? Post up!

Just that when you will get ban from XbLive.

Hehe, finishing the sentence only me. So i can be a double agent, good & bad of both world.

If it's the same as Xbox 1. It will ban the "I.D" that is save inside your xb360 eeprom chip.

Actually i think your gamertag will be safe. It's just your xbox. They ban the ID that is written inside your EEPROM chip. Unless you cheat in multiplayer game, they will ban your gamertag.

That's what happen last gen.

Yup..it's Microsoft...they can do whatever they want to. 4 years of well-develop xbox-modding scene and here's what the homebrew elite has to say : Stop trying to figure out how Microsoft ban your xbox.

Now i just don't see the point to mod your xbox. There is practically no proper homebrew application that is worth checking out. You mod your machine just to scare yourself shitless everyday you turn on your xb360, hoping microsoft don't ban you. What's the point? Why not enjoy your legitimate xbox games to the fullest now, and if the homebrew scene ever gets into serious business, then only you buy another xb360 core system to mod? By that time xb360 will be dirt cheap too! Besides, we got no expandable hdd yet...mod your 360 for what?!?!?

When the homebrew scene is alive & kicking. I will sorta evaluate the rules & regulation here. (what?!? There is a guideline here?!?! )

My advice is : 1 virgin premium xb360 + 1 modded core xb360 (in the near future) = best bundle.

hehe..exactly, that's why you see those buy ori actually play more game although they got fewer game.

Well i am not sure whether that's a good thing

Where the hell were you?!?!?!?

haha, no wonder...the time of me seeing you on Live is like 2-3 times!!!

Anyway good luck and congrats on your new home member~ When the homebrew scene catch up, i am pretty sure you will see my annoying face outside your house doorstep, with a 360

Those who work in sungei wang are not microsoft staff, when you get ban from Xboxlive...how are they gona 'warrant' you a new xb360?

All the 1to1 3to1 10to1 warranty are just their shop warranty. They are friendly when you try to buy xb360 from them, when your xb360 are really in deep shit...it will be the same result.

One of the microsoft conspiracy to get everyone buy 360...

How & where? I have been playing Halo 2 for 1 year on modded xbox, personally i haven't met anyone using pirated copy to login live. Also to my knowledge, that's almost impossible.

For the records, i got ban 5 times on Xbox Live.

Exactly...since Xbox 1 it's all about guessing. Nobody really knows how the banning works.

I still believe its part of Microsoft policy for not banning modded xb360, like how Microsoft not spending that much of an effort in stopping pirated OS in China because they want the user to adopt Windows, then in 5-10 years time when Microsoft start cracking down pirated user, the user would have no choice but to shell out cash for the legitimate copy because they are so used to Windows Platform.

It's the same scenario for Xbox Platform but for the console market, Microsoft is not the dominant one.
Remember their 10 million xb360 & the millions Xblive subscriber promise?
Captain Jack Sparrow is indeed part of it.

Cheh...you chin chai say only is it.
I knew it....

Yes, i get ban playing on modded console (because i forgot to turn off modchip), sometimes i just get ban for....don't know why.

Sorry but i think your "source" is very teh weak when i heard you said people are playing Halo 2 on live with pirated copy.
Anyway, nobody can tell exactly how Microsoft ban this & that. Instead of worrying too much, why not just get the legitimate copy and enjoy the game?

@michael9413, that's xbox 1...not xbox360.

That's what i thought so too.

So again, i am predicting Microsoft gona take sometime to build up the xb360 user base first, once they have the required momentum in the console race, they will start banning the un-virgin.

Bim bim bam bam...

Fire in the hole.

I think it's enough, lets close this thread. If anyone wana reopen this for pure 360 mod/unmod discussion...spam other moderator (like kite, unusual or even Arj!!!!) with lotsa PM.
