well it's entire up to him lah... same goes to others that flashed their 360. everyone knew the risk and up to them lah. everyone is an adult so consider mature enough to decide which is best or when is best or whatever... buying 360 doesnt mean have to be 100% playing on xbox live, it can be offline too lah. yes, with xbox live it rocks but not everyone got broadband at home also...
if you are not happy with someone using a flashed 360 then dont play with him/her lah. remove them from your friendlist... that's it. unless you still not satisfied then sue him/her till they drops their pant/skirt!
again, sometimes ppl also got difficulties along their journey and just cant afford originals during that time. so off course he/she must think of a best short time solution so if they decided to flashed/modded then let it be. who knows after the difficulties period he/she might be back again 100% original. if kena ban also it's their risk so up to them lah.
lastly, bro
xrated please stop posting telling everyone that you can afford this and that and yet you choose to buy ahem games because of your own beliefs. you are insulting others that bought ori with their hard earned money... you decided on your own then go on lah have some respect on others. also same goes to the other way around... ori users dont just think those flashed/modded owner just do it for fun... some really tight on budget.
conclusion, it's your life up to you to decide what/which is best. when you decided just dont blame on others.
* there goes my thesis hours... haiii...
yup.....agree on your comment about "xrated"... too....its either ori or non-ori..as each of us has our own reasons...but pls dont bring that "bullshit excuse" blaming it on your believe...
