LoL, i'm only amused at this news cos when i bought my modded 360 from andy at tnl last year, i joked with him whether the live ban/3rol will affect me 1st? now i know whistling.gif

hurry up and prep an official malaysia 360 launch, MS Msia smile.gif keep the pricing on par with sgp prices, pretty pls? i'm still buying ori games waiting for local official launch smile.gif

if pirated games kenot go online, selling official games + live subscription in Msia is feasible. hopefully, the govt dont overimpose too much taxes.


only 1 regret: no more going on xbl idolmaster leaderboard to learn from those expert producers how to properly produce my jpop idol with my current set cry.gif cry.gif

90% i sure MS only banned modded console with ahemm games , i force my friend try his modded console on live with ori games ,his console still fine from yesterday till now .......hehe ...

i'm 99.99% sure MS is just toying with the rest of the modded but not banned group. haha, sit the the xboxlive hq everyday very boring mah, so they ban some, then the go read those message boards and forums to laugh at those who are still unbanned but fearful. every job has its moments. look at those 800++ comments at MJ. LoL

MS is being bollocks when it comes to introducing Live services here in Malaysia. Below are the software piracy rate in certain countries for the year 2004:

1. China: 92%
2. India: 73%
3. Venezuela: 72%
4. Chile: 63%
5. Mexico: 63%

All the countries above has Live services whereas Malaysia with software piracy rate of 63% is being left out. And mind you, the data shown if for the year 2004. I bet with the ongoing crackdown on software piracy here, the latest stats will be lower  vmad.gif  mad.gif
..........
huh? except for mexico, the other 4 countries dont have official LIVE and china is not launched just like Msia. icon_rolleyes.gif

Actually, this ban is kind of a blessing in disguise for me.
No more whoring for gamerscore biggrin.gif
I'll still buy ori games though. Eternal Sonata and Mass Effect. Oh gods.
Only think I'll be missing is the XBLA games. Boo.

thats weird. maybe its not my turn yet for the banhammer cos my GS is so low? muahaha, they do the bans in waves, starting from high GS downwards or they must pity me cos i sucked bad at achievements tongue.gif tongue.gif

yes it is a blessing in disguise. like i said earlier, this all actually makes local launch more feasible. if pirated games kenot go online, ppl who care abt LIVE MP will save up for ori. ironic but thats the way it goes.

my only wishlist for a local launch is that they can offer demo download stations and demo kiosks in at least one official shop. that way, customers can just bring their HDD to grab the demos very quickly (not thanks to streamyx) smile.gif

my feelings is like this;

as long as u buy some (don't care how many or how used) official games with ur own hard-earned money, then u r ok ler. maybe achievement unlocked +100 points.

for those little kids saving up their allowances or part-timing or studying hard for good results so that their parents help them with official games, i really respect also. +200 points.

if u decide to make sacrifices and efforts to go 100% official/ori (buy/trade/rent) on the 360 to show MS Msia that launch here is feasible, then really my hats to u. +500 points.



Added on

and lastly:

really nth wrong with enjoying ur pirated games or any other pirated goodss for that matter. if u r old enough to decide to enjoy ur pirated games, then u'll also realise there are plenty of other forums or messageboards where u r welcomed icon_rolleyes.gif



Added on

actually rgd this forumer Xrated, i really dunno much abt him/her or his/her post history. i dont feel his sig is in anyway boasting or mocking ori supporters. and last time when his site was still working, i think i saw dozens of official/ori games on his setup picts. notworthy.gif

anyway the beauty of this place is the /ignore function. it works icon_idea.gif
