Xbox 360 console modded for pirated games bans on Xbox LIVE

Customers who’re indulged in the illegal use of pirated software have another slap; Microsoft is banning Xbox 360 consoles from Xbox LIVE that’ve been modified to play pirated games.

Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson recently posted a warning that they are currently banning consoles from Xbox LIVE if they have been modified to play pirated games.

it looks like Microsoft has started cracking down on Xbox 360 gamers who have been playing pirated games on their modded consoles. The article on IGN has quotes from a Microsoft spokesperson about how modding your Xbox voids your warranty and it will get you banned.

Microsoft has irrevocably banned unprecedented numbers of modded Xbox 360’s from its Xbox Live service, stressing that piracy will no longer be tolerated, and happily pointing out that such units have voided their essential warranties.

You may be thinking well why is he quoting this?? Well because M$ have started banning xbox 360's with modded cooling. So if you've done the 12v mod your in risk of being banned for it....

(not even for pirating so good luck with pirating)

Firstly, and most obviously, you cannot connect to Xbox Live on this console any more. This means no more game updates (aka title updates), XBLA games, marketplace content, netflix/sky player and so on. There is no way around this, all online capabilities are now disabled PERMANENTLY.

two different searches came up with this.. clearly sir you are wrong once again.

there is away around it which is probably what irony is talking about but you can still be banned from that game you were caught on but get to keep your gamertag to play other games but you can now no longer play that one game online without getting a new system even if you go out and buy the game.. in no way shape or form is it worth doing it..
