People getting mad at Microsoft for not allowing thieves to use thier service is ridiculous. Go buy a PS3 and then steal from Sony. Loss to Microsft? 0.

I have been playing on Live with modded for five years. They can't read drive firmware on everyone's box, now there are other ways to get cought but just rocking the firmware ain't one.

Are these types of mods not popular? I have a modded Xbox and it has a little switch on the front of the console that lets me turn off the mod and have the original Xbox.

On the one hand I don't use Xbox Live Gold so its not a big deal, but I will miss downloading updates and extra content. But there be ways around that problem too, Arrgh. Well I’ve been banned.

I would have thought the smart thing would be to have an untouched premium for Live and a modded basic 360 for offline gaming. An expensive option but probably still cheaper than a PS3 ;p P.S I had a modded Xbox (for XBMC) but never tried with the 360 as I use Live to much.

They earn money with selling games and SDKs to developers. So in they interests are not allowing game pirating. Microsoft earn not much money with console selling.
