So it's not in the name of stopping thievery, but just to increase sales?

Microsoft gets way too much shit thrown at them.

I know you didn't just realize that?

I already knew it, but when it goes to an extent such as this, it gets a bit ridiculous.

You're one of the worst contributors to the Vgchartz community. All you do is stealth troll...

Thought it was just me who read all his posts that way lol.



but if they have modded console, they have hacked games so, at the end, they could just buy a PS3 ... right ?

hum, they could also buy a new 360 AND mod it again hopping to not receive another heavy ban hammer on the face ...



Time to Work !

Yeah that would be great.

I think most will just buy another 360 since thats what they already had before and play offline attempting to mod again OR buy the few games they enjoyed for free.



It's just that simple.

I thought about what the op thought too, million banned accounts could mean hundreds of thousands consoles sold.

MS will definately get more 360's sold but some pirates will definately switch to the competition...just to realize that you can't mod it later. Though I bet majority will just get a new 360 and play offline from now on.

A banned xbox can still play online with a friend, there are dedicated servers and tools you can use to play with your friends without xbox live. System link games only tho...

Regardless, pirates are not going to switch to ps3 as its not piratable format. Buying a new xbox and maybe...holy shit...buying online games? This is what I see happening. My friends are doing it already...



My friend got banned last night hes got a flashed box. But he said his profile is okay. wtf?? Thats what they SHOULD take.



Ynwa.
