| selnor said: Dude have you heard what happens when you take a chipped 360 online. Accounts Ive read are that their Live accounts are usually cut within a few hours. Anyone with a 360 will tell you, if you get it chipped DONT go online. M$ will screw you. I cant believe there was 80,000 odd copied Halo Wars games on the day of release.

Seems you're not up to date on the piracy scene
As long as the copy checks out good on stealth checks in programs like abgx360 it is safe to run it online.
Ban only happens to people running on old firmware versionen, 90% don't use chip - they use modded firmware, with bad copies.
It 's very know of what MS is checking on the disc when you go online. They can't detect the modded firmware but can do 1:1 checks on the games. They are checking specific sectors that may missed when copied like PFI, DMI, SS and so on.......but the scene now know how to do 1:1 copies which are live secure.
So yes 80 000 odd copies is no magic number, it's very logical. Piracy in Europe is way more coomon then the US, specially since most country doesn't care to uphold the law against it. Most country it's still legal to mod your machines.
Predictions for 2009:
360: 39-42 PS3: 31-34 Wii: 67-70
Future projection
Wii will hit 100 million before christmas 2010 (made december 2008)
NDS Family will have sold and shipped more then PS2 at the end of 2009 (made january 2009)
