I say ban their a$$es! |
Modding isn't piracy. Those consoles were banned because they're were modded, not because they were used for piracy.
I hate Microsoft even more due to the way they handled this. I'm sure there are many people that had their consoles banned without a fair cause. Modding a console is not inherently evil. The terms of use excuse is a complete kick in the nuts of consumers.
Think about it, simply changing the faceplate of your Xbox 360 is also considered modding, and yet Microsoft doesn't attack the companies that makes and sell those plates. The reason why? It makes them money.
The thing is, Microsoft bans all the type of modding that doesn't give them money. You may put a new faceplate, but you can't make any other changes or you'll either get your console banned or you'll breach the terms of use and never be able to get you console fixed for free.
