You can get a 4GB 360 for $150...so if you get perma-banned it's not the end of the world. Get a new console, sign up for a new Gold account, and move on with your life.

Now, if you get perma-banned a second time you are just beyond retarded.


You're either 12 and don't understand that $150 is a lot of money or you don't understand that people who don't regularly pirate games have a lot of things tied to their gold account (which I assume people dumb enough to try and play multiplayer are those people).

If youre account gets banned, not only is that console and account banned, but you lose any MS points you bought, you lose your gold subscription, you lose every save game, you lose any games you downloaded, and you lose all DLC you've downloaded.

Right...so as I said: If you are really that tied to MS, go get a new console and re-subscribe to Gold.  Are you trying to say that people who get perma-banned for pirating software don't deserve it?  Because otherwise I do not sympathize with your point whatsoever.

I'm 25, by the way. I work for a living and am putting myself through school.  I would never be retarded enough to get myself banned from XBL.  Those people get what's coming to them.

And what I'm saying is if you're that tied to your console, it's a bigger deal than that.  Yes, you can just buy another console and resubscribe but the point is you've lost everything.  Not just your gamerscore and acheivements, but also every piece of DLC and XBLA game you've bought.

I actually fully agree that the people who got banned deserve no sympathy, I giggle a little time every time pirates get banned and then they bitch and moan they did nothing wrong, I'm just saying $200 is a lot of money to waste (new 360 plus a year of Gold), anyone who works for a living should know that.
