After hearing modding forums across the interwebs explode in anger when finding out about Microsoft's recent use of the Xbox Live banhammer, Microsoft's [Only registered users can see links. ] decided to make an official comment.

"In our our continued effort to keep gameplay safe and secure for our community of more than 14 million members, Microsoft has taken action against a small percentage of Xbox 360 consoles that have been illegally modified in order to play pirated games. The health of the video game business depends on customers paying for the genuine products and services they receive, both from manufacturers and the local companies that support them."

So, there you have it. The health of the video game business depends on slapping modders and haxorz on the wrist and taking their [Only registered users can see links. ] privileges away. So, kids, don't do it. Don't mod. Or just don't go on Xbox Live with your mod

Bans?

I haven't got my TV set up so I haven't been on my 360 today or yesterday, so I'm scared now . I hope I'm not banned, I have the urge to go and set it up and see now . Or maybe I should avoid live for a bit .

Yeah I just read that .

Well, I haven't played any games before I shouldn't, which some site thought was the issue, till someone pointed out non modded 360s are being banned also. Although none of the links worked to those threads/comments .

Microsoft have no reason to ban me and I will sue the living crap out of them if they try it.
