Microsoft ban naughty people from xbox live.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Microsoft disconnects Xbox gamers

Anyone a naughty person who has been banned?

Thoughts & opinions on the action taken? It won't deter piracy but it should be a preventative for some atleast.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Wouldn't know how to mod an xbox EVEN if i wanted to

So, not off my socks, go for it!

The people I know with ripped boxes don't play online so it does not bother them; or they have two boxes, one modded, one not.

 

[Embattle]

You can always expect such action from companies.

 

[megadave]

It's pretty easy to not get banned, just dont go online with a pirate game. You deserve to be banned if you're that dumb.

 

[ST^]

Pretty funny account of someone finding out they were banned:

Where is Clown these days?

Where is Clown these days?

He's not even on FB these days. He gave up the forums in protest at the lack of trees and owls.

Oh...I thought it was only evil PC gamers that pirated?

Thinks (quite rightly) everyone on the forum is a bunch of wankers. He loiters on irc instead.

Not that he is the biggest of them all?

We had two techies moaning about it yesterday. They had their xboxes banned just as cod mw came out.

Understandably, everyone else ripped the piss out of them

A few guys at work have been banned but the best part is they don't see it has their fault as to why they have been banned but I guess these days where piracy is normal it's ok to start throwing toys out of the pram.

Naturally those of us at work who have legit a legit xbox are laughing at them as they frantically try and get another xbox chipped.

The BBC story was funny though.

 

[Ch3tan]

Why would they get another box chipped? The chipped box they have will still work off-life, they could simply buy a 2nd box if they really wanted to use Live.

 

[Raven]

I call bullshit

 

[Aada]

I call bullshit

I call a dirty pirate.

Did you get banned? or don't have an xbox?

 

[Aada]

Why would they get another box chipped? The chipped box they have will still work off-life, they could simply buy a 2nd box if they really wanted to use Live.

Why wouldn't they want another chipped Xbox ? 6/7 of them have never ever bought a legit copy of any 360 game since they had their Xbox's chipped around 2 years ago and happily play like fucking larry online with their copied games.

They aint gonna buy a new 360 and not have it chipped just to play the best online games because they are a bunch of tight bastards.

 

[megadave]

Most games arent worth playing online, if they are, then they're worth buying. If they arent then just play offline on a user without xbox live :d

I wonder if there will be a surge in people buying xboxs this month?

 

[Raven]

Why wouldn't they want another chipped Xbox ?

Because their already chipped ones still work...just not online, it would be retarded to try and go online with a chipped xbox now.

And no I don't own an Xbox or pirate games.

 

[Ctuchik]

Why wouldn't they want another chipped Xbox ?

because the next one they use online will get banned aswell?

probably shouldn't tell that to them tho
