MS today confirmed that more than 149,000 users have been blocked from the Live service. A spokesman for Microsoft said "Xbox Live Launch has been a complete success. Our plan to scam a further $50 from modchip owners has worked flawlessly. We hope to have another 300,000 Live starter kits ready for monday to cope with demand and to meet our target of 1,000,000 xboxes banned by christmas"
;p
;p
Haha nice post.
But well for once i'm not on the side of modders. You are warned in the user agreement that you will get banned if your x-box is modded, yet you still went through and made the account. Personaly I love the idea of mods and being able to play games that I import from other countries, BUT until this is the only use for mod chips(IE won't let you steal games/hack into the system) you can be sure companys will fight them any way they can.
Even then they will probelly still fight them for some reason.
