Hope These Dissed 360 Boys convert to PS3

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/12/cnet.xbox.live.ban/index.html

See what you get for your loyalty 360 boys, you get thrown off of Xbox Live.

Okay so it was a move to stop all modded 360's for there illegal use, but if you ask me, thats something Microsoft should've tried to make unhackable before the system even released, and now you have 1000,000 disgruntled 360 owners that can no longer play online.

LOL it's like there trying to make the 360 fail, and if they keep doing stuff like this, us PS3 boys will be smilin' as Sony laughs all the way to the bank and our install base grows.

[QUOTE="SrgtSaggy101"] What backfire? You can gladly take our pirate trash, there all yours.Shattered007

MS let pirates run rampant all this time and then right on the release of one of the biggest games this gen, right before x-mas they ban everyone. They didn't do this for the good of the industry, they did this so ppl will have to buy more xbox's.

I'll bet you this banwave will pass, x-mas will pass and they'll let pirates go back to doing what they do and next year around this time, probably before Reach lands, they'll do this again.

They don't care about 3rd party dev's losing money on games, they barely have any first party studios, the pirating is helping them more then you guys imagine, this is all in the name of profit. They've clearly proved they can find and ban modders with relative ease.

I could be wrong, and the days of 360 modding are long gone, if that's the case I'll admit I was wrong in a couple of months, but I'm pretty damn sure they'll let pirates go back to there old ways so they can sell more consoles. Think about it, if the 360 was no longer pirateable, why not just get a PS3?

I'd love to see this backfire on MS, instead of all these pirates buying another 360 they bought PS3's for x-mas. I'd lol.

Wow, you really don't know what you're talking about do you?

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo charge developers royalty fees for the privilege to publish games on their console. Even if MS doesn't have any first party studios (an exageration but I'll let it slide for the sake of discussion), they make money from every third party title that's published and sells on their console. However small the royalty fees may be, profit is profit. So MS does have a vested interest in the sales of third party games on their system and it is in their best interest to ban pirates as soon as possible, even if it doesn't turn into a bunch of new console sales.

Besides, if you'd been paying attention to the news in recent months and years, you'd see that MS cracking down on piracy is not a new phenomenon in the slightest.

Hopefully pirates will stay away from Ps3. Why would anyone want them? They are but vermin of the gaming world.

Typical Sony fanboy...gotta try and force their' "console" onto the rest of the world.

does it really bother you that badly that there are people out there that prefer something over your' precious Ps3?

Granted I like the Ps3 over the 360,but why should I care if someone else thinks the opposite?

and you shouldnt be putting down anyone...you have an Oblivion avatar. :)

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="Shattered007"] Or..or it was the fact that soooo many people where playing a game that didn't release yets a solid week before it came out. If I'm a sniper, I'm taking out the guys ahead of the pack before they fall back into the crowd.tikki25x

lol this thread got RUSHED

nominate this as the worst thread of 2009, is anybody else on board? this was a real doozy and its not even over yet!

Is it by chance only that the same week MS bans 1,000,000 xbl accounts is the same week Walmart gives out a $100 gift cards for a core 360? And wonder just how this will affect 360 sales, for the next month or even ps3 sales?

GreyFoXX4

It would be just as easy to pick up another 360.

[QUOTE="tikki25x"]

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"] Wrong, tons of people were banned who haven't even touched there 360 in months, every single friend of mine that had a modded 360 got banned, some of them haven't touched the console in a while. You don't need to take my word, there are reports and articles all over the web. This wasn't because ppl were playing MW2 early, that's happened with tons of other games, this is so MS can squeeze out some more sales. And the proof will be they'll allow the console to be modded again until next holday season. You'll see.Eddie-Vedder

[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="tikki25x"]good. your friends got what they deserved. and youre rediculous conspiracy theory is laughable. yup, MS is only banning people to get holiday sales. that makes SO much business sense. why not ban them year round so the filthy pirates can rebuy 360s all year if youre gonna go there.

delta3074

That's not true, at least according to everything that I've read/heard. I personally know 2 people that have been banned and have had their console for more then a year, and they told me that EVERYONE they knew with modded consoles got banned with this wave. One of them hadn't touched his 360 in a while, so it wasn't because of playing MW2 early either. Before you'd here a story about a couple of thousands bans cause ppl played a game that came out early, this time it's over 1 million. I know this isn't certain, and MS could really be closing down on piracy, but if everything goes back to the way things were before, meaning it was relativily easy to go another year without getting banned, it kinda proves my "theory".

When you play with fire expect to get burned is all I'm going to say

[QUOTE="Knight-of-NINE"][QUOTE="Racer_XLR"]They got dissed? No, Mr. Knight. That's a good thing. They knew the risk and they got caught. Done deal.locopatho

I remember how a huge pirate that is popular on Youtube was saying how **** MS is and how he is switching to Sony. 360 sucks, etc after he got banned from Live. Some people lack common sense and reasoning.

The majority of pirates are casuals.

They don't follow brands or anything like that. They just want to pirate games on their mod console.

How is a pirate loyal?CanYouDiglt

I don't know. I guess you could buy a ton of consoles, and mod them all, so instead of paying for games you pay for consoles.

That's the only way I could think of. :P

I wish the French would swoop in and save the day for all
