Good.

It's not a computer, don't try and mod it. Hopefully this will stem the tide of cheaters online.

Although there are real reasons for modding like bypassing region-locks(which is legal is some countries), modding breaks the ToS and should be punished.

Too bad about the people that really uses it for playing backups of their original games. I know how dvds are fragile.

Not sure if they banning that. If you read, it sounds like they banning those who mode it to cheat.

Either way online cheating sucks.

Yes, this is good news. I don't play copied games and I don't like cheaters. They did the same thing on the XBox. One of my co-workers had nothing but copied games. He had a switch on his XBox to turn modding off before going on XBox Live. After they were done with online gaming, they would unplug the ethernet cable and turn modding back on.

i play a multitude of pc games everyday, and i never see the amount of cheaters like you guys are saying. there are probably more racists on XBL than cheaters on pc. you get banned once on steam and bypass it you will get banned again.

I dont know, i know a lot of people who used to buy their games and then copy them onto their XBOXs for MUCH faster loading times as well as mods. It was nice and all to get Linux running on it, and it extended the life of his XBOX.

Its good as there will be less cheaters but i dont know it may be cutting off the media capabilities of it.

I've got no problem with cheating at video games, or even modding consoles.

What bothers me is doing this ONLINE. It's all fun singleplayer or split screen, but online is off-limits.

Funny how TC thought this was a great way to make fun of 360 for banning mods. Seems almost all the 360 users do not want people doing it online so this thread kinda failed for ya.

exactly you are winner. they want to stop piracy which is very rampant on 360 ATM, its not about stopping cheating. they used this halo 3 beta as a chance to catch people it seems.

Excuse me, but how to cheaters cheat when they can't change the executable, which is signed? Modding the consoles opens the door for the execution of compromised executables, which opens doors for cheating. Get it?

yeah but cheating is hardly rampant on XBL, piracy is though, i can show you 10 sites that have pirated 360 games and show you how to mod your 360 to play them which is actually easier to do than it has ever been with a console even ps2 or xbox1 and is basically free no less, get it ?

360's easier to mod than PS2's and XBox 1's? I don't think so. People managed to hack the XBox and PS2 without modding them at all.

Although there are real reasons for modding like bypassing region-locks(which is legal is some countries), modding breaks the ToS and should be punished.

Too bad about the people that really uses it for playing backups of their original games. I know how dvds are fragile.

they should have just been using the microsoft disc replacement program. Thats what i did when my gears disc cracked.

1. Copied discs are legal (they've been through the courts at least once).

2. No waiting.

3. No paying the handling charges--just the few bucks for the DVD+R DL.

But modding on the XBOX was well worth it. Yes thats right, i couldnt believe how playable Morrowind and BioWare games were on my friends XBOX.

Unless they want it like the old xbox they have too.

Modders will still get in ;)  Its like The PSP firmware update battle, most likely the same thing is going on with the PS3 updates too.
