microsoft banning modded xbox360s

Games are expensive but not that expensive. I pick up most games for about 30 - 35 quid from most online shops. And I think you'll find that quality games are not released weekly. The last real big title I bought was Crackdown, the next game i'm getting is Shadowrun which is out on June 1st, then I won't be buying much until Bioshock later this year.

As far as I remember on the original Xbox, If you went onto Live the console would automatically stop connecting to live if the console had been modded?

They brought out mod chips with switches on them and I believe fixed the problem but I'm not sure.

So far as i remember they did yeh.

Although i never had my own xbox on live only the 360 mind my mates got banned i swear it did.

Anyway lets face facts

This is a 360 thread lets stay on topic?

360 Owns ps3 always will.

Sony should just be bought out and all ps3s binned cos thts practically wht is needed.

Flame at me? Idc ps3 is crap always has always will imo.

Anyway unlucky chucky to all them peeps who got banz0red from live. ;D

so +44 why should all ps3's be binned?

really sad act fanboys like you should get binned, theyre only consoles fgs not your life

get out of your little nerdy xbox bubble, have you even got a ps3? if not you have little opinion really

I have both and do agree the 360 is currently better but its been out 2 years and the ps3 2 months. So what if the ps3 has hardly any games, we have blue ray which costs a bomb. and wait for it, we can run linux with no chips we simply press a button. Both consoles are good

Pfft notice i said I DONT CARE IF YOU FLAME ME but nah cant read. :rolleyes:

I dont spend my life on the xbox *removed*. I spend it on habbo. ;)

And yes i do own both and ps3 is absolute junk.

Microsoft will always be better at consoles but sony should just stick to making tvs and dvd players. :rolleyes:

The PS3 is awful, they make it too ridiculously expensive, but for the right reason. The Blu-Ray tech inside is new and powerful. But is this necessary in a Games Console? Not really. It's to play games for enjoyment, not to make them look nice. The PS3 may need less upgrading, but they have had more time and that extra time hasn't exactly made it that much better? Looking at an Xbox 360 and listening to some peoples opinions, it would appear to me that the Xbox 360 has about as good graphics as the PS3 for alot less. Microsoft have done the good gamer thing, by releasing a console for its players to enjoy, rather than holding it back a few years making people get bored of the phase.

The only reason I would ever buy a PS3 is for the cheap Blu-Ray technology. Finding it in a DVD player costs a lot more, so why not get something that is a lot cheaper and has about the same good use?

The PS2 was the best console Sony brought out. Good game play and one of this worrying too much about graphics. Where did they go wrong I wonder,,,

The fact about graphics is not true. The game developers simply converted the games they already made to work on the Wii (in some cases) and to work on the PS3. They didn't make it specifically for the PS3s technology. You will need to wait a year or maybe longer to see developers taking advantage of the power the new PS3 has. I just cant wait to see what the final fantasy developers will do with the tech. The PS2 (with FFX - final fantasy 10) they did an amazing job with the graphics and game play, its just amazing how far they use the power the console supplies them with.

Thats not really true. They have high costs yes, but its also a problem that not every gamer (specially those that want a new game very often) wont buy a new game for such a high price, they would end up poor lol.

I dont quite understand why they would do that. People pay for xbox live and pay for the xbox, so they make their money. Game developers are the ones that loose out but they loose out on all other consoles the same way, so its not really going to benefit Microsoft much I don't think :S.

I have a modded xbox 360 and I download the games onto dual layer discs :P Anyway They have said it may be caused by the demo of Halo 3.
