microsoft banning modded xbox360s

[Colin-Roberts]

you can hardly say the 360 is obsolete when the 360 is still getting more sales than the PS3, just about everything is out selling the PS3 now, as far as I see it Wii is on top because of amazing gameplay, 360 after because it's online is just unbeatable and PS3 is at the bottom because it has good graphics which DO NOT make a game any better, I play DOOM on my 360 because, IT IS A GOOD GAME graphics really do not matter do they

and you missed the part about how ps2 still outsells all of those each month..

Hmmm, seems like an argument between Xbox 360 and PS3, with the Wii sitting in the corner getting crowned for glory.

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 alot more, so why not get something that is alot 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,,,

I'd not get mine modded anyway so idc

Good. Getting games for cheap is illegal, and it doesnt support the developers at all. What do you think would happen if no one bought any games? No one would make any, therefore making the xbox obsolete.

but the games do get expencive... Think about it you can get a 360 with a few games for around £275.00 and games cost £40 but 7 games cost just as much as the consol... even more. I can see why people would mod their 360's

I haven't been banned :S.

And loads of people on the xbox forum says it's to stop cheats, even though the disk can't be modded it is just copied discs of the game. And the only reason I find xbox fun is because I get games cheap. £40 a game's a bit dear, and when you want a variety of games, it soon works up.

Problem with games is that they are priced way too high and yet they are targetted at kids and teenagers which obviously do not have 40 pounds to spend on a game every week or so. They should really think about lower the price, that will probably bring them in more money as less people would go for the copied disks.

basicly what i put we iz thinking alike ye

Yeah they get expensive for the fact that they're improving hardware. I personally think PS3 could've easily have outsold the Xbox 360 IF it had removed its blue-ray disc. It was a silly mistake tbh, which cost them dearly. How did this get onto PS3 again? It's a Xbox360 thread, not a PS3 one thus the title 'Microsoft banning modded 360's'.. Which sucks for them.

Thyere expensive but it keeps the developers making even better games with better gfx etc

[Luckyrare]

Yuh a few people in my year have been banned. Shame on them.

Havent Microsoft always banned Modded Xbox's?

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.
