"This is exactly the kind of post I expected to see in this story. It's Microsoft, therefore it's bad. They should bend over backwards to sell you hardware at a loss and then let you do anything you like with it. Hell, they should give you a free keyboard and video adapter and pay someone to put Linux to it. Not good enough, they should have shipped it with Linux! Right?"
I never mentioned Microsoft or Linux. If own something, I should be able to do whatever I want with it, as long as it is for personal use. Just because something's made by Microsoft, does not make it bad. Why would I own an Xbox if I thought that?
"Doesn't Counter Strike teach you anything? It wouldn't take long for cheats to appear and it fucked up CS for me and many others. Shops have these things called video cameras to stop those people with pockets using them the wrong way - but I bet you are against video cameras too."
Yes, stores have video cameras: they don't kick everyone with pockets out. I have no problem with video cameras. Damn, you presume a lot. Why not check the validity of the game rather than the validity of the Xbox?
"And you are going to waste god knows how many hours arguing like the little bitch you are that you have every right to use a mod chip just because you want to. The fact that Live has an agreement that explicitly bans any modified Xbox doesn't matter to you, because you figure once you've paid your $49 you rule the universe and MS have to do as you say. Try it, dickhead. Get your Xbox banned and then whine about it on slashdot. I wonder who's having more fun?"
I haven't even put a modchip in. There's no reason for me to. I think people should have the choice to, though. It may be in the agreement that you can't use a modified Xbox in Xbox Live, but that doesn't make it a good decision. Or is it that once something is in a EULA (which I haven't clicked through yet, by the way) it's right. Yes, it's LEGAL, but it's not right.
I won't get my Xbox banned and I won't whine about being locked out because:
1. My Xbox is not modified
2. I have no subscribed to Xbox Live
Given those two things, which you assumed I had done, by the way, I don't see how I could possibly get banned.
