I hope all the modders like their current games, because anything that requires the NXE is going to get you pwn3d!

We’re getting reports that the Microsoft Ban Hammer has crashed down again, this time targeting Gears of War 2 and Call of Duty 5 pirates. Heres one quote from one angry forum user:

"ooh well, dammit! this sux ass! was sittin’ here catchin’ up on some hulu stuff… and low and behold i get a message, disconnected from xbl. didn’t think much of it. then i’m imin’ with a friend of mine, and he asks, can you get on xbl… test connection… YOU’VE BEEN BANNED!!! argh. owell”

Oh well cant say we didn’t warn you! Another member believes it isn’t anything to do with Gears of War 2 saying:

“I did NOT play gear of war early, i played if for the first time to day. So this does not only affect those who played gears early.”

There’s one thing in common in these comments (No, not there very bad grammar and spelling) They all have modified Xbox’s so here’s a warning kids - Don’t play with mod kits!
 
Serves them well? Dude what are you on some sort of super-crack? FFS relax cookie.
 
poor xbox users.....sod sod..

don't cry for meeeeee argentinaaaaaaa...

LMAO!
 
Yea, well, the day Mcsoft's SA server is open for business is the day ill stop my piracy. If they dont give a $&*$ about us, we shouldnt give a *$*# about them.
 
nah Keeper ... methinks you have Xbox-envy, why else would you constantly post in these threads :D

Ironically, that attitude does not only justify people's greed for crime but also given Microsoft more reasons NOT to set up shop here. Bravo! Give yourself a pat on the back.

Really? I think you'll just find another excuse to justify it.
 
wait, so for some strange reason saffakanera isn't able to connect to live? how come everybody else can?

perhaps i'm just missing something...

Its because he's a pirate that uses no live support as justification, but honestly, if it bugs you so much, why didnt you get a PS3 instead, they have local support.
