Microsoft Feels No Sorrow For Banning Over One Million Xbox Live Users With Modded Consoles

In what is going around as a MW2 inspired event, Microsoft has banned over a million Xbox Live users who have been using modded consoles online.  Word has it that MW2 appeared as a torrent before the official launch and that IW and Activision had been pressuring MS to do something about it.

And they did.  Having never really wanted a modded Xbox 360 I can’t imagine how all these people feel not being able to get there game on online.  What I did hear at the GameCrazy midnight launch was that only the actual modded Xbox 360′s are banned and not the the user’s account, therein meaning you could get a new Xbox 360 and be ok getting back online using your current account.

Thoughts?

    Ours got banned and had nothing to do with having a modded system. I happen to work for a rental company who receives games early to test them before customers rent. We put MW2 into the system and next thing you know we were banned. It was a real copy of the game and Microsoft didn’t care that it was the real game and not burned or illegally downloaded. It just so happens that my job gets the games early. That isn’t fair to us but like I said Microsoft doesn’t care to hear our story. They can have our stupid console. PS3 for Christmas!
