xbox_evil2 Intend to get an Xbox off of eBay?  Watch out, you might be getting one that Microsoft has banned from Xbox live for having illegal modifications – that is to say, you can play copied game disks on them.

I do not own an Xbox 360, nor will I.  I am always a touch paranoid about buying into proprietary networks and systems just to be able to use a specific product.

I’m not particularly sorry for those who were banned, but neither am I feeling pain for MS either.  It really just boils down to the move/counter-move dance of the corporations and pirates.  I am sure the banned consoles will be back online soon enough.
