If I didn't spend all my money on videogames I'd be able to work two months and live for a year. But no, I'm not a 12 year old kid anymore. I don't need to rent every PSX game that gets released and then burn it so I can play it for 5 minutes before I decide to never play it again. That's for poor people with no jobs and too much time. Now instead I purchase several hundred new releases at 69 bucks a pop over the lifespan of a console, and then don't have enough time to play them because I'm busy working.
" ha that is great. one million people is a lot of consoles. $300 (average of the consoles) * 1,000,000= $300,000,000 + DLC of money. that is a lot of people still. i kind of hope that people still pirate just so people will stop making PC piracy so bad. piracy is bad but 360 is even worse seeing as it is a console. "
MS has gotten enough money out of me, and i don't pirate :P Launch consolereplacement console- warranty expired - RROD purchased other 360 - GPU failure - warranty expired........5 days before it failed now i just got an arcade on monday, because after xclamp fixing my gpu failure console numerous times it just died i reallly really hope my new console doesn't fuck up....i am getting sick of this "
have u thought about buying a ps3 yet? it's a lot of bad luck that u have there. i'm on my 3rd 360 right now. i hope it doesn't die.
I took it into a shop [the Xbox], there was a guy back there and I asked him and he did it for me [chipped it]. He charged £75 to get it chipped but at the end of the day I said to myself I'll pay £75 to get it chipped, after two games I've paid the money back.
I've probably saved about £600 and I've copied roughly 30 or 40 games. A lot of them I've downloaded or I've taken off friends that have downloaded themselves.
When my mate told me that Microsoft had banned 600,000 users I was amazed but the fact it could be as high as 1,000,000? Microsoft have really done well on this one.

i've had the same ps3 since launch.......... most of my friends have 360's....therefore i play that most of the time, and only buy exclusives for ps3
I hope some cheaters got banned for pirating as well. I'm tired of those people that power cycle their routers to get an edge in multiplayer online games.
If you want something to laugh at, check out the Xbox forums banned section. Ton of people getting on their & crying about their innocence while at the same time stating they'll be getting a replacement console & moving their hard drive to it since they won't be able to play their "backup copies".
So far I haven't heard of anyone that I know of being mistakenly banned.
Hell, Microsoft was saying that if you ask them to verify that your account was mistakenly banned AND they find the reason why you were banned & it was an official reason, then they will ban your account as well & reduce the score to 0!!! I guess they want to keep the pirates from spamming microsoft about why they were banned when they have the proof.
