Wave of bans hits Xbox Live

November 11 3:03 P.M.
As many as 600,000 Xbox 360s were banned from the Xbox Live service this week in the latest in a series of crackdowns by Microsoft on illegally modified consoles.
The banned machines -- a "small percentage" of the millions of Xbox 360s around the world -- are alleged to have been modified in ways that violate Xbox Live's terms of service, but Microsoft won't say exactly how they can tell, nor exactly how many users were affected. Banned consoles can still play games, but can't connect to the Xbox Live service for multiplayer gaming, content downloads or software updates.
"All consumers should know that piracy is illegal, and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs, violates the Xbox LIVE terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live," Microsoft said in a statement today.
The bans were apparently timed to coincide with yesterday's release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, expected to be by far the biggest gaming event of the year. One affected Call of Duty fan, a self-confessed software pirate called "Raz," told the BBC about his disappointment.
Owners of modded 360s will no longer be allowed to play online.
"It was a big day yesterday, the latest game we've been waiting months and months for. We've played the whole series and this one's come out, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2...I sign in online and next thing I see, 'Your console has been banned from Xbox'...now I don't know what to do," he told the BBC's Newsbeat.Most law-abiding gamers will have little sympathy for Raz -- but at least one banned Xbox owner claims to have been targeted by accident, and that Microsoft won't listen to his excuses.
"My console and my fiance's console were caught up in the Mass Banning going on by Microsoft in their latest Pirate Witch Hunt. My fiance is a chef, and plays games like Viva Pinata, Arcade Games, and can't figure out how to remove the battery pack, much less tear apart her system to 'mod' anything," he told The Consumerist.
He's had little luck with Microsoft's customer service, either. "At one point a man who called himself 'Charles' told me that it was my problem and I should learn to follow the rules, then hung up on me," he said.
Everyone who refuses to play MW2's campaign are complete idiots, it's a fantastic storyline and needs to be seen to the end. So, much, conspiracy...
and the quotes match the what the game is about. Blind national pride, greed, revenge... it's so amazing. I sincerely suggest playing it was well worth it, I mean, I agree CoD MW1's campaign was nothing to die for, but MW2's was fantastic. I FELT CHILLS when Shepard... well, lol, xD find out for yourself!
Again, CoD MW2's campaign is absolutely RIDICULOUS, and it's really enjoyable, the plot line is fun! It's well worth it.

Yeah, the 4-5 hr plot is so worth it.... 🙄 Maybe part 7 will be 2 hrs storyline....still worth it then.
I WAS tempted to get this game but after reading complaint after complaint about technical issues on the IW forums... i decided not to get it but pre order ME2 CE instead.

seriously? is your 360 modded or are u innocent? 😄
It's clearly M$ right to go ahead with the banning, problem is, there are indeed innocent ppl getting banned, and the can't do sh¡t about it
I haven't used my 360 in over a month... actually I did use it online around 2 weeks ago to re-download the multimedia update.. that's about it...

My boy got banned last weekend. Cant say I feel bad though. He was always bragging how he didnt had to pay for games and that we were fools for doing so. He loves CoD and now he cant play multiplayer. Im glad I decided not to mod mine.

I beat campaign the first day mostly to get it out of the way and concentrate on MP. Ill probably start Veteran mode once I become prestige. It sucks that they raised it to level 70 now.
As for Shepard, I was dissapointed by what happened. I was happy using the Rangers and he does that shit. I've grown fond of Soap and Price but I want to see some Americans last more than a game. Hopefully for next game.
