Yeah, I saw that as well.
Fair enough, the policy was clearly stated when you bought the Xbox. Their own damn faults.

After all the subscriptions, hard drives and HD-DVD drives and remotes and all that you need for a 360. You might aswell get a PS3 as it'll cost the same.

Saying that, just get a PC. 360 and PS3 graphics are so last year. Next gen my fucking ass.

I am not going to start that argument again.

First of all, they are not "soo last year" as they can cope with high end games much better than the PC.

What a useless reply. Why you wanna compare consoles with PC's anyway? Not everyone got thousands of pounds to spend every year to upgrade a processor or GFX. You will be able to play game's console on their maximum potential; assuming you got HDTV.  And are you sure they are already out of date? People need to think before they post!

Thousands of pounds a year? what planet you living on? try £250 every 18 months and youre a bit closer. Couple that with the fact PC games cost about a 5th of that of console games and you see consoles aren't the great value for money they make them selves out to be.

That said, I wouldn't say either one was better than the other, just different.

And £30 a year for an xbox sub is piss money compared to what some sad fucks pay monthly for an MMO on the PC, so I'm glad they're getting stung for trying to cheat it.

OMFG, are you serieus?.
Have you ever played a "next gen" game on a console,   The graphics sucks,  no AA what so ever,  and most of the times the FPS rate is very low.
I always lol @ a friend while hes playing TDU with 18 FPS when hes driving 130+ with his xbox360

Flame all you want... Consoles FTL

Build me a PC for 500 bucks and it can run the same as an Xbox 360.

Yeah, but then in a year's time, your xbox 360 will be like what the current xbox is like. Crap graphics, crap system, only good if you mod it. And with 360s, they get blocked.

He's right, consoles ftl. Have you ever seen a PC that has been banned? lol, thought not.

Shop around, no they don't, I get new PC games for about £15-25, new console games I have trouble finding for less than £35 and sometimes they're anything up to £50, a 5th was a bit of an exagerration but the point stands.

It was obvious from day one that this would happen. Hacking a DVD drives firmware is a crap way to play pirated games and was obviously not going to work with a console that is so centered around online content.

If a proper chip comes out with dual BIOSs (which I'm sure it will, given time) then modding the 360 would become worthwhile. I'm sure the PS3 will be easily moddable too. I know my PSP was simple to mod, I don't go online with that much anyway, I really wouldn't care about online content being blocked.

Can some one explain this error to me?  The message seems to indicate that you aren't allowed to run your XBoX behind a router because it uses NAT.  And this is somehow against the EULA?

I laugh at people who compare consoles to PCs:

HA HA HA HA HA.

Consoles own. If you have friends. If you like good games.

Pcs own too, if you like massive multiplayer playing and some good games.
