Don't connect to Live

Tonight MS finally started banning consoles with hacked drivechips - fair
enough, but typical of MS they seem to have banned a load of legit users
in
the process. Prats. :D


Oopsy - MS banning non modded Xbox 360's from Live too!

Despite a huge backlash from modders, it seems as if Microsoft are going
to
have to contend with another angry party - owners of non modified console
are who finding themselves banned from Live as a result of the new policy.
Large numbers of Xbox 360 gamers are stating that they have been banned
from
Live recently despite owning a perfectly original Xbox 360 console, you
can
view evidence of this at Xbox.com.


They've also put a stop to people getting stuff from Marketplace unless
it's from their own are.

You used to be able to download TV shows and movies and stuff from the US
Marketplace, but you can't now, apparently.

What is the point in that? I know it's all to do with licensing and stuff,
but it just seems so stupid. People were happily paying for the content,
now they can't, do MS think people are just going to say "Oh, OK then."?
Nope, they'll just get it for free instead.

Yes, but it's only as stupid as all regionalisation. More and more people
are not prepared to wait for US series and movies to be shown months later
in the UK.

Sooner or later the studios and content providers are going to have to face
up to reality and make *all* content available everywhere simultaneously.
