Lol, so it overheats? I guess that does lead to quite a dynamic experience, if not a reliable one.Quote:

It's a bit of a rubbish response really. 'Don't play pirated games as you won't get tech support'. How many people really need tech support on their games?

a few points I'll add to this discussion ;
1) My Brother has had 2 xboxes since he got his. They have all suffered from the crashing and overheating bug. Each time MS have replaced it with one they say should not be affected but it has been.
2) Security ? A few months ago when you logged into the Xbox live system you could clearly see all the card information inserted for the live service or to buy additional content, with no masking at all.
lol my bro has an xbox 360 since christmas and its not overheated once.. and he runs it basically constantly. Mine has not overheated yet and I've had it for 2/3 weeks and my room is an oven!
Urghh. How could MS get something so basic wrong? You can not modify the game at all- no region change, no game file change, no texture changes, nothing. If you did this, it will break the digital signature and the game will not run.Quote:
which could allow people to play illegally copied and modified games
What did people expect MS to say?
"Yeah, well done chaps. Nearly there, eh?" would have been nice.
Same gist, less spin.Quote:

Yes, because any large multinational is likely to do just that :rolleyes:Quote:
