Ars Technica has posted an article
about how Xbox 360 consoles banned in the recent

I can imagine the amount of complaints MicroWank will receive from disgruntled kids during Xmas. Knowingly trading in an illegal system is immoral however very lucrative.

Its wrong selling back an modified system and making out it hasn't been touched at all (not that changing hardware in the console is illegal at all, just playing pirated games is) so MS get to disable your hardware from the live network (this should be illegal!) ban the live account fine, not the hardware you fucktards!, thus making the console hardware as good as useless for the online network/multiplayer, but at the same time MicroSuck must have known this would screw the 2nd hand market of people getting rid of their shit Bricks. Even legitimate owners. As the market will be flooded with shit Bricks now.

Should little Billy buy get an xBrick for a decent price and take the risk on potentially getting fucked over by finding out his Xbrick that won't work online with Livecrap, or pay top whack for a brand new one that might have to be sent back for replacement parts later on, but should work for xmas Smile

.

Personally the solution would be that MS would re-enable consoles with a new owners live account. But MS Live support are complete and utter fucktard asses to do deal with, I dunno why anyone with half a brain would support them. They'll fuck you over soon as they can if it means you'll have to give them more $$$.

Well lets hope everyone grows a brain this xmas and stops supporting the the monopoly that puts out shit for noobs.

How for can the Xbox 360 wireless adapters radius cover? I want to buy one so I can finally hook up Xbox Live, but I want to know how far the wireless adapter can reach because my computer and 360 are pretty far apart. Thanks.
