There wont be any besides private copying...anything public and Microsoft has lawyers on your ass so fast itll make your head spin. Besides, if you go online (LIVE) with a modchip your xbox serial number gets banned, and probably traced...

Once the game goes gold and is mass produced, it will be leaked for xbox mods to use. Avalaunch usually gets them first.

Well, it is easier for a PC game to get pirated than an xbox game. Yeah, there are modchips out there and stuff, but if it gets pirated it wont be that bad....it wont affect them much. Btw, I say this game will sell around 5 million copies. You heard it here first!

Actually your wrong, your xbox serial number doesnt get banned, its something else (which im not going to say). You can change that and get unbanned.

I'm not. Xbox2 will be out by then. Then again, those numbers could be correct if X2 gets backwords compatibility.

Is the Online Key inside the eeprom that gets banned, and that eeprom is inside a chip on your XBox motherboard , the chip is located right above the bios chip of your XBox motherboard , with pirate software like Config Magic you can change that eeprom for another one taken from another XBox , then you go LIVE again , but you still have 99.9% chance of getting banned again if you forget to turn off the mod , thats why i have 3 XBox consoles , one for LIVE and 2 for LAN PARTY crazyness , yeah im talking about modified multiplayer maps of HALO . whooohooo.


Yeah, i know, but evilpoo didn't want you to tell me. Oh btw that shishka will be here soon to snip all this out as "illegal posts". don't worry, i'm not going to mod my box. (yeah, shishka's really looking out for OUR safety, and not just being opinionated.)

I think it works like: Once your caught, that serial number is banned from LIVE support. Yes, you can mod it to change that, but then your LIVE account is also restricted. To change that, you would need to change the account in the Microsoft LIVE database... I think..

Yeah thats why I didnt say much more.

Edit: Brash the guy just explained it above its easy to get unbanned. But its easy to not get banned unless your dumb.

Well true if they make kick ass games such as halo for it. Ohh and I really want that damn hard drive in X2. Man those little flash memory things are -blam!-. Its nice having the luxury of a hard drive and when you have to lower your self to a non hd box then it kinda sux. but hey it has better hardware. I hope developers really take that advantage.

The flash could use a very respectable compression. I don't think you could play music, but for saving all your LIVE updates, game saves and downloads, it could work better than most of us presume it to.
