Mr Gates has banned my xbox from XBL. I was running a cracked copy of firmware on my DVD drive so I could play copied games.
I could say that I was playing copies of my originals simply because the 360 DVD drive is well known to scratch discs, or that at £45/game I didn’t want to risk dropping the disc and damaging it.
Truth is, although I did back up a few of my original games, I was also getting them from other sources.
It was a big game of cat and mouse trying to beat the beast which is MS, and eventually I lost. Fair enough Gates, you win.
That said, I can still play all my games just not on live, which I hadn’t been doing much recently anyway.
Fiver a month saved there then!
