Yah, we all know M$ is banning them by serial number. I thought this conversation with a MS rep was kinda funny though:

So....is it just me or did MS guy call the XBOX a "semi-PC"?Quote:
William Hello and welcome to the Xbox interactive online chat support! My name is William.
Jon Do you have my question or do i have to type it again.
William Microsoft will defend the gaming experience for our users on Xbox Live, and will not approve the use of any game cheating devices for the Xbox gaming platform. This is a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use. If users attempt to access Xbox Live with an Xbox installed with modified hardware or unapproved software, their Xbox will be blocked from accessing the service now and in the future. Microsoft reserves the right to take other appropriate action in the future, which could include canceling the user's subscription.
Jon So when Microsoft said we wont take action they were just lying
William No, the software for catching and blocking hadn't been fully perfected before.
Jon People use the mods to access music, movies, and pictures for legit reasons. So i guess to play online and acess data on a pc I should go with a Sony.
Jon So is the account blocked or is the xbox itself blocked
William The Xbox itself, the account is actually useable on a new console. The original console with the chip will never work again even if it is removed.
Jon OK. Thanks for your help. I'm off to buy a Sony.

Jon Thanks and I'll tell Sony how great Microsoft has been in convincing me in buying a PS2
William I guess it depends on whether you want superior gaming or semi-PC possibility. Either way have fun!
