Would This Let You Have The Same Xb Live Account
« on: November 05, 2002, 10:18:00 PM »

Ok so YOU sign up for XBoxLive.

Then you go to your friends house with your mem card (no need to do an account recovery at all!) and copy the XBLive account to his machine.

So now HE can use the account as long as you are not using it.

Fine, but ooops, no communicator! So half the benefits are gone right there.

Hmmm. You also can't play against each other because you are using the same account. He'll also be able to charge stuff on YOUR credit card.

One or both will be locked out if simultaneous access is attempted...

Somehow I don't think M-i-crosoft is going to be too worried about this at all...

                                    The EEPROM has nothing to do with it!

It's the account itself that is important to them.

Re: Previous posts.

Yes this is doable and will work, as I said I doubt MS will even care for the reasons I stated.

They KNOW that some people will be doing this, but there is not a heck of a lot of incentive to do so on a large scale.

I'd like to believe that MS is taking a RATIONAL approach to this, versus the rediculous anti-mod stance.

In other words, go for it. If you want to.
