ROTFLMAO
Free xbox live weekend for the 600 consoles left out that they didn't ban LOL
You, sir, are official a retard.
You do realize that there are like 20 million XBL accounts and something like 35 million consoles "out there". This makes the piracy rate according to the worst case scenario in banning like 5%. Thats a complete joke in the big picture.
Most of you are just pissed little kids trying to "get back" at MS by getting a PS3. Good luck with that.
MS will make profit out of this instead of loss. The 5% people banned has no effect on revenues, instead they represented potentially lost revenues via game titles for them. Publishers and studios will be much happier and more eager to get their titles onto 360 if the piracy rate is low and the userbase is big, meaning there will be more popular titles on the xbox, meaning more people will buy xbox and get the good titles on MS platform. Outcome = profit.
Try to wrap your head around some basic bussiness rules before you come out spitting random bs please. Your whiny ranting wont change the fact that you got your ass handed to you and you cant handle it.
P.S
I was banned 1,5 weeks ago also. No XBL Gold subs, some original games. I knew what i was getting into by modding and i accept the fact im cut of from the internet. But i can still play all the games offline, i dont need the bs HDD install feature so basically no harm done, no need for a new box and definetly no PS3 (who plays on that piece crap anyhow)
