Have you looked at God of War of PS II? I'm just sayin'. And even if this is an old post. Seriously, Shannon. Have you looked at God of War of PS II?

I’m just sayin’. And even if this is an old post.

I don't know anything about modded XBoxen being used for cheating but I don't really see that as a valid excuse (nor do I believe it for a second that is it the reason why they are doing this). If a mod chip in an XBox can cheapen the XBox Live experience, then PC users would not be allowed to play Halo online because anything that can be done to an XBox via a mod chip can be done on a PC.

My biggest concern isn't piracy (not guilty of XBox game pirating, so it doesn't matter to me), but the fact that hackers could cheapen the whole XBox Live experience by cheating; this is one of the main things I hate about PC gaming. Regardless, XBox's are cheap enough now that buying 2 shouldn't be a financial burden...one for tinkering, and one for XBox live ;-). Halo 2 is an absolutely phenom game btw, I highly recommend it. I thought you weren't much of a gamer though? While I agree w/ your reasoning, do you not agree with MS’s (purported) reasons for this?
