Wow,
I never thought this would get such replies to the thread.
I had previously spoken to Tez about this and pretty much new how he felt, and despite reading the post i must say that i'm still erring towards modding the box. Even more now that there bios' that stop you from logging into live whilst its turned on.
As for piracy, well i own all my games and if i were to back one up onto the hard drive it would be so i could play system link with my son on his hard drive without having to purchase another copy of already owned games.
Concerning this thread, I would like to see if there are any other people that feel strongly about this.
Bring it on people
