So disallowing them outright makes sense to me. The moment someone figures out some elegant cheat that relies on a mod'd xbox the gamers would be screaming for microsoft's head (just imagine if you could gain gobs of marketplace points? there'd be fiddy thousand class action suits filed by angry gamers.). Frankly, I'm surprised they waited this long to do it. The 'no auto-ban for bad behaviour' analogy doesn't really work because spotting a mod'd xbox is a trivial technological issue, dealing with an offending human, on the other hand, is not an exact science. God... I've defended microsoft. Fuckin kill me... It pains me to defend Microsoft… but, realistically, there’s really no way to insure that a hacked xbox can’t be used to seriously cheat.
