Wow, just wow. So last night I got some beer and was going for a good old session of Call of Duty 4 on Xbox Live. What do I see when I try to login?

“This account is not allowed on Xbox Live”-ish message

Nice going Microsoft. I buy your games for like 40GBP each, and back them up just in case they get scratched (and they scratch EASILY!!!), so yeah, I do have a modded console. If it wasn’t for the backups, I wouldn’t be able to play Deadrising or Halo 3 anymore, because the original DVDs got SO overused they wouldn’t even boot, or they would only when the 360 is cold (don’t know the reason for that though).

And you know what? None of the stores I buy/rent games at ever want to swap (even with prepay) scratched DVDs, thus they become totally useless.

That’s it, I’m selling my 360 and getting a PS3. Sony has Warhawk that can be DOWNLOADED for American prices (as in dollars and not pounds), and would never get scratched. And it’s also free.

See you later, M$!
