So lets arrest all chip moders, then people will just do it for themselves.

I seen a thing about this on TV not to long ago, but wouldnt the DMCA also cover this?  I would think it would, and if it doesnt then it will soon change.  I'd never EVER buy an X-Cocks but i bet it sure bites MS's ass that ppl run Linux on it.

P.S. if they know how to use Linux and know its better, why arent the smart enough to not buy a Xbox?  Jesus I'd choose one of them K-Mart brand 8-bit controller/system before the X-Crotch

Siplus:
why? because the xbox has good hardware, and ms looses money everytime you buy one. they gain profit on the software.

so, if you can
1) make ms loose money
2) get good hardware cheap
3) run linux

i'd say it's a good deal : )

course, i'm never going to buy one, cause i already run linux on 2 computers...

Faust:
This "ms loses money every time you buy one" bit has made MS "threaten" to not make the xbox two (which is in rnd atm apparently...) in Australia.
Apparently because Australian law states that mod chips are fully legal little Billy has got the shits with us.
[sarcasm]"dear God! No!"[/sarcasm]

edit : what other company would be stupid enough to follow up an utter version one failure with version two so quikly?

well the sheeple will think "i paid for this xbox shit, they've made the xbox 2 so quickly, that must be to fix the mistakes". doing it so quickly is part of the marketing.

as for the australia thing, what a load of shit, that's what they get for screwing over those schools in victoria, people aren't as stupid as microsoft may think, also they forget australia isn't (quite) america,
