Microsoft Responds To 360 Hackers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-off-my-lawn dept.

Microsoft would like to remind you that hacking your console most definitely voids your warranty. From the Eurogamer article: "Modified consoles, Microsoft added, 'will not be eligible for technical support, and the user's warranty will be voided ... the protection of intellectual property rights is a high priority for Microsoft and our partners, one that significantly and positively impacts economic growth, technological innovation, and most importantly, the confidence of customers who count on the integrity and quality of their products.'"

    You know this probably wouldn't be happening right now, if it weren't for that damn Sony rootkit.

    Remember, the reason Draino has "Do not drink" on the label is because someone did. By definition, half of all people are below average intelligence.

    Oh noes!!!!1111eleven You mean that if someone mods their XBox360, they won't get a free power cord when their power supply starts a fire?

    I really can't think of any other reason that anyone capable of modding a console would want out of Microsoft's tech support.

    Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.

    Being in a room with the Harlem Globetrotters doesn't affect this assertion.

    Why do people say "could of" when they mean "could have" ?

    When I start my own country, I'll make bad grammar and spelling capital offences.
