Mod Your Xbox 360 Console: Get Banned from Xbox Live

Gamers love to Mod their computers and game consoles for fun and improved performance, but one brand we all know called Microsoft has decided enough is enough and it has been reported that they are banning people from Xbox Live who have modified their Xbox 360.
We do understand part of the reason why Microsoft would want to do this as it then keeps a much more fairer gaming environment, could you imagine if all games could use game cheats on online multiplayer games it would just be unfair and impossible to win for some players.
The main reason most gamers have been wanting to mod the Xbox 360 of late has been to get an advantage over their online competition and with Xbox Live being one of the biggest and busiest online gaming services players want to have a better advantage to get more points.
This topic is more important than ever to Microsoft because of the recent release of the Halo 3 beta and Microsoft want all players to start equal and we cannot blame them.
If you mod your 360 and try and log into Xbox live you will get an error code (Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D).

The people who mod specifically to cheat are very small percentage of the modding community.
Wow, you have no idea what you’re talking about. The main reason people have modded their xbox 360 is to play copies/backup games. How is playing a duplicate game going to allow someone to cheat? It couldn’t. Maybe try do research into a story instead of rehashing press releases.
There are many different reasons why someone would want to mod their system. movies in almost any format, backup games, emulators and you can also cheat. You can edit Hex code in games to make yourself invincible, jump higher, have unlimited ammo and much more. Kind of like Game Genie was to Nintendo back in the day. This is a very big reason why people should be banned from live with modded Xboxs.
It’s a shame. The PSP has a large modding community and there have been many fun programs designed for those who have a homebrew enabled psp. Everything from universal remotes to creating custom soundtracks for all games to taking screenshots etc etc. Unfortunately this leads to a lot of cheating in online games and piracy.
If Microsoft didn’t do this, pirates hackers and cheaters would run amok on xbox live. But we miss out on the fun user made apps. It’s also loads of fun to use hacks in single player.
That’s why I adopted a gaming computer as well. A lot of user made stuff here.
