Microsoft banning modified Xbox 360 consoles on Xbox Live service
Microsoft has confirmed that they are now stopping the owners of modified Xbox 360 consoles to join their Xbox Live servers.
The company said in a statement: “One of the great things about LIVE and the unified community is that we work hard to create a level playing field for all gamers and have a no tolerance policy towards inappropriate behavior like hacking or cheating.”
It added: “As part of our commitment to our members, we do not allow people that we have detected to have modified their console to connect to LIVE. This is an important part of our efforts to try and maintain a fair gaming environment for the large majority of gamers that play by the rules.”
the company stated that the account holders would not have their accounts banned from the service. They just would not be able to connect to the service with modified consoles.
Microsoft added: “We have stated in the past that customers can only enjoy access to the Xbox LIVE community through the use of a genuine, unmodified, Xbox console and we will continue to enforce this rule to ensure the integrity of our service, the protection of our partners and the benefits of our users.”

So MS says “have a no tolerance policy towards inappropriate behavior like hacking or cheating” however the kernal is not broken and no hacking or cheating has been accomplished.. This is not stopping mods at all.
Lots of unmodified users geting caught up in the banhammer now also..
