Not surprising but this bothers me somewhat. My dvd drive is broken and if the replacement laser doesnt work, im gonna have to replace the whole dvd drive and that involves "something" that microsoft might count as modding when I sure as hell have no intentions of pirating anything.
We'll just have to see then

Why not just send it in to be fixed, I doubt it would be that much more then what drives are going for and I think they give you another warranty after they do any repairs

1. Im out of warranty
2. Warranty sticker is void (well that was a given
)
3. If they think they can charge me $140 to fix something easy, I dont think so

In regards to this and people that bought content from Live. There have been reports that those that upgraded to the 120GB lost the right to watch their videos and play their downloaded games unless they were signed into Live. And in the case of videos they couldn´t even watch those even if they were signed in.
Lets say someone modded his xbox and bought a 120gb drive, where would he stand legally if the things he purchased couldn´t be played anymore because of this lockout?

he screwed himself
to be clear... "banning modders" is to stop the MP game cheaters and pirates from playing on LIVE, not stop innocent people form getting what's theirs.
I agree.
HALO brings out the worst cheaters on LIVE so this timing seems just right for a new update (H3 beta) to what may be a moving target.
Yeah I think this was also done with the XBOX1
Some text to go along with those?
What the? Why does it look like something melted in there?
IIRC, a year ago, a firmware update melted a lot of 360s with mod chip installed. At least, a significative amount of users complained about that all over the net.
Highly unlikely scenario. IMHO.
Blame who complained about that, not me. The fishy update is the Fall 2006 one. You can still find articles and dig forum threads about it. Whether the cause was the update rather than a batch of faulty 360 or just plain FUD or not, I can't really say
All they'd need to do is tell it not to turn itself off when it overheats.
