Here is my 2 cents. You dont have to agree with it. Personally I dont approve of XBOX anyway. 1st off if you buy a product like XBOX then it is your do to it as you wish. If I buy a home PC I can mod the crap out of it anyway I wish with out being blocked from internet access. So why should MS be allowed to block a customer from opening their XBOX which is the customers property to do as they wish??? Its called BS garbage to force the customers to pay them to work on it. You dont see that with the PS3. I dont know about the PS4s so I cant say anything about them. I also find it BS that we already pay for internet service through our ISPs yet we are forced once again to pay to access the internet through our XBOXs and now the PS4s. While I dont like those who have to hack and cheat to play a game online just to massage their personal egos, It is their system and their responsability to play fairly. If they choose to not play fair, then you dont play with them. There is no laws against modifing our systems the way we want, its called over privilaged people like Gates who want to control everything. Just like our government right now. All the sheep are being lead to slaught and they dont have the first dang clue about how badly they need to free themselves. If I buy a product, then it is mine to do with as I wish. If I want to copy it, modify it, duplicate it, etc then that is my freedom to do so with out fear of persecution by gold spoon morons who think they control the world beneath our feet.

So if you dont like cheaters then dont play with them. Make their names down and avoid them. Its really that simple.
