Meh, old news. Contravention of the EULA always lands you in trouble.

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.

lawl, lets hope this gets all those who got MW2 before everyone else


Karma...


OH GOD! *EDIT*
Check this out:
Affected gamers were met with a message during the login process. It read: "Your console has been banned from Xbox"

HAHAHA just imagine turning on your PC to have it say "Your PC has been banned from the PC" hahahahaaa.... maybe it actually says "Xbox Live" and was just a typo by the news


What a twat!

He admits to pirating, and then goes off on how "expensive" games are, he has a job, and says 16 year old dont have that money... Get a life or wait til you have money for games... pathetic

It's[getting banned from Xbox Live] like telling someone their dog's just died.
Yeah, except your dog wasn't stealing hundreds/thousands of dollars from various game companies when it was banned from life...
