all the modded Xboxs were recently permanently barred

http://tigerweekly.com/article/11-18-2009/13102

Last week, roughly 1 million Xbox Live users started up their Xbox 360s and discovered that their systems had been blacklisted due to terms of use violations. Specifically, users have been banned for modding their 360s in order to circumvent DRM protection, thus allowing the downloading and playing of illegally downloaded games.
"All consumers should know that piracy is illegal and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty, and result in a ban from Xbox Live," Microsoft said in a statement to Information Week.

but I'm assuming he means a modded controller which is different

Yeah Browntoa its the controller he wants, i would never let him mod his actual Xbox, Xbox consoles have enough problems without tampering with them...

Browntoa

modding the controller just makes it easier to play certian games

clancy

Thanks for the link to the website, i will use ebay as the person modifing them is in England and is around roughly £50 he also say's that the chip is untracable

clancy

Yeah he wants it to be able to shoot rapid fire in MW2 :rolleyes: lol

If they notice his tactics will they not click on and notice he is cheating, ergo, banned account? just a thought, unlikely though.

Thats what im worried about 4743hudsonj also once other people in the game realise i think they might report him, he assure's me that it wont happen & that his pals have Mod Controller's but im not really wanting to take the risk if i dont know more myself...

well my friends kids and his mate have just got banned completly for repeaedly setting up games between them and one playing crap so the other could win.

If they ban you for that, I'm sure once your son is reported, MS will keep an eye out on him and see his cheating becaus thats what it is, and they will ban him.

Maybe you should tell your son to stop degrading others online experience just because he's rubbish, im sure itll get on his nerves.:o

kaya

tell him that cheating is no way to conduct yourself in life and that honesty is the best policy(normally)

clancy

Haha yeah it is cheating but i didnt see it as anything other than getting more out of the guns he plays with.... You know what kids are like when they see others preformance using a Mod Controller they just want the same thing... Anyway thanks for your help guy's and i think i have decided not to purchase one for him
