| Something IRHP has missed here, in particular, is that when you bought the system you did not buy the right to connect it to the XBL network. To pay for and activate XBL, you have to agree to the TOS which are thrust in your face. So you basically haven't paid for anything before you agreed to their terms.
If anything, you should be angry at the modchip companies, etc, if they didn't inform you that there might be adverse results to modding your system. Chances are they did, though, and you ignored it.
Funny thing about the EULA and ToS contracts, most of us that skip them do so because we already know what kind of leverage the company has over us. If you didn't, that's a shame, but ignorance isn't an excuse in the US. |
