but its better than taking no action at all
india wont be affected much but it doesn't matter for MS cos its still a small market for console gaming.

ya i agree with u man that it is better to do somethin than nothing, atleast ms consider india as a big potential for their marketing of 360 and have officially launched 360 in india unlike sony who r so obsessed with giants like usa and europe that they dont even consider india as a gaming nation and neglects us as bunch of low lives, but they have forgotten that the root cause of piracy orignated frm non other than their own fukin southeast asia, and they consider us low standard for affording their mighty $600 colossus named as ps3, get a life sony we r much better when it comes to gaming and we can kick ass of ur reliable gold miners of usa and europe(frm whom u encash loads of dollors and euros) in online gaming, improve ur marketing stratigies and shed off ur lame ego or u will be left behind by others, i dont hold any grudge for sony products it's just their lame marketing approch that is hurting their fan base, do something abt it sony. peace

well, the ps3 is worth more, coz it also gives u a lot more...!! so, i dont mind paying extra if i want a 60 gb hdd, bluray player, etc....but rite now i dont want these things, so im happy with my 360...u cant blame sony....they have a good console also in some ways...
anyways, getting back to the topic - i agree tht many ppl who are using modded consoles knew tht this cud happen....but the thing is before buying the 360, u cant know how important xbl is to the gaming experience....its only after u buy it and play on xbl tht u realise it.....so those who are addicted to xbl and own a modded console will def sell their old console and buy a new original one....hence sales would inc....also, new ppl will also go for original coz they know tht they can be banned when they want to play on live...!!

most ppl buy modded consoles to play backups and i doubt that live will make them think otherwise.but as always there will be someone somehwere whos already working out on bypassing the new restrictions

dude simple matter of fact is that sony simply dumped the excess ps3 that was floating around the pal regions,if the ps3 had the demand of thre wii the indian launch would have not even happened

i'm happy if pirates grew out of control game developers wudn't make games anymore and why shud some modders be able to play for free (effectively) while i pay rs.2500?
