It looks like
Microsoft has finally taken a stance against people who mod their consoles and cheat
on Xbox Live. If you are using a modified Xbox 360,
think twice before trying out the Halo 3 beta (or any other game) today. If you have a modded system, and somehow think this gives you the right to play on XBOX Live among legit users with non-hacked systems and no cheats installed,
you might want to think twice before turning on your 360 today. You might just
be greeted with this (see picture). No warnings, no excuses. If a mod is
detected, your console is blocked from being able to connect to Xbox Live for
good.
