While updates have become the standard for video games, most people saw this as a blessing, always bringing new functions, ensuring that their console had a longer shelf life. As the generation increased, many problems have arisen from them and soon began to become inconvenient. Now the latest update from Microsoft may be modified by disabling console.
According to the journalist Alex Rubens, his Xbox 360 stopped working, displaying an error message E66. When contacted the support service from Microsoft, the attendant explained that the code you were referring to the E66 console modified, and therefore would have violated the terms of service. The only problem is that he never changed his console.
Urging the clerk, saying she had never changed its Xbox 360, the journalist received the answer that they knew that the island would have been altered by methods that could not reveal, saying that if he insisted, could pay $ 100 to send console to the repair center and then they prove that he had been modified.
Microsoft denied that there was an update disabling modified consoles, saying, "You received incorrect information. We do not disallowed consoles. Just banish them from the [Xbox] Live. "
More bugs E66, however, are appearing on the part of users with islands without modification, while others with modified consoles, they're saying they did not have any problem with the update.
Modifications to the console actually goes against the game's terms of use, which makes the console banned from Xbox LIVE, because such changes and allow for the use of pirated games, would enable other adverse functions that may be harmful to others if allowed online, giving Microsoft all the necessary basis to justify removing the service console.
Recently another update, which prepares the system to receive a new media format, one crippled very small number of consoles, which Microsoft has offered to swap.
