p2pnet news view P2P | Games:- A Texas law firm hopes some XBox modders may want to express their discontent with Microsoft in the form of a class action.

Steve and the Boyz nailed hundreds of thousands of Xbox Live enthusiasts for modding their consoles.

Or as Spong summed it up when the news broke, “Xbox Live Gamer Culling Season Starts”.

Now AbingtonIP firm is launching a class-action suit against Microsoft over the ban, says TG Daily.

“Although modification of Xbox consoles is arguably against the terms of use for Xbox/Xbox Live, Microsoft ‘conveniently’ timed the Xbox console ban to coincide with the release of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game and less than two months after the release of the very popular Halo 3: ODST game,” the story has the firm saying.

Microsoft also “misapplied the ban, locking out users who had modified their Xboxes for reasons other than piracy,” as well as “obtaining information from Xbox consoles without the permission of the owner, it claims,” it says, adding the firm is recruiting,  “looking for people who have had their Xbox banned from Xbox Live and who haven’t been given a refund for their remaining subscription”.
