Xbox 'mod' chip gets killed off

One of the companies making Xbox "mod chips"--add-on components that modify the game machine so it can run illegally copied discs and homemade software--has gone out of business, possibly because of legal pressure from Microsoft.
The information site for Enigmah-X, the second Xbox mod chip to go into commercial circulation, was replaced late Tuesday with a brief message: "After speaking to lawyers we feel that we must not do this project anymore. There are many other chips and methods for guys to play with anyway so have fun and good luck to everyone out there."
While mod chips allow illegally copied games to run on the Xbox, hackers say their interests fall on the right side of the law. Most hacker sites forbid distribution or discussion of illegally copied games, instead focusing on using mod chips to run homebrew software on the Xbox.
Well Microsoft was not going to allow this to happen. I sure something else will come out soon. In the mean time I sure people are just going to enjoy using it for what it was designed for "GAMES!"

I hope they realize when killing mod chips you piss consumers off who might buy a couple games but also bootleg a couple !
Just remember you can always get what you need in the world just gotta look for it

i doubt MS is concerned over the 5 thieves they will anger over protecting the majority of their customers from losers.
