Hacked Xbox 360 firmware prevents banning

In today's episode of tit-for-tat, hackers have blocked Microsoft's attempt to ban their modified consoles. Just two weeks ago remember, Microsoft began checking and then banning Xbox 360 consoles from Xbox Live if the Big M found the gear to be modified in violation of the Terms of Use. However, new firmware -- a tat if you will -- was just released by the lively (to say the least) modding community making hacked Xbox 360s invisible to Microsoft's snooping; if they can't see it, they can't ban it. Now come on Microsoft, show us your tit. Erm.
