That is not how it works. They are basically enabling a security check on the biggest online games out there. The check is done by calculating something from how the game is pressed/burnt. Bootleg discs will look differently than retail games and therefore won't boot.
BUT...

Yeah, if Microsoft are capable of identifying and locking out hackers, why not lock them out from everything?

From my limited understanding...not all games can do the new security check...but there are some that can but they have not been enabled to do so yet. Also, not all drives can support the new check.
You have to also understand that the most that they can do is ban people from Live. So why not go after the people playing the most popular titles on Live? Maybe it is not worth the effort to go after Joe Schmoe Pirate playing a single player game...because he is just going to keep playing it offline.

At first I thought that "new" gamercard was just one of those random website creation ones, it looks a bit iffy to me, removal of zone is welcome as it was completely pointless from day 1, never helped with matchmaking and even then people would abuse it and enter the family list just to steam roll people.
Xbox brand going back to black more then ever, I like the matte white xboxes

Sorry but the Halo Reach match making system puts me to sleep.
Select Big Team Battle
"3 choices of maps appear"
people vote for another another 3 choices to appear
"3 choices of maps appear"
the voting is close but "two flags on Hemmorhage" wins
"the game is finally about to start then two guys on my team quit"
waiting for the game to decide a new server
now I have a 15 minute round timer and my team is down two teammates
Very underwhelming.

This talk of bans reminded me that I hadn't checked the account suspension Xbox.com forum in awhile. Always good for a laugh or two on a slow day.

My post was in reference to Brimstone and his notorious Shadowrun reputation. Still one of the funniest times I've been part of GAF.

I like to stare at my Avatar for a few seconds before I start a game.
Wow. Never even realized that was a bug. I set my system to directly boot the disc since most of the time all I play is SSF4. In the event that I want it to boot to the dashboard instead, I just turn the system on with the eject button instead of power. Figured my settings got reset after the last update and was too lazy to change em back.
I too only ever use the Boot to Dashboard option so I never even knew about this bug - as soon as the 360 goes on, it's always joining or starting a party chat, then going through the latest stuff to download - demos, XBLA games, etc.
And as always, I love reading about these stealth anti-pirate updates that catch so many off-guard.
These are nothing but the usual lying assholes that claim to not pirate/cheat when busted, and then shut up and never post again once the proof is brought out - always good for a laugh, especially when it happens with Halo Reach, and detailed, minute stats are put out on display for how and how much they cheated.

uhh i installed the update and played CODBLOPS on live just fine for a couple hours but in the middle of one game, my 360 froze. i rebooted it once and it seemed to work for a second but froze again. now, my xbox won't display video or play sound and no quadrants show up on the power button nor do any controllers get detected.
if my xbox is dead because of this update, i will shit...

My guess is that it had something to do with Kinect.
Glad to see the option back for people who want it. I'm definitely a boot to dash person though since I usually leave discs in the system.
Ok so that's what it is.
I'm surprised people even boot to disc in this day and age.
Have been booting to dash since the Dreamcast released. Although SOMETIMES with the Dreamcast I'd put the game in before turning it on.
But normally, I couldn't rememebr which save files were on which VMU, so I'd turn on empty, check the VMU, then put the game in.
But with the fully featured dashboards we have now, even on the portables, I'm surprised anyone boots straight into the game these days.

Am I imagining things, or did they add a bunch of DVD playback features that used to be enabled way back at launch?
Stuff like the ability to set a playback loop and other random features like being able to select subtitles in the menu overlay while the DVD is playing....
Am I crazy? I swear thats new.

I was trying to figure out what the update did, but couldn't figure it out. Then my avatar clothes were updating every time I wanted to customize today.
I'm just glad I found out that I could delete 0 Achievement games from my history!! Thanks to the video on the Inside Xbox tab.

Nothing has been banned yet. Burned copies of the most popular online games will not work anymore after the dash update.

Just means if you ever see anyone wearing the following t-shirt
Give em a pat on the back and then swiftly punch 'em in their avatar jeans.
A job well done.
