Headset [edit]

The headset Xbox Live enables communication with other players who are in the same game. It can therefore develop strategies with his team or destabilize its opponents causing them (be careful not to violate the terms of use, insults can lead to exile). The helmet may, if desired, distorting the voice, the possibilities are quite varied. It is also possible to turn off the headset, for example, if you want to talk to someone who is next without having to agree in part on Xbox Live. The helmet is placed over the head and is suitable for both right or left-handed because you can put the microphone on the side you want. A cord leading from the microphone should also be plugged into the slot provided for this purpose on the joystick used to play. An adapter is at the end of the cord.

(The headset can also be used in some games like Rainbow Six 3 to communicate in a game without being connected to Live. In the game city, on for example, can give orders to teammates managed by the virtual console, thanks a voice recognition system).

Banishment [edit]

Since late 2004, Microsoft conducts regular banner [1], ie the exclusion of certain consoles Xbox Xbox Live network. Consoles covered by these exclusions are those who have been physically modified or whose internal drive has been changed. The purpose of these amendments is to allow the execution of a game from a DVD other than the original, allowing piracy of games [2].

The first waves of banishments received a strong echo of protest on the Internet and the blogosphere [3], some people claiming to have modified their console just to make backup copies of their games and avoid the wear of original support. [ 4]

The question of the method used by Microsoft to detect modified consoles is always discussed on the Web. The most widespread [ref. needed] is that the players are banned if found to play a game before its release date - which means that the game was not legally acquired.
