Microsoft warns: watch out for second hand modded consoles

It appears that XBOX 360 owners/victims of Microsoft’s recent XBOX Live mass banning are already trying to drop their now-worthless consoles. A dirty trick (taking advantage of clueless consumers) but unsurprisingly nonetheless. In response to the flooding of modified 360s available now on Craigslist, a Microsoft spokesperson told IGN:
“If you purchase a modified console second-hand, the warranty is not transferable and the purchaser assumes the risk for any previous modifications. If you purchase a console that has been previously banned, you will not be able to connect to LIVE.”
In other words, if you buy a used XBOX 360 and it turns out to have been previously banned, tough sh!t. But ew, you weren’t going to buy yourself a console on icky Craigslist anyway, were you? WERE YOU? Gross dude, gross.
