wow I would try to find the guy and buy one cheap
Yeah then you go online and connect to live and have the po pos knocking on your door a few days later. Brilliant there Einstein.
idiot how would the cops track down an xbox from xbl?
Real simple. MAC Address -> IP Address -> ISP -> You.
how exactly will the cops know you're on a stolen xbox?
Microsoft should know what are the serials on that shipment.
You know every XBox 360 is tagged, right? How do you think they identify which hacked boxes to blacklist from live?
The police would have a hard time arrest individuals who buy it, especially if these robbers slowly sell this off a place like craigslist.
it doesnt matter they will catch the end users who is in posession of stolen property, each console has a serial and when a console phones home this is sent to the live servers as well as the ip address. Its basically like gps to your doorstep. If you don't think Microsoft is gonna come after these stolen 360's then please give me some of those drugs you are on.
The only thing the police has to do is knock on a door and ask who they bought the console from. This is stuff that happens all the time when they're catching crooks selling stolen on ebay.
This particular case is like trying to get rid of marked bills.
