MS should do the smart thing. Fix the loophole instead of wasting money and taking him to court, cause it won't stop others, they'll just be more discreet.

This guy will either,

1. Get a job with Microsoft (which I assume he is hoping for)
2. Get a cease and desist order
3. Get banned from Xbox Live
4. Taken to court

Don't worry, you can buy in bulk!

There is nothing Micosoft nor Bungie can do to this guy. other then ban him from Xbox Live.. If they been the Save swap people then he will get banned... I'll say it again, If it's Built by a Computer it can be hacked By a Computer.. This just shows that MS need to waste more money on there Protection departed.. Nice Job to this guy... Now we just need to find out how to read the Xbox 360 Motherboard Info...

7.1 - Time will tell
First off, I think this guy is a glow-in-the-dark douche bag.

To leak the acheivements and then try and strong arm MS and Bungie by using threats of further leaks is just silly. In addition, I really don't know what this dweeb is trying to accomplish. If he wanted to send a message he could have easily send MS or Bungie a message of his discovery without leaking them to the public.

He's just another pathetic attention whore begging to be seem by the public. I think MS will look into the legal system for a loophole of their own and (with the expensive lawyers) and then nail his dumb arse to the wall as an example for other that want to be a digital douche.

And if he get's his butt on halo3 with the armour ahead of time, he will definitely be banded for life.

Even though I hate Microsoft, this kid should be tied up, gagged, and thrown into an alleyway in Compton.

Kinda cool, but honestly you ruin it for everyone else. Bungie is a great developer who connects with their community, they make games for you to enjoy and then you treat them like shi+? Your not doing anything for the community except trying to show off. If you really want to be productive take down the government or something, don't ruin our fun.

What a lamer and yes you did directly break the TOS by modifying your profile and then connecting to Live.

I hope MS and Bungie make an example out of this person. He can't really expose any more achievements if he is bound by a court order. After that he can do all his hacking with a dull rock in a jail cell.

Thank you for ruining some of the surprises in ODST for people.

Come on MS and Bungie the non-hackers and people who maintain the integrity of your service and pay for it want some justice! We want to know we are in a safe and in a hacker free environment. Banning him will not be enough, he will just find a way around it and you can see from his own words that is his intent. You need to step it up and your paying customers demand it.

Seriously? You're going to make threats against Microsoft?? A company that has a basically unlimited money supply, and would not hesitate to drop millions in court to squash some annoying punk? HA.

Make an example out of him, MS!

18 - ODST Achieves
I really can't believe how hard one of the Vidmaster achievements is - doing a level on legendary without firing a single shot or grenade!!

That's tough!!
