At which point your $400-1000 console goes tits up.
MS certainly knows how people got inside the original XBox and it seems EVERY 360 game, multiplayer or not, "reports" scores and achievements to Live.
Seems like a cool feature and all, but it could very well be some crafty social engineering.
Given Sony's recent rootkit debacle, it isn't too much of stretch to believe Uncle Bill had the boys put in a "phone home and tattle" capability.

This isn't finding something else to do with the console, it's finding something entertaining to do with it, period. There's only so much high-definition Shaq-sweat a man can watch before the novelty wears off.
