Microsoft has released a mandatory update, with the key feature supposedly that it re-enables the option to play games straight from turning the system on.

However, it seems as though this was just a smoke screen as they attempt to battle against their own wave of modders, which constantly pirate games on their system.

Numerous users were reporting that following the update, modded copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo: Reach no longer worked as flashed firmware disc modifications were now blocked.
