XBox Cheaters To Be Spanked

Cheating has always been a big part of video games. XBox players have been getting away with quite a bit lately, but a new plan may thwart many of them.
Better watch out, says Xbox Live’s Major Nelson, the well-known public face of Microsoft when it comes to all things Xbox. Starting today, Xbox is punishing Gamerscore cheaters with some pretty heavy penalties. If you’ve used a cheat on your account, better check it out to see if you’ve been affected. How will you know?
Well, your Gamerscore will be reset to zero. You won’t be able to regain any Achievement you previously unlocked (legitimately or otherwise), though you will be able to gain new Achievements. And your account will be permanently labeled as a cheater account (see blurry pic above for an example). At least you still get to keep your account.
It looks like cheating will become just a little bit more difficult on XBox.
