You gave those scoundrels at Microsoft your money, and are now surprised that
they behave like...
scoundrels?
The box was already chipped and keyed against /you/ when you bought it. That
doesn't sound like a good purchase decision - unless you are informed of the
nature and limitations this represents. It sounds like you have some idea
about this: You say 'it /finally/ happened'.
Xbox is spyware and a testbed for NGSCB/Palladium. They don't make enough
ten-foot-poles to keep this stuff away.
