You felt like you were too important to have to buy an official 360 hard drive, so yes you felt like you were better than everyone and that the rules did not apply to you. You circumvented the rules that everyone else has to follow.

Not buy a hard drive for the 360?

It'll be really fun when it's the only way to buy things... violate their TOS by insulting the wrong person in a Halo match and they kill your collection? This is cool?
As I have asked, are you not able to access your XBL account and redownload the games?

I have a bunch of stuff stored in a stolen car. If the car gets impounded would I feel bad about losing all that stuff? Yes, but I would have also known that eventually I would have been caught and been angry at no one but myself.
