Huh? When is modded NOT better than the default? Why would you even do it otherwise? The issue is that modding/hacking is questionably legal and often dangerous for your console or its software (whether by the mod/hack's nature or because of the host company actively bricking the changed consoles).

It's sad when modded < default

I thought that was the point. ;-) I know what you mean though, usually when tampering you give up some niceties.
