MS Banning Consoles

The problem with the no DVD drive theory is that you can try to fix RROD with the DVD drive out and providing power. I wonder how they would be able to tell I was flashing the drive versus trying to over heat the unit?

Good Point.

Man, not sure if I should turn my 360 on tonight or not

Yeah bro, same here i just found out my cousins got console banned, hes been purchasing the backedup games from this guy who sells them dirt cheap. And well long story short he was playing smackdown the new game and during this time he was console banned.

I myself get my own backups and verify them twice before i burn them, then i play them on my offline account, i only went online with my brothers gamertag and play gears 2 online.

Im well scared to put it on right now after hearing all this news about this console banning, if it were gamertag banning then i wouldnt mind much....

How about when playing a game earlier, disconnect from xbox live

set the date on your 360 to the release date of the game, so when the game finally comes out you can go online and any data regarding said game will be time stampted the day of release

but dont ever connect to live until the game comes out or it will automatically correct the date on the sytem

That's a very interesting concept... I never thought of that. We still don't know if playing a game early is the reason people are getting banned, but your technique couldn't hurt. One other problem with playing a game early is that it can't be verified with ABGX360 since they don't verify games until they're released.

Well add me to the list of banned consoles! Last game played was Forza, game was stealth patched with abgx. Running ixtreme 1.51 Hitachi. Never played any games before release date. Always double checked stealth with agbx before playing.

One question, it says my console was banned, didn't say anything about my profile. Might be a stupid question but can I throw my profile on a non-modded system and still be able connect to xbox live or should I just make a new account?

My Freind got banned from live

[geekinator2000]

Yes, you will be able to transfer your account to a new Xbox and even bring your hard drive with you. The only thing thats banned is your Console ID.

Well we all know that there is always a risk no matter how safe you try to be, I guess since I'm already banned I have nothing to lose in playin COD MW2 early....no sleep for me tonight

i flashed 1.61 to my benq when it was released i have a ck3 lite kit but didnt use it since i didnt really need it with the benq i only have it so i can flash my other console witch is a lite on i have played mosted of the leaked games i can say the only game i havent played yet is mw2 on both systems i already paid off my new mw2 console package deal so if i get ban it really doesnt matter ive been thinking about playing it just to see if i get ban what do you guys think?

[Inny]

Flashed LiteOn -c in an Xbox Elite here. Used CK3 to power during flash process. Latest game I've been playing has been a verified Forza Motorsport 3, post-release. I'm not banned so far.

PS. Also never used an activate.iso disc. I'm wondering why I never read anything debating or explaining why this method ('one-shot boot mode') wouldn't be detectable? Anyone?
