Exactly how a ban affects your console

Sweet! Looks like i'll be playing on XBConnect.com again like the good old days. Its not Live but its still fun and its free!

 

Good luck. Let us know if you get it working properly.

 

so, the above theory works?

Also, what if you were to get a new xbox and hdd, and recover your gamertag. Does it re-download/remember your game saves? Or do you lose all gamesaves, but keep your achievments?

 

microsoft keeps track of achievements, your hdd keeps your game saves. Also yes recovering yur gamertag restores yur saves if yur were banned.

 

right, but if microsoft only keeps track of achievments, where does the games saves come from? If you hdd is currupt or something, and you cant use the transfer cable.

or can you use the same hdd from the banned consul, and put it on the new xbox(unbanned/unmodded) and recover your gamertag/score/games saves etc.

 

No the HD from the banned console will no longer be currupted and since you delete the profile but not this saves before it synic with MS your go to go. I would do it asap as they may update so this workaround is closed.

 

okay, thanks for the help. Ill do it tonight from my buddies unmodded/unbanned xbox

 

I posted this on the main Ban thread, let me try here since its more of a specific question.

 

Your achievements are tied to your gamertag. When you go online to XBox Live, they show up on your recovered gamertag. But, since you cannot go online to XBox live with a banned console, you cannot earn achievements on that banned console.

You can get access to your saved games by transferring the saved games to an unbanned console.

Still don't understand why people risk connecting their modded boxes to Xbox live... Its been a major risk for modded boxes since 2003. Anyone who was modding on the original boxes would tell you to turn off XBL when you wanted to run modded.

Personally... I have 2 consoles, 1 modded, 1 not modded. When I want co-op play, I buy the game and use my un-modded box. Its those games that only have 30 hours of non-coop play that kill me. Those are what a modded box is best used for.

Take your brick and sell it on ebay, then get another. Make sure whomever you sell it to completely understands that it cannot connect to XBL anymore, but that it still can be used to play backed-up offline disks. You may get half the value of your new box.

I can see a few thousand modded bricks with ixtreme, and blaster NE for around $100 hitting ebay real soon.

 

My modded box isnt banned and i dont plan on going on XBL anytime soon, thats why im able to swap back and forth the HDD. But will my achievement swap along with it?

 

I have all my save data and profile on a Memory Card. I recently got banned and I've only played one game since the banning and got a few achievements. I was wondering, can I just put my Memory Card in an unbanned, modded 360 and continue to play offline to get achievement points and recover my Gamertag in a friends unmodded/unbanned 360 to update my score on Live?

 

My console was banned a couple of days ago....my question is it looks like my Oblivion save game is not recognising all the marketplace content I have downloaded from Live.....Does this mean I cant access all this stuff ever again?

Banned in NOV. Ran the utility to uncorrupt profile and saved games. Able to play my saves in Mass Effect 1. When trying to import those games in Mass Effect 2, they don't show up =(
