MS Ban Hammer - 10.30.09

i would love to see this been done i have heard and see it done on cable modems and it works on them

 

It's legit. It just means that the console that gets your id is banned and yours isnt. Just moving the ban from one console to another.

 

yeah but if you get a unbanned ip on your xbox will it work and have you seen anyones up and running doin this

 

I think gut swapping is illegal.

 

yes it is an i am not saying any one sould do it but so is copying cd, dvd, and yes xbox games even if you own the orignal

 

Just been banned..I was play rips ever since i got the console.I really wanted to play call of duty MW2 but my box can't play it with out using loader disc which i didn't want to touch.So i went to blockbuster abd rented a copy pop it in play for 2 days, today i'm playing all morning turn off box to eat turn it back on right now and i'm banned..sux..

 

I have been nailed by the hammer . Oh well will just have to get another 360 lol.

 

I'm reading loads of stories of people who haven't played in a while. Then they have a quick go on live, turn it off, come back later and they're banned.

Sounds like if your not banned it's best to sit this wave out until it's safe to log on??

I'm so confused, don't have a clue what to do!!

I want to turn it on to check if I have been banned. If I haven't I was planning on getting a new console and just starting a fresh and being 'legal' But by the sounds of things if I log on to check I'm gonna get banned a few hours later! O_O

*headdesk*

 

Once your system is banned, its banned. Even if you keep it off for the next month, the second you put it on you will get the ban notice. Best to just never plug it into live again if you want to keep the other features of the machine.

 

I'm curious - with MS having put in the option to rip the games off of the discs to the hard drive anyway, what other point is there to modding your console besides wanting to pirate games?

Granted, I know nothing about the 360 modding scene, but from what (little) I've read, it seems like the extent of mods is usually only to allow you to swap DVD/hard drives and/or play backups (either from the hard drive or from a burned DVD).

Correct me if I'm wrong, though. I just think that it's a bit pointless of the pirates here (as opposed to the actual modders) to complain about MS banning them when they were being stupid and dishonest in the first place. That's like complaining that the cops caught you robbing a convenience store.

 

If you want to know without losing your HD and all that call them and they ask for your Serial numbers and look them up on the blacklist if they say they can't help you then you know you can never logon again without losing your HD.

 

I've been banned... All my burns are verified 100% and I flashed the drive with an external power source and never played a pre-released game. Newest I've played was Forza 3, 5-6 days after launch for 3h max, only online being the storefront.

Either ABGX screws things up or the firmware is detectable, my bet is on the firmware.

 

I have a question about gamertags and using only 1 HDD for a new box and a banned box. If I play with a different GT on the banned box and switch back to my LIVE GT on the new box using the same HDD, the GT's should stay uncorrupted, right?

 

well my 2 consoles got banned 2day,i still have my son's to go with since,it hasnt gone online since march,

 

I need to call microsoft to see if my system has been banned. What should I tell them before giving them my serial number? What is the most common reason repair problem why people call in to tech support?

Thanks

 

3 red rings, most probably! :|

 

Even if you don't play on the gamertag, as soon as you connect that drive to the banned box, all profiles on it will become corrupted, and have to be recovered from Live.

 

Just been band today from uk seems its started to hit the uk harder the last few days.
