NOVEMBER 2008 BAN WAVE !!! - no posts of "Oh POOR ME I'M BANNED", Stop it already, just the facts

In my opinion all of them

the best way is to rip them youself, there alot safer

 

so what if I find a torret with like 1000 downloaders. doesn't that suggest it works?

 

it might work but might not be safe

 

best bet is to scan the iso with abgx 360 gui (google will find it and a search of this site will reveal the post i made when stuck on how to use it, which the good people here showed how)

of course ripping them your self is the best bet for 90% safety (theres never gonna be 100% safety hell we should all realise how lucky we are to have live as it is on modded consoles) C4eva should be made a saint in my opinion

 

seeing that I don't plan to go live any time soon, what's the worst that could happen if I download and play a bad torret?

 

also, I don't wanna download a torret just to find out it doesn't work. is there any way to tell if it works before downloading it?

 

sadly there is a wealth of information that 360`s are highly likely to store info of bad games on the console so when you do go on live you will be flagged for a ban at the next ban hammer

on the plus side abgx 360 gui actually fixes the isos to be as near to retail as possible (if a retail version exists in its database) and its not a long process either as i say search the boards for info on it

of course this wont save you from fake uploads etc which is why i use giganews sabnzbd+ and newzbin (newsgroups basicly) this costs money but is fast (dont ask how to do that in this thread though as thats a bit oftopic i only include it in the reply as its intopic to your reply (its been a long shift ! and im sense not making))

 

have read every page and it started out well, but some people are hoping for a one line answer, doesnt exist i am afraid read through and if you have half a brain draw up your own conclusion based on common sense. as for the people moaning about getting banned with modded consoles i am afraid you knew the risk when you had it modded that this would happen i suppose the only people who have a right to moan is those without a modded console and havent done anything to breach the t&c.

 

Sorry what is torret do you mean torrent if so read the comments other people have left telling of their experience, you should always look for a region free.

 

It's so funny how losers like guessswho think they are so much better than everyone else because they are addicts or senior members, those titles just show you have no life and live for posting on here.

 

are people here still getting banned from the new NXE?have the ban wave stopped yet.. i heard alot of rumors saying that microsoft detects our modded xbox 360 by detecting the backups games.. okay do u guys have any suggestion what type of torrent i should avoid or group of people that makes the backups.

 

One release group for sure you should avoid is seed4me

 

I have a newbie question. Is there a 100% chance of getting banned sooner or later if you play xbox live with a chipped console? I mean are some people getting away with it? Is it just bad luck.

 

Yes. You WILL get banned, it's just a matter of when. Making sure your copies are properly stealthed definitely helps, but there is no such thing as a perfect copy, and because of that Microsoft will catch you eventually.

 

well i dont know for torrents but i know that in newsgroups on the nfo's it details what stealth measures were taken on the game. its pretty cool. But u still need to take heed from what has been said which is to always check with dvdmulleter etc etc.

 

I always checked with DVDMulleter and never played online before release date, still got banned, I deserved it & I've still got hundreds of games to play single player...move on.

Microsoft know what their doing, it's only very stupid people who think MS are stupid. Truth is we aren't any closer to a fix since the last ban wave, could be the firmware, could be the disc speed, could be anything. We need to hear more from the Hammer Dodgers out there, what are their practices?

(And we need to hear LESS from inarticulate noobs asking about 100% ways to *insert obvious question about foolproof methods here*

 

Hi, been a lurker here for a while, but wanted to post.

I had my xbox modded with the extreme 1.4 mod about 2-2.5 weeks before XNE came out. after i got it modded i never played online because i was busy and did not have much time to play. I played saints row 2 for 20 minutes just to see if my back ups worked, it was retail and played it after the release date, but i was not plugged into the internet.

I got on my xbox to download XNE and it downloaded and installed fine, i check every couple of days to see if i get banned and as of today I have not...but...

I have not played any games, backup or real games since the last time i played saints row 2, and have only checked to see if i could get online or if i was banned.

Don't know if this means anything to anybody.

 

what if i buy the original games to play on xbox 360 lives and then when playing backups i unplug my ethernet cable,, will i still get banned from playing original xbox 360 games online?

 

no i got 2 modded xbox: 1 that banned 1 week before the update with this xbox i was playing all the game on live gow2 fallout3.... before the release date. my other one only play back up without being connected to live im playing gow 2 original and im still not banned

 

Well it looks like the ban wave has sort of come to an end, at least on a few other forums this is what it looks like

chances of a ban still exist.. always will

but as for the mass bannings, they seem to be done.. for now
