I finally updated aswell seeing as its been over 48 hours now. If they still ban my 360 then I'll just get a Core.

Thats the way it goes I suppose, but when you think about it MS are taking an even greater hit when I buy ANOTHER of their subsidised consoles to play the same copies of games as the first console, they lose a console and gain no game sales by banning my first one. unsure.gif


And it would be better for them to let you keep using your first system and still not gain any game sales?

Yes because they make a loss on the hardware.

Lets get a few things clear here.

1) MS dont give a rats ass about cheaters. Only Money!

2) They do make a profit on evey xbox sold (hardware wise)

3) They invest a lot of money in helping developers code games.

4) Its in MSs intrest that the software developers continue to develop and sell games.

5) They will be able to detect the new firmware.

6) They will ban you as soon as they can.

Thats how it is - get over it!

I've been onboard with the "Data Harvest" theory from day 1. I think MS$ will put code in place to track hacked consoles, in a multitude of ways, then 1 day start banning them based on information they collect during the harvest. They can even use this harvested data to determine the best way to thwart the hack. (Remember the HDD Marriage situation on Xbox1?)...

We might not see the true effects (if they exist) that this dash update could have on the hacked firmware for Months, unfortunately wink.gif


i couldn't have said it any better smile.gif

This hack isn't hard! I'm 11 years old and I got it!

I'm 14 and I figured it out, it did however take me like 2 weeks :-P. (1 week being scared to open the case, 6 days finding someone with a SATA port, and 1 day installing the mod. wink.gif

Well, 360 wise, they are losing like what - $200 per console sold?
