Was Your 360 Banned From Live Recently (after Oct 28th)? Options

[olas]

just to let everyone know, that if your going to hack your xbox you should start from scratch and read all the information about everything that needs to be done in order to get a perfect system hack and play un-noticed on live. in order to do that you have to flash the system exactly how it says in Legit Tutorials. Next you need to buy HIGH QUALITY VERBATIM DL Discs FROM SINGAPORE ONLY!! i must stress on that point and i tell everyone i know with a hacked 360 that they must burn games onto VERBATIM DL FROM SINGAPORE. you can check for yourself on cdfreaks and see they have the lowest errors and they read the best and burn the best etc... cehck it out.
to end this reply i will say that i personally know 3 ppl whos consoles have just been banned today (Nov 6) and they all were using games burn with bad discs. they wernt verbatims and everyone else i know who plays with hacked systems uses verbatims and are all fine... so far. but as far as i can tell, its the discs causing the problems and microsoft can detect that there are errors when reading the disc and loading the disc when playing. not big enough errors to stop it from working but big enough for them to notice if watching your console. i was just in a party playing with 2 other hacked systrem and 1 got banned and he was useing bad discs. also known as a bad burn. sojust watch it and always use abgx. dont play wave 4 games yet its way to risky. but that is my opinion. so do what you want but my suggestion is buy good discs.

The funny thing is I wasn't banned until i played a new game I bought. Got Guitar Hero World Tour(came with guitar) and then I wake up the next day banned, after the FM3 and Borderlands bans, THIS is how they catch me? LOL

I have modded two of my friends boxes the last month, and mine has been modded for a year now, and we all burn our games on 2.4x burn speed with Verbatim DL dvds + abgx. None of us has been banned so far. Even played Forza 3 early. So bad disks may be the reason MS can detect modded boxes.

I have a mate that was banned from Xbox Live and people who saying you HDD is messed up after isnt true his is still working fine on other consoles just not the one that is banned i hope this helps some people out.

My HDD was on 2 Consoles that got banned while my HD and GT was attached, i removed the HD immediately in both cases "Not Playing anymore on the banned" I move my HDD to a new console all my data are safe "save Files" all Profiles nothing is corrupted. The moment you start saving on the banned console this is where your data will be corrupted. Mainly Save files

Might want to add banned for having a drive switch out. Meaning just spoofed the keys on a new drive. I've already seen 3 of these!

In the politest way BULL **** m8

proven that they are good because they are expensive !! i think not 4x disks and x4 bad burns

i use Arita RITEK disks - 100% valid without errors and ive been using em for 2 . 5 years yet to bad !!

i use 1.6 Liteon and BenQ 1.61 = no ban
m8 = liteon 1.6 BANNED mid conversation about being banned go figure !!

a pattern emerging also is that all the older flashed consoles seem to be faring better hence less hitachi and sammy drives more liteon and benq that have been done in last few weeks

could be the updates we recieved that said we didnt have anything new "skyplayer" setups

also heard of this your hdd id is also tagged along with your gamertag to aid in identifying new console with same gamertag / hdd combination.

quite an old post about changing the ket on hdd when changing out the chip that holds the info they used to ban your console their end. cant remember exact but was summat like the bios style chipset on the board and drive

Yeah just got banned don't play online game I use a normal account to play games then use xbox live account to watch netflix , i just put it backup of halo2 , koren drive copy , all games are abgx and no early game play liteon 1.6

I've got a Halo3 edition with a BenQ + 1.6 fw. Havent turned it on for about 3-4 days now because of the scare. Also unplugged my wireless adapter just in case.

I'm just kind of curious to find out if I have been banned or not. Always verified twice, thrice, quad times through abgx, and used verbatim discs at 2.4x; never played early, no hdd mods.

The only reason is that for 59.99$ a year for XBL, and the main reason for using XBL is to download game updates and a few XBLA games + GH/RB downloads, just seems pointless. Rarely do I play online, and if I do there is always XLink Kai, XBConnect, or my ps3.

In reality, M$ banning consoles won't stop people from pirating their software. Everybody will keep downloading them and burning them regardless. But I'm sure they will stand to make a fuck-lot of more cash because of a system ban and people going out to buy a system for X amount of money plus another live account for X amount of money.

Just my take, I don't play a lot, if any games multiplayer. None of my friends locally have a 360

I got the first Elite Edition, Not sure what kind of drive. Im sure im running on 1.6 fw. I havent went online in awhile, I think about a week.

I recently played

MW2 (Not Online Yet)

Halo ODST(Checked, Varified, and Passed) Not Online Yet

Both Played with HDD, I played with my main account offline with ODST, and made 1 offline dummy account for MW2.

1.)Im also skeptical, and ify about going online, I dont wanna be banned. So im just gonna just wait and see what happens, im sure things will be alot clearer on Nov 10.

2.)
a.)One thing im afraid of, is turning on my 360 and just like that im banned. So before I go online, I will remove all information from my HDD that has to do with MW2, accounts, save data, and etc...

b.) Another thing im gonna do is what another reccomended me to do. Which is play a bunch of varified safe games in order to clear MW2 from the NANDchip.

Thats really all I can do..

As of 5:30pm I have not been banned after putting my console online and downloading a few videos from the video ... tube... thing... whatever..

Played a bit of Zombie Apocalypse demo and idled for a while without and dvd in the drive, and I was still online when I disconnected.

So.. I don't know. It may be a matter of time for me

ok well you are very lucky for having such good burns with ritek as they are junk and very cheap discs. maybe they have made them better now but i know that 2 years ago when i first flashed my xbox i did alot of research and verbatims arnt just called the best because of price lol. look it up for yourself. also if your getting games for free, why cheap out even more and get bad discs. pay the price of 1 game and get 20 discs. its worth it isnt it? if your console wasnt hacked. you would have bought that game that your about to burn, correct? its all in your own opinion and mine is that i swear by verbs. i swear by my pioneer DL burner. i use abgx and i burn slow and verify my burn afterwards. not all ppl take the time to do that. im not risking it because i play online everyday.

also just to add that the discs dont seem to be the problem for getting banned. im just saying that i prefer verbs.

today i found out that 2 more ppl i know have been banned. they were useing verbatim discs. so that rules that out. they both had hitachi drives but i am also on a hitachi drive and did not get banned yet. they have all played different games and the only game we have all played is borderlands. there are only 6 more ppl i know with hacked consoles and we have not been banned yet.

all have hitachi except 2 they have benq so we will see lol. i servived the last few ban waves but this time it seems like they have more then 1 hammer swinging

Like Stewie once said "Your my eyes Goose"

Have you played the MW2 offline w/ hard drive? (ON A DUMMY ACCOUNT)
