i have a PAL xbox360 that recently got banned, i believe for putting MW2 backup in my machine using a bootdisk/activation disk first.
never played it, just put it in.. offline mind you.. it isn't even in my recent games etc.. but yeah. banned.
that or my console was banned just now when i tried to play an original xbox game i backed up for my 360.
i backed up starwars battlefront 2, and the xbox read it correctly, but as i needed the backwards compatitble update i tried to sign into live and it said i was banned

so first question, could it have been either of those? or is it definitely the MW2 backup that got me banned.
but my main question is, aswell as my PAL360, i have an old NTSC-J 360 that has never been modded at all, nor played for a long time.
from what i gather here, that console could be my key to getting my PAL360 that is modded, unbanned....
is this correct?
and then, would i just avoid playing MW2 on my PAL360 until i get newer firmware to avoid a ban.

Aaron.
