If all these are true, and when the new iXTREME firmware does come out. We upgrade to the new firmware then connect to live, whats stopping M$ from using their previously collected data from the log and start banning the systems? Does the new firmware have a feature to block from the previous detection's banning?

No. The f/w can't stop you from getting a ban, it can only help prevent you from getting detected playing backups. If m$ choose to ban you they'll do it by banning your ConsoleID remotely, nothing at all to do with f/w.

quote from garyopa:

As for the "iXtreme", the TS drive version is under going private beta testing, and is looking good,
and the Hitachi drive is being finished up, and I trying to get the flashing finished for the Hitachi
and BenQ drives, and "c4eva" is helping out finishing the Hitachi now with others, and then the
BenQ drive is next, which is very much like the TS drive, so that will not take long.

If the TS fw is taking 2-3days already for the beta testers to evaluate, you best believe we wont see the hitachi fw out in the open, til next week.

To the couple of people who asked if MS has a 'profile' of how your currently hacked but unbanned drive is reporting now vs how it will report with the proper firmware; The answer to your question "Will I then get banned" is simply no one knows.

Personally, I think MS used every trick they had when the bannings started, or at least the ones they felt acceptable to use. That is, if MS is checking the response time then why not ban people for it right now ?

Perhaps they formulated a two stage assault ?  Perhaps they figured ok, we'll hit them for reasons A-D, then give them some time to react, then release the hounds on reasons D-Z. There by making an already fearful situation for some into a disaster.

I doubt they are that organized. From my experience with large projects at large companies the level of sharp attacks and organization diminishes greatly.


Its very possible that the legion of the unbanned (I'm a charter member myself) will get screwed updating to the newer-safer firmware. But, I think its unlikely.

Then again, I imagine it is fully possible for MS to send commands to your xbox via live asking to do things that were not included in the update... ie: new checks

I think it'll be fine. I'll wait while the tons of you that have no patience will hop on right away letting me know if its safe... So, it will be fine for me at least

If you're still not banned, i dont see any reason to not give iXtreme a go? If you weren't banned, then obviously you've been doing something right for the time being. If you update to iXtreme, its just going to make it that much more difficult for MS to catch you. So why not try to protect yourself even more, is what im saying..... To each their own i guess
