Sorry for butting in but
1. Cant we use some kind of a software or something to report a different console id...Might not work cause random no's wont work..maybe
2.We the best possible solution is to hack LIVE srvers and unban everyone..Which I am sure someone is capable of...
I really think giving a fake ping is the best way...Only if someone can mod X Link Kai to do that...
1: Nope, Each console has a unique id. Like a serial number for computer games. Only one console can use it and it needs to match other info such as mac addres, serial number, man date.
And all this stuff needs to match in the MS data base.
2: The database probably doesn't have direct connection to the internet and is probably read only unless your on the local computer.
Its more likely all requests are direct to a computer that connected to the database over a private network.
Also if some one managed to hack this database MS would take it very seriously and if caught jail time for the offender.
Altho Id love for this to happen but even if it did your not likly to benifit from it as they could only add the info that they know. Would be impossible to match every combination. And if it was hacked to just let any one in MS would notice and could easly just restore to a backup they have.
