I just got banned, this would have been so bad if it wasnt for the fact that they buggered up the accounts when I put it into a new console and blocked HD installs.

what new games have you banned guys been playing? mw2? dragon age? borderlands?

my friend got banned.  I laughed my head off... it even banned his hard drive!!!

What would really be fucked up is if you bought a used console that had been flashed but hadn't been banned yet.  If you didn't know it had been flashed, and had only been playing retail games and then got banned.  I would be pissed.

Can't you check whether you have been banned or not without risking your console and hdd install privilages by just doing a Xbox Live connection test in the setup menu and making note of the error code if you can't connect or can you get banned with the connection test too?

Ah a friend of mine got banned today aswell.
Shit happens ofcourse but its still not fun to hear.

[damn!]

Is it legal to deactivate HDD installs? I mean banning from live is okay, since it's in the terms of use. But deactivating HDD installs means less function of the unit and i can't imagine that this would be legal.

They can do whatever they want to their console.  Buying a 360 is like renting property from Microsoft.  You can use it, but only how they allow you to.  If you go outside the scope of your agreement of use...Then you are subject to whatever changes and restrictions that they want to give you.

My friend got banned today and I know exactly which games he has played the whole time his console has been modded. I modded his console 2 weeks ago. He has played Borderlands, Madden, NHL 10, Halo 3 ODST, CoD4 and Smackdown. All games were created with Xbox backup creater from his originals. He had a benq drive with ix1.6. No hacked hard drive.

I ALWAYS install my games to my hard drive. My reasoning is if they cant see the game spinning they don't know if its a backup. He didn't install his games. I have all three games he had but installed them all and I'm fine, no ban for me.

So to get this straight, if a console is banned, they also now do something to the HDD? Is it just not allowing you to install games? Or does it prevent an unbanned console from signing on to live the HDD attached?

[paully]

can they still detect the modded x box when you connect to live with a retail version of the game cause i still have some of them kicking around,thanx in advance!!!!!!!!

Not worth turning my hdd into a 120 GB paper weight if I have been banned.

What happens to your hard drive?

I've yet to see proof that they can't. All I hear is "X person said they can't"

X = Team HyperX

Hard Drives are not banned!
It's simply the install feature that is banned on the console.
If the HDD was banned, you would not be able to do anything that requires a storage device. ie. watch videos.
Putting the same HDD on an unmodified console would work.

Bad time to mod it; so close to when Microsoft do their annual banfest.

HDD installs do not work on the banned console.

I'm just not gonna worry about these bans - just like always, there is nothing we can do about it.
If you're banned, you're banned.
