I don't know if this has been said before but recently I have updated three consoles from 1.6 to 1.61. One drive was a Samsung and the other two were Benqs. Everything went through perfect with flashing but when I tried to show the person that the xbox could read backups it said play DVD. So I tryed a diffrent backup game and same thing then I try an original and the xbox says reading and it just stood like that and I could hear the disc spinning and he said its never taken that long before. The xbox just said reading and wouldnt play the game. So I restarted the xbox and the game could be started and so could the backups. Then when the guy went home I got a call from him and he said he was banned when he tryed to sign in. This also happened to two other guys xboxes I don't know if they were banned though.

I had no issues at all. Then my brother comes home from gamestop with the new Modern Warfare 2. Instant ban as soon as the game boots up. I am not sure if that was attributed to the new Dashboard update or not. My dashboard has been updated for almost 1.5 weeks now. Guess thats why we always kept another clean Xbox.
