your drive is flashed too.
FAIL.

LOL.... Pwned! The Pot calling the kettle Black, eh? And no, that was not a "Racist" joke as some in the media would love to push!

Wouldn't the logging of inserting the ACTIVATE disc then the game disc be like an instant banning from LIVE?

Seems 1.51 + verified rips is the best way to go.

activate.iso COULD possibly get you a ban. I'm sure there'll be an update soon!

PS: X-S this is news I care about, thank you

UPDATE!

After a chat with a "friend of mine" it is in fact a way to detect modded consoles. Any changes to firmware or angle is now logged in the flash of the 360 and automatically reported back to MS. He alluded to the fact that there will be "many upset modders" on November 8 when they login to Live and are required to dl an update. Seems suspicious since Modern Warfare 2 releases the next day?!?!?

So it looks like even using v1.51 is unsafe and will result in a ban as well

So pretty much dont play ANY (retail disk or backup) wave 4 games until a proper ixtreme firmware comes out?

right now yes, but after if you accept the November 8th update then no games are same with any current firmware

Forza 3 is wave 3 so will work on ix 1.6.

Does using the activate disc make you more venrable playing online?

Please got, not the old "someone said his friend said..." again. Especially when it comes from a random blog that was probably created today.
"Any changes to firmware [...] is now logged" pretty much disqualifies this poster because clearly MS has no way to detect changes to the firmware. The drive is a black box, remember.
Until C4E announces a new flaw in the firmware, it is best to ignore such posts that lack any technical detail.

I assume you mean vulnerable so yes - it does make it more dangerous because it will accept any disk. If you're planning on doing that, run all(!) your disks through abgx360 to be on the safe side.

Wait for the update of ixtreme if indeed needed. Till then ist is not advisable to run any game that is belived to be wave 4.(does not boot).
That is, if you wanna be on the safe side.

Stick to the thread that ZakMcRofl wrote!

No BS! Please...

kpkimmel · « **Reply #56 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:56:00 AM »

wow you are really upset about that blog. If that person has some information that might help then so be it. Rather be on the safe side than anything. If there is a possibility of getting banned from the wave 4 then i'll steer clear.

ZakMcRofl · « **Reply #57 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:03:00 AM »

I'm not upset about the blog, I'm upset that people go into hysteria mode every time a change is made.
They updated the NXE on the disk, big deal. This has absolutely nothing to do with the november update and we have no indication that "wave4" will affect firmware stealth/safety at all.
Sure, if you play using Activation.iso you're always facing an additional risk. Ripping tools or ixtreme may be making mistakes when working with the new files structure.

In conclusion: Waiting until a proper solution or statement is out is a good idea, but don't panic just because some unknown blogger's unknown friend made a vague statement regarding upcoming bans.

EDIT: Don't forget that C4E mentioned/expected that NXE updates could come out as future waves, which is why he made the activation.iso feature. Sure, 1.51 allows you to boot any wave, but that's not always necessarily the safest approach. Therefore C4E delegated the risk to the user who now has to "opt-in" in order to play disks of unknown waves.
