Just buy a cheap xbox from the pawn shop. If your a serious modder, you know what to look for. Feet never removed, both stickers intact, etc. I get xboxs locally for $75 to mod for other people. You can get em pretty cheap if you tell em the price is dropping to $99 in the middle of Nov for Christmas lol

Resist the modding tempation and use it for live. My Xbox in the living room will never see live again. Im tired of reflashing the eeprom and with whats goin on now it doesnt look like its gonna work anymore anyway.

Maybe XBL is purposely banning people. Via the terms of service for xbox live a modchip violates the TOS. So we had a good run! Wait for the new technology in modchips and try again!

Well its not the games that are causing this because, I played SWBF on XBOX Live about 2 weeks ago and I had no problems. Then all of the sudden I go to play it the other day and I find out that I am banned.

ok, well you dont get banned instantly.. so that game isnt ruled out.

however, i play it on xbc and i still play xbox live on a daily basis.

kinda odd though... i was on splinter cell, and a friend came in saying he got booted and it said "you are already signed in on another xbox" or something similar... so i went to invite him to the game he was already in, and the whole room got booted and issued that message... had to resign into xbox live... no ban as of yet though.

odd shit going on... gonna be scared to play halo 2 when i get home at 12:02 on november 9th. scared my xbox will explode. its gotta be related.

I've been a victim of these "new" bannings and I've never played SWB, so I think that clearly rules it out at least as being the only game/factor to have impact.

I agree Mannequin, I just do not think that the GAMES themselves are getting us banned. I think that MS is somehow scanning for modchips or flashed TSOPs and simply busting people. As I said before I think that they are pissed about HALO 2 and this is their revenge against all of us "pirates".

I think this is an interesting topic and thought I would add my 2 cents.  First off I am not sure if MS can 'see' your saved games on your e drive... this would be one way of checkin for french software. also in my opinion, if you play live and go on kai and play the french software, your asking for it.

In my personal opinion, (which may be really extreme but not impossible) M$ is freakin pissed off about the french software situation.  It is possible they set up a small team of people dedicated solely to banning 'hackers' from live.  This can include hacked software of any kind, re-used eproms, french software, large hard drives... basically anything of this nature... even taking gamer tags from sites like this and scrutinizing these accounts.

this may seem a little crazy, but its not impossible is it?

ps. not banned yet, but assuming its coming soon for reason im not going to say (and im removing my name from sig).

Xbox Live security
The Xbox Live team has noticed and received reports from the Xbox Live community about users connecting to the Xbox Live service using modified Xbox consoles. In most cases, these users have used the modifications to gain an unfair advantage over other players, such as racing modified, faster cars in Project Gotham Racing 2. By doing this, users are breaking the Terms of Use that must be agreed to when a gamertag is created. The Xbox Live team will not tolerate this unfair activity and have taken steps to protect our community from this cheating.

Xbox Live has recently initiated additional security measures to ensure that those connecting to Xbox Live with modified hardware will be removed from the system. Modified consoles will be banned, and information about those banned machines will be tracked to prevent them from connecting to the service again.

It’s important to the Xbox Live team that we work to provide an environment that is free of cheating and gives all players an opportunity to compete fairly online, and that's why I wanted to ensure that the community knows this. Xbox Live constantly monitors for users attempting to bypass security measures and gain unfair advantages over other players, and will take additional action as needed.


im sure this is a major part in the banning outbreak... especially to try and keep the halo 2 servers clean for when it comes out.

so maybe its a good thing, as long as i dont get banned and only the people who think they can get away with going on live with a chip enabled do... but im sure there will be many casualties that dont deserve to lose their accounts.

it really pisses me off though that people have to cheat...im pretty much furious over this whole thing.

Are the people on this thread using Modchips or Softmods?

Which one of the two are more likely to be booked by M$??

Any of the recently banned individuals happen to use a xenium ice?  should i be worried?

A.Z.BEST®...
i know you are doing your best to get this thing under wraps..
and i for one appreiciate it..

its just so hard to get information straight with some ppl.

i for one, use xbmc, i have save games for unleashX on my hard drive, use live on a regular basis, havent used xbox connect in a long while, play battlefront backup (never put update or dashupdate.xbe on my hard drive or game backup disc)
played all the new games...

and my account seems ok. not a problem.

i however HAVE NOT attempted to or thought about downloading H2... maybe these people have and thats how this is happening and they are just afraid to say so.

im suprised none of the mods have any insight on this.
