1) Some people are using modified firmwares and are saying that they will stay offline to prevent the ban. So the main difference between them and a banned console is that they can install games to their hdd. Anything else?

2) Does a xbox live ban really corrupts save game files and achievements?

3) Does it void my warranty?

4) Should I throw my console out of the window?

5) And last but not the least. Do you guys feel that there will be a way to unban the console without needing a unbanned xbox 360?

Thanks!

6. There is so much information on this forum, it's hard to tell what's true and what isn't. I want to know if it's true that after a 360 is banned, MS disables its ability to copy to and play back ups and retail games off the hard drive. Is it true?

So how do you differentiate between previously posted info and info posted to a question you ask yourself ?. You don't necessarily, hence why you should always research for yourself in addition to what are in effect anonymous forum postings.

Question 3 is funny. What guarantee? Your guarantee was void as soon as the console was opened to be flashed.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

I think you meant "I lost the ability to copy a disc to the hard drive on both of my banned boxes."

It has already been addressed in this thread. Yes, you lose the ability to copy/install discs to the HDD once banned.

Which is why if your modded 360 isn't banned yet then you should never again attempt to connect to live, to see if your 360 still isn't banned, unless you don't mind losing the ability to install games to the hard drive.
