I'm trying to convice my grandson to go to ps3 (freeeeeee online), but he says no voice chat with his buddies, they all play primarily cod4 or cod 5

Got banned today the 14th when trying to play FIFA 10 online. Never played a game before release date. Running Ixtreme 1.51 with one of the earlier Liteon drives. Got Modern Warfare 2 for the PS3 on release date so i was expecting to be banned at some stage. Not a big online gamer so will still use the Xbox for new games that i won't be playing online. Was great while it lasted.

I just joined the ban wave party....Im guessing it's because I played MW2 a week early and when I ran the burnt disc through AGBX everything checked green, except at the very end in yellow it said something like "video packet size too small" or something to that effect, again in yellow txt. There was no red txt, but this means it was a bad rip right?
I really am ok with being banned, the only thing I hate is now having to be stuck with stock rosters for sports games. Because there is absolutely no way to update Madden and NBA 2K rosters with a banned console right? Don't mean to hijack the thread...
Thanks all.

Got banned last night, Ben-q from M$ after I got the E74, the other I'm guessing a lite-on (Elite I bought for the rebate). I did buy the extended warranty, thinking about bricking it to get an unmodded and keeping the other one modded. Both 1.6, weird thing is I didn't play anything on the Elite other than CODMW and WAW and that was at least 2-3 weeks ago. I seriously think M$ got pressured by Activision to do this- both profit-new consoles, game sales. Can't say I would blame Activision, they want the most buck from their bang. Should I recover gamertag to new xbox? I might just get a new gamertag and live sub.
ERRODS the new beginning...

2 months ago? Try 2 days ago! Lol, mine annual live subscription JUST renewed, now im 50 bucks in the hole and stuck with a banned 360, Lol. I'm really on the fence now...do I get an arcade so I can use the online functionality, or do I just pony up the extra cash and get a PS3 with free online and ability to play games I haven't been able to play before?
Decisions...Decisions...

Yeah, the only thing I dislike about the PS3 and what I do like about the 360, the 360 uses a cheap headset for communication. The fact that its powered from the controller is awesome too. Far less people talk on the PS3 since you need to use a bluetooth headset, and recharge them so frequently. I will still use my 360 for single player games though, but sadly, it looks like I wont be able to play Left4Dead 2 online :(

I can't understand why people are still getting online just to get banned. I shelfed my modded box and am going to wait it out. Playing on a legit unit from Wal-Mart for now.
Why risk getting banned just so you can play for a few hours? :\
And before someone starts coaching me about how you can be offline for months and get online and get banned I know this already. However, I have kept mine offline since this thing began and it is still not banned.

Call M$ and ask if you're still covered under warranty. Well, that was the original idea. I have since heard that M$ will tell you you're still under warranty, take your info for your return, send you the stuff to ship it, then tell you it's not returnable due to tampering. So, you would actually have to go pretty far down that path to find out if you're banned....good news though, it won't cost you anything, and PLUS, you get a kickass box for free!! Yahoo!!

- All 7 XBox 360s that I have modded for friends are now banned. (This includes all 4 drive variations [BenQ, Samsung, Hitachi, and BenQ LiteOn], also all other people that I have met with modded consoles are now banned as well)
- One of the 360s never had a burnt game inserted into it.
- Every game that I have ever given out was always abgx360 stealth checked.
- All were flashed with 1.6 or 1.5 (Hitachi), except for my most recent one, flashed with 1.61.

Got hit today. I knew it was coming but didn't know when. The thing is though I forgot to disconnect my HDD/MC. My Tennessee Vols had me all torn up so I forgot to remove the HDD. I figured I was screwed. However, my HDD unit wasn't corrupted like most others have said. I am able to play the games I have on the HDD & can also install games. Why is that? Has MS changed their policy since the bans started of crippling HDD's? I feel lucky!
HYBRID MAN!

Your right, I don't have a girlfriend. I have a wife and and a couple of days ago we just celebrated our 15 years of being together since our senior in high school and 5 year wedding anniversary. She's more of hard gamer than I am, hence why the multiple xbox with tv's.

i dont think getting banned is the reason everyone's profiles are getting corrupted upon hot swapping the hdd with another console. Before the bans I had a hard drive that would only work on my console. I tried using it with at least 10 other xbox's but the profiles would always be corrupted. I think microsoft just f****ed up with the whole hdd swapping thing in the first place.

And so the ban wave is still going strong judging from some of today's posts.
