Alot of people say this is pointless because you've already being flagged but I think I'll take your advice.

Dammit ^^

I thought this woud be over by this week ^^

Could we say the thoose of us that can log in to Live and are not banned are clear?

Read the ban wave thread from November last year. It started on the 10th and people were still getting banned over 2 weeks later. This one hasn't even lasted a week yet. You can't ever say that you're clear though, because who knows if all ban waves are going to be the same? If they have got a new method of detection, it could be an ongoing thing, or it might end today and nothing happens for another year - nobody can say for sure. People in the US got banned on the 30th of October, then again yesterday, so it's not like they ban in region A, then move on to region B which makes everyone in region A that didn't get caught safe. They're doing mini ban waves in one country, but then a day or two later there can be another mini ban wave in the same country again.

I might just get rid of my HDD and use Memory card and play original games only until the ban hammer is over.

All the consoles that get flagged probably have to be reviewed to make sure they are modded and not a damaged lens or something else causing irregularities which might explain why you can be safe at first but banned later. Possibly looking at all the flagged consoles from the past year or so now. Just my two cents.

I was also banned two days ago. Probably for playing forza 3 early (got lazy and didn't realize it wasn't out yet).

My question is if I use my hard drive from my modded console on a new one and use the same gamertag, would the new console be banned as well because it still looks like I played a game early? Or should I just use a new gamertag and start over?

I saw that earlier, but the problem is, the data is easily tainted by people posting deliberately false information. On Xbox-Scene, more than one person has been caught out doing that, saying things like "I'm using iXtreme 1.6 on a Hitachi" or "I've been using abgx360 since 2007" and other people have posted one thing in one post, but then a few posts later the info they post is different. It wouldn't surprise me if some of that kind of thing is deliberate, just to throw a spanner in the works of those that are looking for patterns.

The Bottom line is no one knows what M$' strategy is, so we might as well stop pulling our hair out, and i agree with the above poster, that ppl will lie about their stats so that list is probably not very accurate. Until somene thats an M$ insider comes out and lets the cat out the bag we probably wont know.

well my vote is that they are running some new version of .. what was it called... jitter? anyone rem that? it detects all your hardware ..There must be something we are missing which is prob so obvious most of us are going to smack our foreheads in one resounding SMACK when we notice it lol.. because that's all it could be.. there is NO way for MS to detect your firmware.. that would involve changing modes during start up and it would make the drive in-op, and they know we would notice that.. its not the games cause people are getting banned who only played older games verified in abgx..

so my vote is something buried in the new update that activated (maybe like a trojan does), can detect some hardware settings stored on the nvram on the board, and BAM.. the bans start happening

I got banned yesterday.
All games checked and stealthy,
Ive played these games:
GTA V
Saints Row 2
NHL 10
Fable 2
Prototype
Forza 3

Im thinking i shouldnt of played forza 3, but its already released so i donno. I hate when they go on these banning sprees, now i have to buy a new xbox before Cod MW2 comes out so i can play online

any suggestions on how to get unbanned? (if so)

not possible to get unbanned, find someone that doesnt play online and trade 360's with them. screw buying a new one

Ive had my xbox for 2 years and flashed it for the 1st time when 1.51 came out, didnt upgrade to 1.6 but did upgrade to 1.61 last week. ive played a few games early, unintentionally, but always made sure they were fine in abgx. I havnt played ODST, red faction or MW2 but have played all of the other games mentioned as a possible threat. Also I have not installed any games to my hard drive. About 2 months ago my drive died and i replaced it with a spare hitachi i found and had to spoof it. As of now i am not banned
also i live in the UK

so im thinking that seeing as ms can alter the functions of your hardrive after you get banned, then maybethey have more control over that than the console itself and can retrieve more data from it.

I just got banned about 10 mins ago, but it was my console. It is modded and i havent played any games that weren't already out.

My question is, can i use the same hard drive to play my other 360 without getting banned? Cause i have two consoles but one hard drive.
