Got 2 banned consoles and I went back and tested every game I have ever played. Tested the acutal DVDs. And only one that failed was dead rising. But my iso passed. So it is possible that iso pass and the burn fail. So check ur disks. Also I belive once you played one unverified game they watch ur ip. Cause they banned a consle that have never played a backup. New arcade system modded it and first consle I plugged in used my MU after I formated it. And right when I went to test network boom banned. Not a single backup loaded. So returned it to Walmart lol.
I am here standing. I never sit.

I cant belive this has not been tested by anybody! If it has id love to see results please!!
I ran a test on a xbox 360 that was only on live 1 time and that was right after I modded it. I posted my results in this thread, But here it goes again. I rechecked Borderlands through abgx (with burned dvd tab) first. Got On live with no ban, and stayed on live for about 3 hours. But with my Elite system I tried the "call xbox live test" and they said im ineligible for a repair and told me to visit xbox.com/ban for more info. So my elite was banned and the other "less used" console still gets on live with no ban. I also noticed a couple other systems with no ban that have dieing lasers in them that still get on live even now with no ban.

That 600,000 figure was commented by "a friend of a friend" who was said to work in a call center.
In my opinion, until MS comfirms they intend to ban 1 million consoles, then it's just a load of b.s.
MS does the banning themselves. So why would some call center have any specific knowledge in to the process of bannings... other than the simple fact that MS is banning? Can you imagine if someone from a call center leaked any methods or procedures for banning. It's in MS's highest interest to keep any insite in regards to the banning process internal.
That's why I feel those guy at the call centers don't know crap.

in yall's expert opinions, do you think i should wait for the new LT firmware to come out to play online? i've got a lite-on flashed with 1.6 and haven't been banned yet. does it matter at this point?

The best advice right now is to wait until the new firmware and hope you're not already flagged to be banned.
And the other advice is eat an apple a day, don't piss in to the wind, and don't fart if the power windows don't work.

Are they serieus?!
I called MS to ask if there was a possibility I would get banned on my new/unbanned/unmodded xbox if I would recover my OLD gamertag on my NEW HDD.
Gues what she said..
"it's on your own risk, because your GT could be associated with some stuff that whould make us think your xbox is modded, so there's a chance of getting your new xbox banned if u recover your OLD GT on your new xbox"
Please somebody tell me this ain't true and this girl was just bullshitting/incompetent around, because otherwise I'm just going to buy a ps3.
Microsoft: "Let them do it, let them do it..because come 4 quarter were going to pull their pants down and they better get ready for penatration, because we about to go IN"

This is EXACTLY what I would like to know if I discover I'm banned when I next log onto live.
I would turn to Sony if this was indeed the case!

You will be fine, I've recovered my gamertag about 6 times to ensure it still works, I've recovered my brother, wife, and brother-in-law GT on their xbox & HD and they were fine too. They are not doing anything to our gamertags this time, just the console. I even used my old hard drive from the elite and still works fine. I just backed up my saved games and theirs and formatted my HD and theirs to just be on the safe side, and copied save games back to HD and all is back to normal.

doesn't mean they can read your firmware just go back and double verify all your disk. like the actual dvd using abgx. sometimes the burn does something bad and issues. and that is how they catch you.

yup, one of the boxes I did 3 weeks ago was banned yesterday, another today, and sadly, mine today as well.
Hey it was a good run while it lasted, and I'm sure the ware ain't over yet
When I think of a clever sig, I'll put it here!

Microsoft is detecting that we are playing back ups plain and simple. Regardless if you played your back up a while ago, I am sure that the information is going to come back to you.

I have BenQ Ixtreme 1.6, checked my backups, all are clean. Was in the middle of a MW2 team deathmatch game. Original MW2, had been online for about 2 hours or so and was kicked off xbox live. At first I could log back in, I was chatting with my friend, as soon as I loaded MW2 back up, kicked from live. Logged back in and chatted again, thought I was banned specifally from MW2. As soon as I manually logged out and tried to log back in I could no longer get on xbox live. Sucks, I was just getting to learn the maps haha. I think the worst part is not being able to use Netflix anymore and obviously play MW2 which I bought yesterday. Poop stain...

I checked my console repair warranty in the service section on xbox.com and I got the error page with 54420 or whatever at the end of the url... Am I gonna die like that guy in The Godfather where he drives up to the toll booth and its like all deserted and then he gets owned by a whole handful of Tommy Guns?
I don't want my 360 to go like that...
But seriously, should I try online and do the Z error network test or just try to sign in regularly? If I'm done I'd like to try to keep the Install to HDD feature...
And since I have a Lite-On I can't restore it, which I just learned >:(
