Maybe there's nobody left to ban. It was on before that the ban would continue until the 13th. Have to wait and see.

I think that they'll keep on going until they can't ban no more. Surely most of their systems must be automated. MS have scored a equaliser modders 1 - 1 M$.
I'm enjoying all this news. It's like a story unfolding.

Sorry to go a bit off topic here but it kinda relates to banning, got a 360 tday of ebay its has the pre NXE dashboard and is modded with 1.6 firmware - i think - anyway i asked the seller if it was banned once i discovered it was modded but still no reply, i cant register the console with microsoft as it is already registered and according to the status when i test live connection it isnt banned, is there any of knowing other then plugging in an ethernet cable? any help would be appreciated.

If you are running any fw on lite-ons, you run a higher risk of getting caught. Everyone should just wait until iXtreme Lite Touch comes out...I wouldn't risk going online before then. c4eva even said that all fw is now detectable, hence the reason he's coming out with iX LT.

Evidence?
$38 on new discs -- Check
$15 on burn after burn that showed as a DVD -- Check
$11 on new laser -- Check
$28 on new multimeter -- Check

Hiya Azzid.
Did he really say that word for word? Last I heard he said "no more bans from firmware" which hints at the fact that the FW was being detected, but I don't think he said that was why.
How come Liteons are at risk more?

Yeah, the relation is that there are a ton of people getting banned and they are all swarming on the website, which is overloading it...

Sorry, I just got news that c4eva never did say that it is detectable and he found out. Even though he hasn't said that, I have reason to believe it is detectable since he's coming out with Lite Touch.
I keep reading this stuff on my site and I believe one of the posts said that 70% of the bans were lite ons. We apparently have an MS employee on the site (rogue might I add...who knows if he's lying or not) and he stated that the liteons were the test drive for this new detection method. Who knows...
But we are trying to keep everything organized and make sure we knock down any myths or rumors about this whole ordeal on my site. You can check out what we have so far:
*removed*
I hope the mods don't care that I'm sharing that link :/ But I think it will help a lot of people know whats exactly going on.
EDIT:
lol so that 70% liteon comment I made is in the 4th post of that thread.

Hi I have been following this ban wave like most everyone else here and there is one thing I am noticing that I am surprised nobody is questioning. It seems everyone who has installed games to their modded 360 has been banned. I am just curious if installing the games now 100% guarantees you will get banned so
I am wondering if there is anyone here that has installed burned games to their HD and NOT been banned?
I myself am new to 360 modding and just flashed my 360 and a friends about a week ago. One is a Hitachi 1.51 and other is a Samsung 1.61. We have both been on live for a week about playing a copied Borderlands and also Tales of Vesperia. Neither of us have installed the games and to this point we are ban free. I am going to continue burning games and playing on live but I do not plan on burning any wave 4 games until they turn out to be more safe, sorry MW2.
Either way I am really curious if anyone here has installed copied games to their 360 and is ban free.

Hey guys I'm a noob to Xbox Live and all that fun stuff, but I can confirm that my console got banned today after I plugged it back in after about three weeks of not using it.
I was not playing any games, I just turned it on to test my connection and the ban hammer scree came up. Too bad I recently activated my 12 month live card!
Ohh well, I'll stick to PC gaming and single player xbox.

my 2 cents,
Everybody who modded his xbox after 28 october isn't going to get banned yet.
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"

Even if my console gets banned I still am happy I modded it because their are plenty of one player games that I just have passed up on buying.
