I'm actually lucky, where I live I have about 5 Wal-Mart stores within a 45 mile radius. I purchased 2 Arcade version last week and got a total of $200 in gift cards, purchase 2 more Arcades last night and got another $200 in gift cards. Then I went back to Wal-Mart and got myself a new Samsung 40" LCD TV and used the $400 worth of gift cards.
Thank you M$, you helped me get a new TV and save $400... your plan worked and it worked even better for me.
Now I have 1 mod xbox that is ban, 1 mod xbox that I haven't check online yet because I bet it will get ban and want keep the HD functionality. 4 new xbox that will be modded 1 at at a time with this new firmware release so if it gets ban, I will have a spare to mod again.
I'm a pirate..."argh argh argh" - happy safe modding ;)
This is the worst story I have ever heard of in this forum. I know for a fact that you have read every post in this forum in regards to flashing consoles. You buy all of these arcades without any type of need, yet you plan to flash them all. Good luck with you credit card payments and your job at target.
I think your just bashing against me for no real reason and your taking your anger and frustration by the comment you just made. I think I made it real clear for the reason why I am using the consoles, there is an actual purpose for it and the "job at target" comment actually made me laugh because it's irrelevant to my comment or the comment you made. I'm now sure what direction you were going with what you said. Either way, sorry to see that your upset and let's just move on.
I hope all of your consoles get banned.
Thanks, I hope the same for you. Why don't you stick to playing MW2 on your Wii and leave this forum for the big boys with their modded 360.

The ban wave is still alive and well. Thank you for asking lol. 2 more peeps got banned today.
I am now back online with a legit xbox bought today. New arcade from Walmart. What is this that I'm hearing about the new lite-on drives not being dumpable? Please tell me that's just someone talking who doesn't know the lite-ons can be dumped with an extractor probe and what not. I've modded many lite-ons but is there a newer version of it that came out without me knowing? I did notice that the arcade didn't have the additional heat sink on it....that was upsetting...I wonder if they decided it wasn't needed.
In response to the repeated inquiry regarding the question of will your hard drive ban your unmodded xbox, the answer is no!! In addition, if you haven't been banned yet, then yes, you can swap your HD back and forth between your modded and unmodded systems and still get achievements on both.
One more thing, I know not everyone in this room is out of high school yet but....there, their, they're. Those are 3 different words. I'm not here to give a grammer lesson or anything but rather save some people some embarrassment when they make it to the professional community.

There is currently no way to extract the key from the NEWER Liteon 83850C and 93450C August 2009+ (The pre August 2009 Liteon 83850C DVD key can be extracted using SATA - the USB / Serial is NOT required.

This may be of interest , I Purchased a new Xbox about 3 weeks ago after mine had seen better days and several repairs but as the ban wave was going on I thought I would leave it alone and flash it when all goes quiet , To my total amazement I have been banned , Now bear in mind this machine is brand new and has not been flashed yet , I have taken it apart now and checked the drive to see if it has been tampered with and returned as they do but the drive firmware is still original, Still has a 74850C Inside.

I presume your previous console was flagged and they benned this one by mistake. I think if you post in xbox's forums they will take another look but if your lying they ban your gamertag completely.

I just had an epiphany. Let's say, someone mods their xbox, has a problem with it and needs to send it in for warranty, puts the original FW back on it to prevent M$ from becoming wise to their shenanigans, M$ sends them a different xbox (as they do), the once modded xbox is then parted out and rebuilt, then sold in a store as a new xbox to it's new, unsuspecting, and soon to be banned owner. Technically, according to what I've heard on this forum, if the drive was ever modded M$ can detect it. What I'm politely trying to say is, your new, clean xbox might really be a little dirty whore xbox with a new dress and hair cut.
P.S. That really sucks that I probably got one of the new lite-ons. Oh well, I still have my modded and now permanently offline xbox.

As far as I understand it, nothing. Video content can no longer be played by that console ~(though streaming should still work).
I'm almost glad my laser decided to start playing up a couple of weeks ago. It's kept me offline. I was going to pot fix and get on Live, but I need my hard drive capabilities now, more than ever, so I'll let the subscription quietly run out next week. I prefer PSN, anyway ;-)
I'm just worried that I'll end up frying my laser and I'm sure unbanned modded boxes will be something of a premium, soon :-(
Wherever you go, there you are.

Quick Question. Does it matter if you use a connectivity kit as opposed to powering form the xbox during Flashing because i am reading where by powering form the console it throws an error which is logged on your xbox which can get u flagged. (please dont flame its just a question)

Got banned yesterday the 13th, how apropro. Anyway, gotta take it like a man, we did what we did, and now gotta bite the bullet. It was my grandson's 360, and I was the one who suggested flashing, not his fault, so i'm obliged to buy him a new one. Now, question,
and if its been answered before, than think of this as a refresher, cuz i've been researching all morning:
The acct is still good ( I checked on xbox.com this morning). So take the new 360(which WILL NOT be modded) and get him a used copy of COD 4 and 5 (that is all he plays online) and use the modded one just to play. To recover his gamertag, just use the new one to connect, and recover his gamertag with the new one, and leave the HDD in the used one alone?

You can use the hard drive from the old console if you just want to buy him a new Arcade. Delete the gamertag from the hard drive because it will show up as corrupted when you connect it to the new console, but choose not to delete your achievements and saves, then just recover the gamertag once the hard drive is connected to the new machine.

I had 2 consoles, both using the same backups from the same source iso checked for stealth - both have been banned, 5 days apart. The only games EVER played were COD4MW and CODWAW. Both consoles were recently purchased and recently mod with 1.6 by 2 different ppl.
Question to those with more experience here... if I buy and Arcade can I put the Hard Drive from my banned unti on it can carry on? My tag's are not banned, the notice only says the console hase been banned.
My kids are pissed - help a brother out!

Ok, simple enough. So, now an arcade machine with the old HDD, and the banned console without any HDD. Will that banned one be able to play backups, without the HDD?

NEver mind, dumb question, without the HDD,it's almost impossible to play, no saves.

New Arcades have 512 MB of flash memory actually, so you can play without a hard drive and still save your games.

I have just read on multiple web pages that Microsoft perform an Annual Banning in November...
Anyone got any more information on this or is it just rumour?

They have done console ban waves once per year around October/November time for the last 3 years, but going forward we have no way of knowing if they'll continue to do that. They've definitely improved their detection methods, so they may do ban waves more often. There's no way to know.

I was just banned last night. I am fine with it cause PS3 was the first system I bought, and I only bought a used 360 off of ebay for the purpose of modding it. Just kinda pissed that I bought a year worth of Live 2 months ago, but oh well.
I am not going to buy another 360 just so Microsoft could have a chance on trying to match the PS3 sales this season.
