Here's the dealio... I just got banned, for whatever reason, I shalln't mention here.

Every one of my friends has a PS3 because they can't stand the noise, I used to tell them to get an XBOX, and install them... Now we might as well all play PS3... They don't make you pay for online gaming, that should be a right, not a privilage IMHO, *bleep* YOU M$, greedy bastards!!
Either way, can I save myself £100 ($200) and just adjust a drawer a little to accommodate wires to cope with *C, so I don't have to put up with that awful DROANING noise?
Thanks a bunch peeps!!
O here we go, another bitter banned person. Now your banned you cant stand the noise of the xbox and you wish you went with ps3....sigh , get a ps3 then you know damn well mate there crap online and £25 a year for the live service is excellent. Have you seen the new features ;) With ps3 you walk around a fake world with movie theaters and candy shops zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Come on grab another xbox £150 tescos with hdmi, and use two one for copies one for legits like awsome cod2. Good luck bud

Got banned about 20 mins ago here in the UK. My own stupid fault as i went on to live to get the media update as i wanted to play an xvid file. Doh!!! Not fussed about Live but this not being able to install games to the HD is a pain.

Just because you wait doesn't mean you won't get banned. Your system could be flagged already and as soon as you go on XBL they will ban you.

Really people are shatting their pants over being banned its not a big deal at all. God forbid you have to sell your banned xbox, lose $20 and buy a different used/new one for cheap and buy a real game. Even with a new box thats $200. Boo hoo thats not even 4 games and im pretty sure most of us have more than 4 "games" that didn't cost us $59.99 a piece.
Play real games or offline for a bit till LT comes out (when? im skeptical) but its coming and once again we will be able to sign into XBL and boot our backups for one more year till we likely get banned again, then... We do it all over
I played live everyday and really dont play anything but xbl but i will be patiently waiting for new FW to hit the download circuit, and i will again be playing on xbl.

If you play any newer released game that has the update on it.

I read about 45 pages of this thread and I didn't find my answer, but if someone did post this already, please forgive me.
I have 2 xbox 360 elites (both modified) and one of them is banned a week ago. I still have my other xbox and I also did that big update prior to M$ lay down the ban hammer. Now, I don't know if this other xbox that isn't banned really is banned. Since the only way to find out is to do the internet connection test which requires to go on live. Although I haven't used this xbox to play much backed up games, I've very sure that it's also on M$ black list ready to be banned.
Now my question is, do you guys think it'll make a difference if I re-flash it back to it's original firmware?

a friend of mine changed his firmware to the original afraid of the ban wave, he was banned either way, if you have played backups online with that xbox you`ll likely be banned.
like other people have said, if your flagged then you will get ban when signing in to live

Thanks for being helpful. I'll keep my fingers crossed then and log on live tonight and hopefully it wasn't flagged since I haven't really used it much for anything else but watching dvds. =( If it connects to live without a ban, I'll leave it back at it's original firmware and only play my original (non backed up) games.

I got banned on the 14th of November..I am soo mad..but ya know what..I just sucked it up..because it was MY fault I was banned..I made the decision to flash my drive. So you know what I did to get UNBANNED? I went to walmart and bought a new xbox. I was going to gut swap..but I thought about it and I have already for the last 3 yrs. gotten SOO much free software that why would I risk going to jail over an XBOX. So to all the people bitching and complaining..you need to take a step back and look at the privlage that we were givin. So if you really want your live back then just save your money and go buy a new one. And dont say all that crap about "feeding the machine". Dont be a such a freeloading loser and contribute to our economy by buying an xbox. Or just shut your mouth and play all you want offline and before release. JUST STOP the damn crying already!

so it looks like my other xbox elite got banned too. It's gonna be awhile before I could buy another xbox. Maybe I'll just have to start using my PS3 that's covering in dust. Too bad because I hardly played any games on this xbox that just got banned. I still have my live membership too and I can't use the netflix and other features. =/

Agreed. It seems like most of these people who are whining think there is 0 risk involved when the had their 360 modded. Instead of crying, buy another 360 or move on. Just be thankful you are not in jail.

O how seriously boring going back to ps3 zzz Onlinwith kids and people who pressed play online by mistake.
The membership fee is what seperates xbox live to other competition. Its excellent :)

Please let's not turn this into the old fanboy argument thread.
I have my modded 360 for cheap games, and my PS3 for the one thing I play online (MGO).
The multiplayer is an added bonus, for those who appreciate it, and I don't think that there really is that much difference between Live and PSN (other than the price).
I don't think price is the issue, as anyone with the money to buy a PS3 can certainly afford a 360 and a couple of years on Live ;-)
Wherever you go, there you are.

Why's it too bad? Ahhh... I see. Someone must have modded it for you and didn't tell you the risks of using a modded console. THOSE B@$TARDS! How can those modders do that to you. :/

I just thoughtid let everyone here know if they don't know already, but the new ixtreme LT will no longer emulate split vid, so we have to make sure all our backups have been split vidded, i.e. a 7.29gb file, not a 7.05.

It also won't repair the ISOs that have the angles not usable by Ixtreme 1.4 and lower. I've asked in another thread how those can be fixed but haven't gotten an answer yet, but as it stands, I've taken all those games out of my rotation and need to get new rips.

They are fixable. Under the misc options tab in ABGX, you can select to add splitvid to your game automatically if it isn't there.
$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

I have that selected. These angles are not the same thing apparently.

Never played any of my games on live, just connected occasionally to talk to friends and still got banned. Definitely think it has to do with achievements earned while offline. Oh well Bill Gates can go f%ck himself since I'll continue to rip games and save myself $100 for every new release (that's the price for new games here in Australia).
Cheers!
