Microsoft Xbox 360

:LOL:

Not too pissed off to be honest, I'll use my PS3 for online instead if I want to play an online game.
 
Yep, except this time it's not a "wave" and it ends after a few days, it's going to be constant now.
 
:LOL: Hardly, I've got a PS3 for online games anyway :SMUG:

People are still getting banned this morning after being fine last night, I wouldn't get so smug just yet, Tim ;)
 
Microsoft Confirms LIVE Console Ban Wave to IGN
>> From xbox360>xxxxx:

"We have taken action against a small percentage of consoles that have been modified to play pirated game discs," a Microsoft spokesperson told IGN. "In line with our commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of our Xbox LIVE community, we are suspending these modded consoles from Xbox LIVE."

Microsoft also added this is a standing policy and isn't tied to any specific time-frame.

I got banned 2 days ago too, like Dags i wasnt too bothered by it, i knew someday it would come...

Yesterday i bought a brand new Elite and traded my PS3 Fifa10 for the 360 version, wont be modding this new one, like Dags said this isnt a wave, seems it will be a weekly check, so i wont be risking getting a new console banned in a week or 2... if it was once i year i would consider mod it again.

Anyway, gonna keep my banned european version for early fifa every year :D

A few friends who've got banned have sent me links to various tech sources; MS have changed their checks now (as proved by disc check logs and Live logs), which means, in a nutshell, it's only a matter of time before you get banned if you keep connecting to Live with a flashed console.

It is now a constant thing purely because they can detect these custom firmwares much more simply now, so they can automate most bans (whereas before it was all about building up a "case" on someone). I find the whole tech side of it really interesting, especially with the custom firmware programmers always saying they were 100% sure MS couldn't detect backups... Good luck pirates...
 
I always told myself, MS will always find out somehow, it's always a matter of time. Plenty of people have tried persuading me to flash my console, including my dad. Thank god, I listened to my heart.
