Anyone been a victim of this the last couple of weeks. Mine got banned today, can't really be angry as i knew the risks

Got my worth out of it though, flashed for 18months.

May buy a new one now and because i only play 2 or 3 games, just buy genuine copies, can always keep my banned xbox for offline play on pirate copies

TBH, he's stupid for playing it before it's out

I didn't, just was a victim of them doing a search and finding mine, no big deal though, will buy a new one this week

Nearly everyone with a flashed box got banned, if not yet they will do. My friend got banned without even playing a copied game so they must be detecting the firmware now. Glad I kept my warranty, and iv got a couple spare for online only.

What exactly happens when you get banned? Does the console just stop working or does it work off line only :S

Mate of mine got banned the other day, he wasn't too fussed, meant he could play MW2 a week early now and not bother worrying about it.

He'd not played anything naughty online either, so they must of checked when downloading an update or something, he only chipped his box a week or so ago.

Apparently they do a cull every november?

People can hardly complain about it though

Apparently c4eva(guy who made the firmware) said they are detecting firmware now so everyone with a flashed 360 will be banned, but he is making a new firmware ixteme lite or something.

From this new wave of banning, and people with stealth firmware getting banned, i don't think people will be able to stop it because this new firmware is supposed to do the same that the old one was. I think if they really want to they can ban everyone whenever they choose

They just choose to do it annually around this time when the best titles come out, forcing the people who have just been banned, to buy a new console to play the games. Plus how many people that get banned once, will buy a new one and flash it risking it again

Saw this on another site.

Will smith's xbox got banned...

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
get ready to Jive
I'll tell you how Microsoft banned me from Live

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the Xbox was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' on my bedroom floor
And shootin some n00bs on call of duty 4
When a couple of guys
They were up to no good
Started flashin Liteons in my neighborhood
I backed up one little game but then I got scared
but C4EVA says it's safe so I really don't care

Forza 3 was due and when it came near
I played the damn thing early because I'd waited all year
If anything I can say this game was rare
But I thought 'Nah forget it' - 'I got stealth Firmware!'

I turned on my xbox about 8 or 9
And I hit the little button that said "connect to xbox live"
I looked at my screen
And I shouted abuse
"Banned for violation of the terms of use""
