[iDenning]

Apparently in November the latest firmware is being patched and there is ban waves.

I am generally pooing myself.

[iDenning]

I couldn't live without mine though lol

And forget buying a new one after

[GoldenMerc]

Ya, i woulnt be happy but i dont really play online much anymore. i just tend to buy crap loads of games and play offline.

[Lew]

Take some laxative..

[[Chris]]

Well.. I dont know really.. Mines out of warranty, And i dont play on it much and every game (my friends) played on WASNT fake.

And i've had ghostbusters for.. Months.. and not been banned yet. But.. I'll just buy a cheap xbox if mine gets banned..

[motojack1000]

i don't have it flashed so im fine

[x-glow]

And How are they meant to do this? I cant play online, becuase it dosent let me no more, so Ya'know.

[Mickword]

Whats flashed sorry!

[iDenning]

They run tests every 3months, november supposedly when they patch it and ban

[GoldenMerc]

They've banned today its all over xbox360ISO. UK havent been hit yet.

[Robbie]

They don't 'patch' the firmware. They can't modify the firmware from their end, it has to be plugged into a PC. All they can do is console ban you which happens ONCE maybe TWICE a year.

(banwaves today xox)

[StefanWolves]

Mines flashed, I survived there last batch of banhammers, simple really, if you know when the firmware is coming out, disconnect your wifi arial from your 360. Then wait and see what people are saying on the forums that are in the know. If you haven't played the copied games before they have been released then you have nothing to worry about (I know I haven't, because I'm not that stupid that I'd player games before they were released).

EDIT; Dad just told me they have started banning people in the USA today, from 5am this morning.

The firmware has nothing to do with getting banned (in principle) - it's bad rips etc which are stored over time and you are then flagged by Microsoft for the next wave. Disconnecting your wireless adapter/ethernet does nothing as whatever you do is stored on the internal NAND anyway.

Although, this wave is slightly different from others.

True, wonder how they are doing it this time. Hope I don't get banned, not had it yet.

[GoldenMerc]

ye im online now waiting to see what happens

[iDenning]

Im scared to log on.

My birthday tomorrow aswell so wouldnt it be a nice gift to get banned :(

I aint played games early :)

[GoldenMerc]

I think the UK Ban wave will go on till maybe 5am tbh

[iDenning]

Well good luck to you and everyone else.

So hope I don't get banned, I've spent so much sorting it all out :(

[GoldenMerc]

lolol, if i get banned its due to r...... non stealth :@

[iDenning]

I played none games early, all games been stealth and verified. However i have been reported a few times for modding gta but i have more of a good rep than bad. So i should be fine? But hay, who knows, this is Microsoft after all.

[StefanWolves]

People who haven't played games before they have been released SHOULD be fine, the emphasis on SHOULD.

[GoldenMerc]

That rules me out

[Recursion]

No problem for me, I just got the RROD so no chance of even flashing, modding, playing games, watching movies etc for a month.

Oh well, off to my PS3 I go :P

[iDenning]

Same, corrupt discs when I first started however.

[StefanWolves]

Haven't had RROD for a year, hope I haven't jinxed myself.

Do any of you agree that it isn't a coincidence that they do a wave of bans on the eve of one of the most eagerly awaited games of the year? :rolleyes:

I also will be a little pissed off If I do get banned, as I only brought XBL two weeks ago. (12 months for £25.)

[StefanWolves]

[iDenning]

Have you seen anyone from the UK get banned yet?
Its going to be tomorrow morning I think.

Ill check on xbox360iso one sec

EDIT; A poll for everything (not just UK):

YES! = 60 PEOPLE = 14.15%
NO! = 291 PEOPLE = 68.63%
NOT CHECKED/SCARED = 73 PEOPLE = 17.22%
Looking good so far i reckon

[StefanWolves]

Oki. :)

[Blinger1]

[iDenning]

I've heard that it was only the yanks that got slaughtered this time around.
Lol

Im fine atm

However, there will be another ban wave. It isnt november yet, this is just the start :(

[Robbie]

Doesn't matter if you stay off LIVE for the duration, if you are going to be banned you'll be flagged.

[Jahova]

My mates xbox got banned but he wasn't sure if it was the gamerscore modding or his xbox being chipped. No reason was given.

[iDenning]

Ive done both and im fine atm.

Im off out to buy BOGT now (new gta)

[[Chris]]

Lol, chipping xbox = Calling for a ban..

Yeah, im going to check now

Banned = Downloading Mw2 early when its leaked
Not banned = Commence gaming as usual

EDIT : Yeah, Im not banned.. Yet..

[StefanWolves]

My xbox has been flashed for two years, I haven't got banned once.

[[Chris]]

My xbox has been flashed for two years, I haven't got banned once.

Ok..?

Lots of peoples have been flashed for ages and not been banned?

[StefanWolves]

so why are you worrying?

[[Chris]]

so why are you worrying?

Because I think i messed up a few disks

[GoldenMerc]

I played the odd game early :{

[StefanWolves]

then ull probably be banned.

[[Chris]]

Well.. I played Ghost busters when it was out in Canada.. But that was region free.. So for all they know, i could have imported it

Thats i really

[Andeeh]

lol, im sorry but for some people they seem to think its the end of the world if they get banned :D

[[Chris]]

lol, im sorry but for some people they seem to think its the end of the world if they get banned :D

Well.. If its a console ban, You have to buy a new console? That kinda is a big deal.

[iDenning]

;6129296']Well.. If its a console ban, You have to buy a new console? That kinda is a big deal.
Exactly

No ban as yet, hopefully stays that way as I just brought game for bday and i'm about to pre order MW2.

[[Chris]]

Lol, i'd just buy a new Xbox, and trade all the things in like the pad hdd and that
Lol

[:totaled::]

i think some people getting banned is a scam tbh

there is the new mw2 elite coming out for 250 easy way to make money? ban loads of people throw in a few people that havent done anything wrong and you makin another big profit

[GoldenMerc]

people who havent done anything, they've copied games and broke copyright laws (this is me aswel im not singling out people :P)

[Andeeh]

;6129296']Well.. If its a console ban, You have to buy a new console? That kinda is a big deal.
Yeah i get what your saying, but what im trying to say is that there is more to life than xbox and tbh if you do get banned then you shouldnt have done it in the first place.

[graffiti]

So you are trying to say if you lost what 160 quid you wouldn't be gutted?

[Ashley 12344]

So you are trying to say if you lost what 160 quid you wouldn't be gutted?

Shouldn't cost you more than £90 tbf. You only need a new arcade, don't you?

[Andeeh]

So you are trying to say if you lost what 160 quid you wouldn't be gutted?
I wouldnt call it losing anything. I have got more than my moneys worth from my xbox and tbh i wouldnt be to fussed if it broke anymore. Also as i stated in my previous post if these people do get banned then its only through there own fault.

[Alba]

This.

Theres rules to follow whilst playing with a modded console. And If you are Ignorant enough not to follow them, then you deserve to be banned.

I've got an offline, and online console anyway. Not that I'll be banned.

[lBlue]

It's funny listening to people without modded 360's trying to out talk the ones who know the risks and how to protect themselves. Must admit, it gives me a little smirk.

[StefanWolves]

Well, I haven't be banned, thanks for all scare mongering guys! (The people with flashed 360s).

Just shows, if your sensible, and know what you're doing - then you have nothing to worry about.

[[Chris]]

It's funny listening to people without modded 360's trying to out talk the ones who know the risks and how to protect themselves. Must admit, it gives me a little smirk.

Exactly..

If you can properly stealth and get your ISOs from a decent source.. Then nothing can go wrong, And playing games early doesnt help either..

BUT, Saying that - spending 2 pound Is better than spending 40..

I mean, if you like the game.. BUY it.. Thats what i do..


And yeah, I havnt been banned YET

[iDenning]

not been banned.. yet

[Johno]

I went on today to find I was banned, **** knows whats happened there. All my games were fine and such, I was even playing it earlier today (worked, went off for an hour after playing L4D2 demo and went back on to find I was banned)

So annoyed but oh well, nothing I can do now!

[lBlue]

UK banwave is hitting now (started around 18:15). As suspected, not banned yet. (;

[[Chris]]

Oh Damn. RIP Xbox :s ( Dunno yet )

[Robbie]

Not banned yet haha, MW2 played :P

[[Chris]]

Not banned yet haha, MW2 played :P

Pfft.. You will.. dont you worry..

Are you connected to LIVE! ?

Well.. i dunno, I havnt been banned yet either (MW2 not played)

[lBlue]

Not banned yet haha, MW2 played :P
You lucky ****. Didn't you play a **** copy of UFC?

[Robbie]

I played dodgy UFC, french dodgy ODST and this MW2 :P

[[Chris]]

I played dodgy UFC, french dodgy ODST and this MW2 :P

*****.. Good luck NOT getting banned..

[StefanWolves]

I have MW2 ready to play... have it sitting on top of my xbox. Cannot wait.

[Robbie]

;6135532']*****.. Good luck NOT getting banned..

Got 2 xboxes anyway, had a flashed xbox since the days of Xtreme (no, not iXtreme) - so I know the risks and what to do to not get banned.

Just that my xbox I use for dodgy backups is still not banned.

[iDenning]

Not banned either, did you get MW2 off XBOX360ISO? Might get but dont wanna get banned xD

[StefanWolves]

brother just this second been banned. i haven't yet. watch out though. :O

[adaym]

I haven't been banned.

Probably because I play legal games.

[iDenning]

got MW2 ready to play, if i dont play on live i wont get banned, right?

[[Chris]]

got MW2 ready to play, if i dont play on live i wont get banned, right?

It depends.. there are a lot of theories on the NAND chip, So..

[Johno]

Apparently a theory is that if you power up the console to flash (rather than using like a CK3) then the console will log an E74 error and then the console sends this to M$.

Seems like it have some validity, I know my console was done without a CK3 and so was my friends (and they have both been banned).

[iDenning]

Extra thread info;

I got banned ;>

anyone else?

[GoldenMerc]

When did you get banned?

[StefanWolves]

I know four people with xbox's, three of them have been banned.

[iDenning]

When did you get banned?
just now as i logged on.

I know four people with xbox's, three of them have been banned.
yeh i think m$ have found something out tbh. I think alot of people will be getting banned.

[GoldenMerc]

Is it xboxs being banned, or the actual accounts?

[iDenning]

my console was banned from logging into live on ANY account. so accounts are fine i think its just console wont let me sign in on any account what so ever (on live)

[GoldenMerc]

Aslong as my account stays intact im happy

[lBlue]

M$ can detect FW. Got banned, if you ain't banned you will be.

Going to buy a arcade soonish. Having one banned console is always good though, no need for stealth and crap! Only need to buy three legit games in FIFA, COD and Forza.

[iDenning]

If I use my account on another console I will be OK wont I?

[StefanWolves]

Yeah, definitely. I got banned and just thought **** it - and bought an Elite.

[iDenning]

Yeah, definitely. I got banned and just thought **** it - and bought an Elite.
im tying to buy an xbox console alone without the hdd for 50quid. :P

[StefanWolves]

My dad is best mates with the manager at gamestation by us, so he sorted us out. ;)

My banned Xbox 360 for an Elite + COD MW2 for £70, couldn't resist. :P

[GoldenMerc]

does it screw up your xbox when you get banned, apparently it tarnish's it :(

[iDenning]

does it screw up your xbox when you get banned, apparently it tarnish's it :(
burns the xbox card or something, not sure about all details. However i was told it breaks a part so the xbox isnt capable of going online

[StefanWolves]

It corrupts your HD.

[iDenning]

It corrupts your HD.
What if i was to buy another HD?

[GoldenMerc]

thats stupid it currupts your hd :@

[iDenning]

Would another HD work though?

[StefanWolves]

Wouldn't be no point, your xbox would still be banned. Only answer is to buy a new xbox.

[iDenning]

Wouldn't be no point, your xbox would still be banned. Only answer is to buy a new xbox.
Ok thanks mate xD

They banned over 6000 people apparently.

[GoldenMerc]

wait, so what if i disconnect and just class myself as banned. because i dont want my xbox hd being screwed :(

[Oleh]

Your HD isnt screwed all the files are signed to your console which when banned the keyvault is blacklisted which makes you think your files are corrupt, if you resign them it will restore them

[iDenning]

What if I was to use my HD on another xbox?

[BoomItsClowgon]

Last time Microsoft caught modders was when they released halo 3 beta on crackdown now MW2 is out they are doing the same...

anyway to the point, it's a complete waste of time modding a xbox. If you can't afford to buy the games then don't bother owning one. If you don't get caught once the next batch of scans are done they you WILL be caught, why risk wasting £100 + and having to pay another £100 + in getting another one?

Apparently, "1 Million xbox users will be affected by the ban"

[Oleh]

Sure wish i could check see if my old flashed xbox was banned haha

You can use the HD on another xbox but would need to A recover your account B resign everything to the HD

[Alba]

My flashed Xbox Isn't banned. Not that I care, I have a spare online console + MW2 If I even did get banned, thats all I need right now.

Microsoft can now detect iXtreme, so It's only a matter of time till most people are banned.

[Oleh]

They can not detect IXtreme.

[StefanWolves]

All flashed Xbox's WILL be banned eventually. Apparantly 1,000,000 people have been banned according to the BBC. (If you trust the BBC that is.)

[BeanEgg]

cant u just change ur IP? or does that not work?

[iDenning]

cant u just change ur IP? or does that not work?
Doesnt work as xbox has serial number. plus it already corrupted so wouldnt make any difference.

[Frodo13.]

Your all getting off lightly in my opinion. Anyone with a flashed Xbox has basically committed a criminal offence.

[Flamedragon3]

I know about four people whose xbox's have all been banned. Luckily for me, I never flashed my xbox because I knew of the consequences etc. My mate offered to fix my xbox (which has been broken for 4 months) and to flash it for just £20 a month ago, thank god I said no. :P I've sent my xbox off last week and I'm expecting it in the next week or two. Good to have it back with no cost.

Oh and everyone with flashed xbox's will eventually all be caught. It also doesn't entirely depend if you play a game early before its release. One mate of mine without a flashed xbox, recieved CoD:MW2, five days before its due date of release. It was messed up though as the box was German with 'Not Available In The UK' on the back and the disc was just a massive age rating 18. I just feel sorry for my mate who has a chipped xbox and due to have is live account back up as it ran out a couple of weeks ago. Poor guy is gonna get banned immediately and only found out the worry today when one of my mates got banned last night. Guess there still banning people even now.

[lBlue]

They can not detect IXtreme.
Oh yes they can son.

Doesn't matter, if you've already on the list and you've went legit you're still going to be banned, this includes if you've played a game that wasn't patched properly.

I know about 10 people with flashed xbox's, 9 of them have been banned so far.
