Why on Earth would you BUY a 360 and NEVER play ONLINE with it? Thats like buying a PC and not getting internet service. I dont even want to know that logic of thinking.

Second, this is Nforce- It is a scene 'release' site. So, ofcourse, People will be PISSED because their flashed 360's are banned! This isnt xbox.com. C'mon folks!
So - You mean to tell me you visit this site so you can see what games are out and then go run and buy them????? OK., I got to stop now...I cant go on..

Some of these replies here just make me wonder..


You do realise that some people have too much of a life to spend hours on each video game. I for one don't have the time get pissed off by 11 year old americans that decide they've learn't how to swear. Online play just pisses me off.

Mine is not a launch console, and I have not been banned.

What is XBox360 strongest selling point that is Better than anything else -PS3, WII, even a PC?

Isnt it ONLINE Play? Microsoft did a great job on making online gaming easy and fun.

I dont know. If I wanted to play single player all the time, I would have stuck with a PC or a Wii.

Getting back to the Ban,

I think Microsoft purposely held off on releasing this update for several reasons. But mainly, to gain an audience. So many people bought a 360 because they can go online for free and not buy games. So, MS figures- let us give them a taste. Just a sample. Get people who would not have bought the system to begin with a chance to see what we got. Then Bamm! Ban it. Microsoft now hopes you go out, buy a 2nd console, and now buy all the games. I think its a great strategy on their part...If thats what really went down.

I don't care what the SELLING POINT is. All I did was give you a reason why someone would NOT play on Live.

I have one of those but how can launch consoles not be banned? How are they different?

Not sure I believe that.

I heard they had been monitoring the situation and randomly selected several users that they wouldn't ban and instead take legal action. Might be wrong dude. Sad

Keep a firmwared xbox for single player and another for genuine online play?

Xbox MP ain't all that great to be honest, i'm pretty sure it's all peer to peer shit, and in europe our live service is shit anyway, we don't get half the HD trailers the yanks do etc.

heres possible reasons, just speculating based on what I have

firmware 5.3( can it be MS got to this guy and made him insert code to help detect modded 360s???)
Halo 3 beta from a backed up crackdown copy.
play multi on Xbox live with a backup
spoofed firmware, ms25 reporting as ms28 and others
non stealth backups when signed in to Live


feel free to add ur possiblities including conspiracy theories!!!

lol me too, I've read though like 6 pages of comments on teh link posted above. Kinda funny to see all them getting hyped over stupid shit. Ya uh..hello, you broke the user agreement now your banned, good job...but then again seeing all these people canceling their accounts with M$...ya this is making me laugh a good one.


The funniest shit I read is all the banned kids trying to like, hurt Microsoft by calling all their friends with Live and getting them to cancel... lol, no legit person gives a fuck about warez kids, but they are like trying to start a movement. It's too funny. And then they are trying to justify the fact that they blatantly steal from Microsoft and their gaming partners, oh man, I can't take it, this is like Christmas.


Me too, this shit is comedy at its best. Noone cares about warez kiddies, and i now feel live will be a better place. Wont have to mute so many retards.

But firmware < 5.2 consoles are banned too.

Nope, People have been banned without even downloading halo 3.

Maybe, MS could have a way of checking if the disc is unique eg "scene" release copys will not be unique on live.

No.

Phew, glad I didnt buy that Xeno Top Gear now and flash my 360 Smile

Think I will be sticking legal with the 360 as everyone at work has a 360 and we usually have multiplayer games on live, if no one had a 360 at work then I wouldnt be bothered about live as much..

sad part is the warez kiddies are the 16-18 year old "l33t" guys with no life and no future! but the 11-14 year old self important kiddo jerks will still be around, with their shrill girlie voices and their attempts to be loud and ghetto!!!

Never have a I felt so good for having a totally legit 360 + games, hahaha. Very Happy

Sorry to hear peeps here are having a tough time, but reading all the kids crying in the other forums, I honestly love it. Very Happy



i couldn't give a fuck about not having live - i'm sure i'll manage having to play every single decent game backup offline while you spend out buying em all just to be able to play online hahaha Very Happy

as another poster said, online play or ALL GAMES FREE? i know what i choose, so fuck u m$ hehehe


Yeah it's going to be funny when they integrate the detection system into the latest games. Remember, some games require you to update the dash before play, so it's not very far fetched. Laughing

Thats the thing I dont understand, If they can detect these consoles why did they not add offline detection into the spring update?

Makes you wonder if they can only detect over server side? Confused

Well it seems they timed it to coincide with the Halo beta release to get the biggest effect.
