Yes, you're being watched.
Edit: apparently Newegg has shipped alot of copies already, so even if you get banned blame Newegg. They stopped shipping though.

so i guess it would be better to wait for a stealth release, right?

do not be an idiot please! you will be banned from xboxlive for this release if it is not patched correctly, not for playing it early. No body ever gets banned for playing games early, just for pirated copies.

If I got my 360 flashed (didn't do it myself) around christmas, would I have iXtreme 1.4? Also, can you play this without it, or will it not even start?

As long as you got some version of iXtreme it will work.. (even without it, you will never be 100% safe against XBL ban)

Hm.. I'm most likely already tagged for banning from playing both Saints Row 2 (the review copy) and Fallout 3. Will this work for coop with people who bought the game?
Thanks for the reply about iXtreme.

Pretty sure if you have the latest FW your ok with the Kreon rips. The newest fw will not report back what Msoft was looking for. At least that's how I understand it.

From 1.4 release notes
A new release of ixtreme firmware, for all versions of drive (except v78/79 hitachi, which maximus will release shortly)..
Features
(v1.4) Disc jitter fix
Note: Everyone is wondering why people were getting banned a few weeks back. Here is a short summary of our speculation:
There are specific timers within the challenge/response protocol that may be checked by MS to determine as criteria for banning. We believe they are measuring one or more to find discrepancies. While a lot of this is speculation, and a lot of data is inaccurate as far as replication due to different mechanics, there may be specific timers that can be easily read. One that we are focusing on has to do with the degree's of disc rotation, which will generate a sum (0,90,180,270) and embed that data within the Security Sector file. Now, we recently have noticed a change within games in regards to that Challenge/Response timer.
We recently found out that new games ripped with kreon drives will give back a degree, that in combination with ixtreme jitter, will produce a 360 degree value. This would be a unacceptable range (should only be 0-359). This is a detectable and possibly a criteria for the recent ban waves. Also, this would explain why some users got banned playing the same games that others played, and did not get banned. The point of jitter is to randomly give back proper values. With that in mind, a random jitter value from a kreon drive, with a random jitter from a ixtreme drive will rarely give back a 360 degree value. This new ixtreme will wrap that value to ensure that no 360 degree value can be submitted.
Now, a note of recommendation, due to statistical findings. We have spent days ripping *thousands* of security sector's with various drive/software combinations and have come to the following:
The most accurate/valid SS replication is done with a samsung drive using Schtrom 360 xtract or XBC. So far, we have seen only a very small percentage of 6701 rips in comparison to kreon. Now, given that, i think it is important to inform that this value was previously normal with older games. It may or may not be normal with *every* new game, but with some so far.
So, if you are planning on backing up your purchased games, please try to use samsung with schtrom 360 xtract or XBC for the most reliable replica possible!!!! This *could* mean the difference from being banned on xbox live, or not.
Now, as always, remember that you are modifying your console *at your own risk*. If you make a backup of your game and play it on xbox live, you will always run a risk of getting your console banned.
This release also comes with firmtool 1.2, here is the changelog:
- Added support for Samsung ms19
- Added prompt for Samsung firmware to copy version strings.
This will allow for those who want their ms25,ms21,or ms19 to report as a ms28.
- Added Xtreme/iXtreme version detection in the hacked source
- Added extra check of BenQ key range for odd BenQ firmware revisions
- Rewrote firmware and version detection. Works properly with all spoofed firmware.
- Added spoofed firmware detection

Just take the risk and play it dammit. "Stealth" and all the other "security" measures are only there to give you a false sense of security. No one exactly knows how MS bans, so no one can tell you you're 100% safe. Most of us will probably be banned with the coming update anyway. We took a risk the moment we screwed around with the FW.

Solutions is simple:
Pull the ethernet cable/usb from wifi module.
Your xbox will most definetly not connect to live!

. And as I said, Newegg shipped early, some people have their copies in their hands. Even Lionhead and MS know it, that's probably why Newegg stopped shipping. Unless it's a bad rip, it should be safe to play before release.
