HI GUYS
iv just been chatting with a m8 that works for virgin instalation
he got his xbox flashed of of a guy who works there as did 23 other people
who ALL got banned from xboxlive yesterday (uk)
he said that he has forza3,cod6 and pretty much ever other game
like all his m8s they buy from the guy who flashed them and anywhere else (carboots)
some unplugged the hdd and some didnt ? but all got banned !
im very shocked to here of a ban wave so localised, quite gutted for them but
its there own fault, i mean who in there right mind would buy a copy from a carboot ?

its made me think twice about turning mine on but as i do not buy anything from
this guy or any carboot and havent played those games yet
(i could but why spoil my pre-paid waiting buzz)

oh while writing this my son has turned it on and we are still rocking on live

me and 9 others i flashed got banned. US

no early play, no activate disc.

IX1.6 all kreon rips from in hand.

so what now? is there going to be a good ix so we can be safe back online?

1 of the consoles out of about 20 have been banned that ive flashed
Was an xbox elite running 1.6ixtreme for a lite on drive
Never used the activate disk either
I really do think M$ has a way of detecting the fw

Well I've been noticing that a lot of people have gotten banned playing legit and illegitimate copies of COD4. So it's really weird.

that cant be the case or all of the consoles that have a flash drive would be banned
so far (knock on wood) none of mine are banned yet
nor any of my people (A Lot of people)

I've modded over 200 consoles and so far only three of my customers have come back to me saying banned. One guy was banned while in the middle of a match on COD4. So there's something that they've caught on to it's just a matter now of figuring out what.
