How save are stealth firmware ?

[Kiro73]

Is it save to flash the box with a stealth firmware, or is it still possible to get a M$ ban ?

It is still possible to get a ban. Nothing is safe. Using modded firmware/software is always going to carry a risk.

Yes no matter how good new FW's get it will never be 100% safe to play online

I thnk that there will defo be a big ban wave now this year, with the release of the 360 slim, Thing is though, the people behind the firmware recommended returning drives to stock BEFORE running any console updates. How many people do you think have actually done this?

in my opinion xbox know exactly whose consoles are flashed and only ban a token amount to satisfy software developers. They are quite happy with the income they get from xbox live. Last year they banned 1 million people which could of lost them ?5 million a month. Sure, some would of got new xbox's, however they must realise that they would of just flashed the new ones too.
