New Xbox LIVE Ban Wave

New Xbox LIVE Ban Wave?
>> Seems like reports on our forums are indicating Microsoft has a new (console) ban wave on Xbox LIVE ...
Right now we don't have a lot of details/information, but if you have a modified DVD firmware we suggest you stay off LIVE for now.


Reported in numerous places

so does this suggest iextreme 1.4 is detected?

Rumour has it that it's down to pre-release games being played , another rumour is that it is the seed4me iso's that are to blame , Fallout 3 & Quantum of Solace

Everyone is being advised to wipe all saved games off hard drive / memory card and stay off Xbox live untill the reason is confirmed

I can confirm one banned 360 today in this house.

So what I need to know is what way does it all work, can my son go on another 360 with his current hdd, does anything need deleted, what happens with achievements for game which you played pre release date ???

No m8, i not sure what the names are, it was 20gb one...is that premium or something ???

Luckily i dont play any games before release dates so in that aspect it should be safe.
I am not really looking forward to my elite being banned, so i think i niice disconnect for awhile might be needed.

Ive updated my box with the leaked NXE i can't connect to live but im not getting a banned status code. So hopefully i just cant connect till november 19th when NXE is released, and im not banned. im on a flashed benq with 1.4

I know a couple people who are not banned using ix 1.4
Ive heard that 1.4 is not yet detected. But the review copys of games (mainly Fallout 3 and Gears 2) are to blame for the bans, as people were playing fallout 3 while still connected to Live.

Anyone know how long it took to determine the cause after the last ban wave?

Why do people do it ? Why do they insist on playing the games before release date, with hard drives plugged in but especially online....because all they are doing is getting themselves and everyone else potentially banned.

It's annoying because it's not like they can't play the games and yet they insist on having everything plugged in and playing it before it's officially released aswell....then we get wave attacks of bannings and people wonder why.

i posted the nxe leak here, it mentions that u cant sign in to live til 19th

[loncell]

i have 2 x 360's on live and both are fine on ixtreme1.4.its nothing to do with the FW but the games ppl are playing before release date and review copies.

try googling for "abgx360" then check your iso's for stealth before playing.also select level 3 within the program , this should help.also i cant understand why people are basically lying just to shiit people up saying " i've never been on live then i bought a original COD5 and got banned".

this is utter bullocks but i suggest you do wipe 360 HD's if your unsure what games you tried in the past.

watch ur language dude
EDIT: Maybe Not

He hasn't said anything offensive and he does have a point about them people who lie saying they got banned from an original game....nobody gets banned for nothing it's almost always people who were stupid enough to play a game copy before release date with their hard drives and internet cables plugged in and on xbox live and they were caught and banned for it. End of story.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

i never said he mentioned anything offensive..
im just saying that as it may come under the catorgry of swearing.
just to be safe
