Any of you nogs played it yet? Got it on download, but seems like a lot of people are getting banned off it so tempted to just buy.

bryantaylor · « **Reply #1 on:** November 08, 2009, 03:10:28 PM »

i just started playing it, pretty cool.

but i think MS can read firmware with the last update, i have NEVER played anything early and use ABGX on level 3 and i still got banned the other day.

I agree MS might be able to read the firmware now. I was against this idea completely until the most recent ban wave. Everybody is getting banned, not just for MW2, people who haven't even played backups are getting banned.

I got banned the other day, and just finished unbanning myself with a little "out of the box" thinking.. haha

I paid 220 for my xbox retail, if I want to PAY to play it online, then i should be allowed to do so. I don't let corporations tell me what I can or cannot do with something AFTER I buy it. Once my old console makes its way back to m$, they will unban it and sell it as refurb.

It's funny how they usually ban consoles right around Christmas. Am I seeing a correlation here?

also, I would keep it as an offline for backups, but I'm buying one already modded and banned for $70.. crazy cheap!

So how can you say fuck MS?

~~I wonder if it's something to do with the Wave 4 junk?~~

So they say once you are on the list you are on no matter if you come online or stay off. So I say fuck it and go try. Won't connect to internet. I'm like FUCK and run test....cable was unplugged

Run connection test again: Console Banned page pops up....oh well was a good run. Been modded for years now and never payed for Live anyways, hell bought the 360 on eBay so MS never got any of my cash. Now I can play games as early as I want. Might just pick up another cheap one that is broke or banned on eBay to.....fix....for future online play.

MAJORAHOLE · « **Reply #14 on:** November 09, 2009, 12:26:27 PM »

ive been thinkin about flashing mine, but dont want to get banned.
anyone know if i can flash it to play burned games, then flash back to play online again? in theory i would think it would work

bigwig · « **Reply #15 on:** November 09, 2009, 12:32:40 PM »

I just bought this game, extra wired controller, and Xbox Arcade from Walmart. I also have another Xbox Arcade coming from Amazon because of the good deals this weekend.

Anyone want an Arcade for a reasonably good price? Once I get it in the mail, I'll probably put up a FS post.

I'm thinking not. I don't think they can read the firmware, if they could EVERY modded console ever connected to live would be banned, but not the case. I think it's something the console is storing and then sending when connected to Live. My console has been offline, plugged it in and bam banned, so it's not anything to do with the Wave 4 crap or anything here recent. Just keep an eye out for a banned one on eBay or craigslist and pick it up on the cheap to play modded games. They ban the console not the profile.

when you got banned did it have the oem firmware?

Doug · « **Reply #18 on:** November 09, 2009, 01:37:41 PM »

No I'm running iX 1.6, but I don't think it has anything to do with the firmware. If it does then I'm sure it also stores if it has been changed at any point. Like I said just pick up a banned one on the cheap that's already modded.

No clue. I used the three free one month new profiles that came on the 360, and my brothers 3 for his, then had some one month cards. I don't play much online. Only World at War and Halo 3

nope, MS can see the firmware now. there are a good bit of people that have just flashed theirs and haven't even played anything yet and still got banned.

MAJORAHOLE · « **Reply #23 on:** November 09, 2009, 04:48:17 PM »

booo!
well i've got 2 xbox's to fix at home anyway, i guess i"ll just fix and flash one of those

bigwig · « **Reply #24 on:** November 09, 2009, 05:30:44 PM »

So the thinking with 2 units is, buy the games you want to play online legit and then use the other unit to play any other game you might want but have no interest in playing online?

Either way, it sounds like you are buying Modern Warefare. If you are, Amazon/Walmart/ToysRUs and a few other stores are offering $20 GCs for buying the games. I got mine from Walmart because I had some Walmart money. It probably won't come for a few days, but oh well.

I thought the big deal with Xbox was the online play through XBL....are the other services comparable?

jagojon3 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 09, 2009, 08:06:49 PM »

Not really, but I haven't used them.

Urban Indian · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2009, 08:07:05 AM »

I went online the day that everyone was getting banned. I never got banned.

But I am not going to test it until I go and get mine reflashed with the new firmware. Fuck MS
