Default microsoft banning xbox live accounts

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/12/cnet.xb....ban/index.html

microsoft is now detecting the firmware and banning. i myself have one that was banned already and have another console that isnt banned yet but is modded. i personaly know at least 5 people that have been banned. i also have heard from a handfull of people that were modded and hadnt even played a burn game yet... not even to test it and they got banned.

im hopeing my current xbox slips through this ban wave but i have a feeling it will come. ill then give microsoft another 200 bux

xbox-scene.com

plenty to read on there

So they are cracking down on modded 360s as well? Sucks.

Wow, about 1 in 20 people banned? Pretty crazy. That's a lot of modded 360's.

The only banning people that mod their 360s to play games that were burned.

I modded my original xbox and burnt games to play. In the end I found myself more obsessed with he downloading or copying of the games then actually playing them.
