178w ago - The inevitable has happened according to a multi-page thread on XBox-Scene (linked above), it appears Microsoft is now beginning to ban homebrew XBox 360 consoles running
freeBOOT or
XBReboot from XBox LIVE.
This move comes just under two months from their last
XBL ban wave, and while there are guides to
unban your XBox 360 from LIVE and to
prevent XBox 360 HDD crippling, it appears the safest route if you use XBox 360 homebrew is to simply keep the console off XBL.
To quote from
-DeToX-: "Well.. it seems new bans have been handed out, just now.
I just have over 7 people with XBR/FreeBOOT consoles report to me that they have been banned, and I as well have. However, anyone who played hacked games with these people remain untouched.
I was playing MW2, when I was disconnected from live. I went back to dash, and I was able to sign back in. Restarted, and I could still sign in at the dash. I turned it off.. Waited 5 minutes. Tried to sign in, console ban..
Good job Microsoft, bout time you disallowed this to be on Xbox Live."
Which is the latest and best CFW? I am currently still on 3.55 and I'm tired of waiting for eboot fixes. To which CFW should I update?...
it's easier then detect a dvd mod, they can check by md5 or any other hash.. or they can check the CB and test if this console is a retail or dev console.
Really, i never thought MS cannot detecta Xell moded console. Do you really believe in Santa?
