The gamertags were not banned only consoles. They started being able to detect the before undetectable iExtreme firmware. I personally had 4 banned. Good thing I had warranties on all them :) Also new iExtreme lite firmware comes soon hopefully :)

[c4eva] new fw in dev/test - ixtreme LT (Lite Touch) - more efficient , minimal patching , all aspects of fw indistinguisable from orig, no more bans, No ETA!

It's about time Microsoft started doing this but, its pointless

There is going to be another hack/firmware to get around this

Hackers are always going to be ahead, unfortunatly

exactly, MS is wasting there time, ms thought they could hide how they were detecting but the sad thing is the hackers are just to smart and figured it out and basically from what i have been told this is possibly gunna put a stop to them detecting it the way they are without inspecting every console individually

If its not connected to the internet you wont get caught/banned

I believe they find out when you run system updates

HA! Serves em right. Unfortunate for the banned ones, but in the greater scheme of things it is good I suppose.

And goose, if you aren't on the net you won't get caught, but it doesn't matter, if you take your system off the internet so it doesn't get caught it is the same as having the ban anyway and if you do connect then it will get banned straight away, it is a lose lose situation

So maybe dumb question... But if I switched my 360 cases would that constitute as an illegal mod? I've been looking at possibly doing this but sounds a little iffy now.

And go msoft for cracking down on these a-holes!

no, you can't play illegal games with a different case, and microsoft can't detect what colour plastic is surrounding their hardware.

Hell, they even sell different cases, they can hardle then say to people that bought them that bceause they bought them there accounts will be banned. I think you would be safe to use a new case :good:

How are they doing this? I always believed console discs were near impossible to copy, take the ps3 disc with the ring near the centre of the disc, it reads playstation 3 in shiny silver. Is this not its security so people can just copy games for the fun of it.

Now I dont know if Xbox 360 have this on their disc (they probably do), but you would have to be remarkably clever to get around that surely.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, it just blows my mind how people are clever enough to get around such a system.

the discs are checked on xbox consoles, but it is by the drive itself. You can buy other xbox drives that bypass this feature, so you can use any disc

Ahh, I understand, still though pretty clever - just shows the extent in which people are willing to go to screw MS.

Anyone reckon this will happen to the Ps3 eventually or does the ps3 have other security checks? (I'm guessing not)
