LOL! About people playing a game that isn't released yet.....while plugged into xboxlive. Listen....you cannot be plugged into xboxlive while playing a game that isn't out yet. Stealth and Firmware have nothing to do with it. Simply unplug your Ethernet cable then play. When the game is released then you are worry free.

Rickets (2008-11-11)

Yup, u can't play a game that isn't out yet, use your brains.
BTW this torrent is just a song file.
"/monkeyman at the control-killer deffos remix.mp3 4.32 MiB"
It doesn't belong here, it would be nice if it was removed.

Good job I've one console for playing stuff from here and another console for xbl :)

Rickets (2008-11-11)

I do appreciate the heads up though. Not sure about this "banwave" but it's nice to know.
Thanks....

martin8878 (2008-11-11)

yep mate of mine been banned today

Rickets (2008-11-11)

It might be something to do with Gears2... did you get that and play it at all?

Phlegeton (2008-11-11)

I play everything online since more than a year, but after it has been officially released. No problem here, and if u get banned, there is somekind of "kit" with which u can fix ur banning and go online again.

Ban wave is real i got Booted on the 9'th, lucky for me it was only a week short of the end of my 12 month's. and i was not playing a game that is not out yes. so maybe hang back a bit for the rest of the month.

"theromman" is a complete dumbass, do not listen to this ass-head! He has no clue how Microsoft bans. People need to realize that no matter how many times you unplug your ethernet cable. You moron, it logs on your 360 regardless and then uploads it on Xbox Live without you knowing. So stop spreading old rumors that are now known to be bullshit. Microsoft will know whether you like it or not.
They're Microsoft, they're not dumb. It's just they only ban so many people when the ban waves come. And yes they just started a new ban wave as of tody or yesterday. So pray and hope that you're not on the list.

EnVyMoNtOyA (2008-11-11)

do any of you have the NXE? or does anyone know if anyone that is using NXE that has been banned? cause i have it but i obviously i havent been online since i got it but i did play gears a few days early so should i not connect on the 19th? should i wait till december?

novem212005 (2008-11-11)

For the last time I will tell people, no matter if you play offline or online, you're still gonna be flagged. Everything you do on your 360 is secretly logged and uploaded to Microsoft no matter if you play under random bullshit profiles or not. IT STILL UPLOADS ALL THE INFO TO MICROSOFT. PERIOD! The only way around it is to not mod your 360.
I modded my 360, so I'm willing to take that chance. So no more comments about unplugging the ethernet cable, playing under different profiles and swapping hard drives because none of it will work!!!!! Use your fucking heads...man...I hate explaining the obvious to people.

sebastiansson (2008-11-11)

lol... I cant be banned... I have the NME chip 2.0 ;)

stevenstre (2008-11-11)

If you play a game that hasn't been released yet and earn any sort of achievement, it logs on your hard drive the date and time your earned that achievement. Way too easy for microsoft to monitor that.
If you must play early, you get a memory card for your saves and unplug your hdd. When the game goes live, you just load the save file, then save a new game on your hdd. You will have to forfeit any achievements earned.

stevenstre (2008-11-11)

Looks like a lot of people were getting banned from GOW2 any or Fable2 wii60 ver. With bad SS sectors. Mulleter fixed those things for me, but I doubt everyone runs their games through mulleter.

wolverinevsx23 (2008-11-12)

After supporting Xbox for 7 strong years going back to the Xbox days, I bought and paid retail price for all my games (47 for Regular Xbox, 29 for Xbox 360, Xbox Live Gold Member for 6+ years, 40+ XBLA games, and whatever additional content I bought...expansions, map packs, etc). All the games I own are Limited Edition version if they were made for that specific game.
Now I try to log on Xbox Live earlier and it tells me I have been banned and violated the Terms Of Service...What??? Why am I banned? I cannot even download or redeem my Gears Of War 2 Flashback Map Pack...and still have over a year left on my Xbox Live Gold Membership
I called Microsoft Support and talked to a Customer Support Agent and they could not further assist me so I had to goto his boss or superviser. They told me they cannot do anything for me and told me buy another system anotherwards. What kind of support is this, seriously? I've been getting the run around and actually have three different reference numbers. For record, look at my collection in the first paragraph...Owning all that and getting banned for no reason. That's totally wrong!
This is the story of my horrible Xbox 360 experience. I will never buy a Microsoft Xbox product again. Microsoft really made me upset and flagged me as a cheater when I am not.

martin8878 (2008-11-12)

Call.Of.Duty.World.At.War.X360-Allstars is the reson y ppl are getting banned its nuked.
bad.iso.causes.you.to.get.banned

Rickets (2008-11-12)

Someone pointed the finger at Seed4me release "Fallout3" and said it is at fault because it logs on your xbox memory that it isn't a retail version, but rather a review.
AND BAM
But that could be a stretch... still, it's time to step it up.

ray1224 (2008-11-12)

Ok guys, here is why you are getting banned. When you play a game (online or offline) you get achievements. The system records the date and time you get these achievements. The next time you connect to Xbox Live, those achievements get uploaded to the Xbox Live Servers so your friends can see them. If you play a game before it's release date, your achievements will be uploaded with the early dates. This informs Microsoft you have a modded console and they ban you. IF YOU PLAY A GAME BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE, YOU WILL GET BANNED. EVEN IF YOU PLAY OFFLINE!!!!!! It's not the only way they catch you, but it works!!

Rickets (2008-11-12)

^Many people have never played a game before release and don't even download games and they still got banned.

stevenstre (2008-11-13)

I'm guessing it's from Gears 2.
the x360int version has been nuked. It needs a .svf fix that you have to get.

ITisNeil (2008-11-14)

I have downloaded 360 games from here and I was wondering...do you think I should wait until the new Xbox dashboard comes out on 360 on Nov 19?

Rickets (2008-11-14)

Itisneil, it doesn't matter.
If you played a bad rip or have old firmware your xbox's on board memory will tattle on you.
At least that's what I've seen and read.

krille__1986 (2008-11-16)

i got banned and i played NHL 09 with the latest firmware 1.4 so this about not to play any allstars shit it's just not true, and ofcourse you can not be plugged in to xboxlive when playing new releases that are not ou, and woho my english fu***ng rocks yeah :D
