    This will only work until the Modders figure out how to update their mods so they don't leave a signature on the network.

    It's a constant arms race.

    I see nothing wrong with this. It's in the terms of XBox Live that everyone signing up for the service agrees to... If you chose to ignore the rules then you get the banhammer...

    Hopefully people that have modded their 360's have had the foresight to know something like this would happen. I'd hate to lose access to my LIVE Arcade collection.

    But then again, my 360 isn't modded. Gooooo team "plain vanilla"!

    My 360 is modded, but I haven't connected to xbl in a couple months... I think this may cause that hiatus to go a bit longer.

    I my friends have a brain, I have had my xbox modded for years and play on xbox live everynight. Ive downloaded and copied over 70 games, laugh in microsofts face everyday. People get banned because they dont understand how it works and quite frankly they are total Idiots.

    How am i so successful, because i dont give a flying f**k

    Add me online : gamertag - ScottMclean1990

    Thats just how confident I f**kin am.

    Have fun playing outside.

    Just to clarifiy:

    You won't lose access to anything that you've purchased on LIVE.

    Microsoft only bans your console, I.E. it's specific ID. You can always buy a new one and transfer your existing LIVE account to it.

    Thank you for the clarification, RandomGuy. I've heard that this is true as well.

    I did also hear though that some people may have had problems with recovering all of their data from Xbox Live, which is why I held off on confirming whether or not the account was safe.

    There are some sites online that are claiming that there's a way that you can unban your Xbox, involving some shenanigans and access to an unbanned box. I thought about posting an article about it, but I figure Microsoft is in the right here, so I haven't. I sympathize with those that had their consoles banned, but they did break the rules.

    Dear Sir

    my modified 360 does not start playing some DVD games and when i put the DVD,It shows xbox logo.While i play some other games.
    Is that a region code problem?
    Is there any update to enable it playing?
    Recently I bought two DVD of Black Ops of free and NTSC but none of them doesnot play and after i push A button,It shows the logo.
    Please help me.I'm confused.

    So by not caring your XBox remains undetected.

    Cool story.

    Steam for PCs is free, and for almost all PC games there is free use of the internet... PC ftw.
