Know there are quite a few of you with modded consoles on here. Just got a call from a friend saying he was banned. Always stealth checked his games through ABGX, never played pre-release games. My 360 was signed in to live at the time so I shut it off, but if I’ve done something to be detected it will already be stored and just waiting for the ban batch to get to me.

somehow I got lucky and have both a PS3 and a XBOX360. I like the PS3 much better and I play free games on the xbox lol Besides Gears of War there’s nothing I really want it for. Killzone 2 has become my favorite shooter. Crossing my fingers that I wont get banned however, lots of friends play COD on the XBOX. ---

Will all of you shut the fuck up about “PS3 is better”, “no xbox is better”. No one gives a shit and a bunch of fanboy cock stroking wasn’t what I created this thread for. ---

i figured a nice wave of bans would happen around now with COD coming out. ---

Well, my brother in law’s still hasn’t been banned. I guess I’ll toss my modded on back on the network and see what happens. I still haven’t seen any good theories as to what caused the bans. Last time it was a bad rip of Saints Row 2 and Gear 2 that was floating around. One friend who has a modded console and got banned hasn’t played any burns other than NHL 10 and Beatles Rock Band, neither of which were pre-release rips. ---

360mods seems to think it’s a pre-release play issue. NHL 10, modern warfare 2, and forza 3 seem to be main culprits. I’ve been playing a shit ton of NHL 10 but didn’t get it early, will have to check tonight. ---

Yeah, my friend who got banned has never played anything pre-release though. Not just he didn’t play it with the network cable disconnected like some people wrongly believe is safe either. He flat out has never played a game until a couple days after the release date. I’ve seen a few people speculating it’s ABGX and it’s “auto-patch”. For all the theories I’ve seen so far that one makes the most sense. ---

oh, also hacking your gamerscore seems to be one of the triggers. They probably banned for like 5 or 6 things at once if I know M$ to try to make it look more random. Meh, even if I am banned, Walmart is selling 360 Arcades on Saturday for $199 with a $100 gift card. Two games makes it worth it. ---

I still haven’t seen anyone who makes their own backups using a kreon drive get banned. I’m really leaning toward a bunch of bad stealth files in ABGX and all those people who have been patching images basically painted a bullseye on their console for MS. ---
