> [@JayS](#): > > I’m 99% sure it’s a problem with all versions of the ixtreme firmware. c4eva pretty much admitted that when he said the new version of ixtreme he’s working on, called ixtreme LT or “light touch”, will have the bare minimum differences with stock firmware and will stop the bans. > > Part of that dashboard update we all installed a couple weeks ago had some sort of test that gets run on the DVD drive and it flags you for banning. Tons of people have reported hearing the drive go through this test because it’s a sound the drive doesn’t normally make just reading disks. > > It sounds like they aren’t willing to ban on a single fail, probably for fear of banning legit consoles. So it gets logged and soon enough the error 54424 gets set in the support system and the next time it fails the check bam, ban hammer. > > It’s pretty clear that they are spooling the bans, probably to avoid overwhelming their tech support lines with script kiddies who modded with no clue of the consequences. yea i was reading a bit on XBOX scene yesterday. hopefull this will be resolved ---

so, what would be cheap for a banned box? I never play my old xbox, and only wanted one for Halo. But, If I could play new stuff for cheap, I might be interested.
