Now im really fucked What was the reason? Is your game burned? What are your Live Status codes (when it errors cause it can not connect)? Give me those and I’ll tell you if it’s your gamertag/profile or console. My console ended up NOT being banned, just my gamertag/profile. ---

There is no status codes, it says my console has been banned due to terms of use. Yes i have a modded console. They have done 2 large waves of banning modded consoles over the last 2 weeks. I know a few people who have gotten the boot. ---

Hopefully I don’t get the boot (again). I re-stealth patched my game after the first ban. And this time I only paid a month of Gold live in case it happened again so Iwouldn’t be out $50 or whatever it was. There is always a status code. When I get home, I’ll find the link that shows you how to do it. ---

Not unless your status code says it’s your profile. My message said I was banned too…didn’t specify. Turned out, after some research, it was just my account. ---

I’m gonna go ahead and say you deserved EVERY bit of your banning. Step 1: Play Forza 3 online weeks before it comes out in USA. Step 2: Get User ID banned. Step 3: Create new user ID and continue playing illegal copy of game. Step 4: Console banned. You should’ve learned a lesson the first time. ---

This 2nd ban has nothing to do with Forza. MS has figured out a way to scan the firmware of the DVD-ROM from what I have been reading, meaning if your FW was touched for ANY reason, you run the risk of being banned. They do these bans in waves to make people go out and buy another XBox. They aren’t stupid. It’s almost Christmas shopping time. ---

I’m not complaining. I just said I was also banned. I make enough money to go out and buy another XBox. Not really that big a deal. This one is like 2 months old, just gotta see if anyone wants it for $100 or so. Works flawlessly…except for the Live part. lol. ---
