you should really stop talking about things to which your not sure of. The fact of the matter is that NOBODY knows whats causing the bans. The original creator of Iextreme, C4EVA, is running some tests on various xbox’s to see if he can find anything.

Truth of the matter is, Yea, microsoft found a way to find out if they box has been modified.

One of my boxes got banned, I’m not gonna play any new wave 4 games until they figure out a workaround to this new ban wave.
