wow that sucks
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.
either way it doesnt really matter, my system is banned like all the other people its happened to. It wont be able to be used on LIVE again
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.
mine specifies, it says my console was banned.
“This console has been banned for violations of the Terms of USE. To protect the Xbox Live service and its members, Microsoft does not provide details about console bans. There is no recourse for Terms of Use violations.”
What FW were you running? If it’s not 1.6, that may be why. That sucks.
1.6
Hmm. Well I’ll still post the link when I get home.
It’s worth a shot just to double check.
just finished all the drag races, god that was painful.
drag races SUCK
finally got some success with forza auctioning, made 100g profit off a stock lambo… i put a cool italian flag color theme pj on it and sold it, after buying it for 90g’s sold it for 198 buyout
I should make a bunch of Ukrainian cars…I’m still waiting for a money glitch…the only track I truly enjoy racing is the Nurghbring or however you spell it.
I got banned too.
Status:
W: 0000-000B
X: 0000-000D
Y: 00A8-6800
Z: 8015-190D
ID: 000B-0000
Go to test your network Live connection…when it fails press Y for the status.
If your Z is 8015-190D, you’ve been banned.
ahhahaa
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.
still ur fault, just don’t complain about it lol.
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.
hey man check your PMs
