Millions knocked out from Xbox Live, millions consoles banned was never so easy takedown Microsoft in a console war.

So you think this will give Sony the lead? Wow, and I thought that Sony fans still had some rationale left in them.

I think Microsoft did really underestimate the quantity of users with modded consoles. Let's just hope that the banning to innocent people doesn't get worse.

Actually, I hope the ban EVERYONE, or at least A LOT of non-modded 360's

Then they'll be forced to unban everyone...

...

They don't ban entire computers that use pirated copies of windows.

Not yet, anyhow... :shifty:

It would be nice to see them crack down on the pirated XP and Vista installs like they seem to do here.

I found this on bungie.net's news:

If you get an error message "Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D" it means you are done playing Xbox Live on that console. Congrats.

Yes, my 360 has "Z: 8015 - 190D".

I went to Best Buy today and I ALMOST bought a new 360... I was VERY tempted.

Then i thought to myself, this may be the perfect opportunity to get rid of all my 360 gear. I may buy a 360 again in September when halo 3 comes out :)

I think this is quite a good thing, serves those who modded their console right. Those who want to play online should have to buy the game, i personally don't give a crap if you mod your 360 or any other console just so long as you don't think you deserve the same right to play online with pirated games. I modded my original xbox, and i never took it online once, nor did i ever expect to be able to. This was just a long time coming, sorry that some people actually feel they've been wronged if they modded their console.

But now even if you buy the game you cant play it online :cry:

But if you pay for Xbox Live $60.00 a year? So what if you have a game back up? If xbox live was FREE!!! Then I would understand to ban people for having modded 360?s but when you buy a xbox 360 you don?t get xbox live for free you have to fork over some $$!

I got banned and I don't even have a modded 360...

I was playing Territories on Valhalla and suddenly *pop* disconnected from Live. I run tests and everything worked fine except for Xbox Live. I went for more info and there it is... wtf is going on?

Call Microsoft support then.

so we have non-modded consoles getting locked out? that's great!

ok this thread got too long and a bit on the ridiculous side, especially with people i know to be intelligent like Nashy making fools of themselves. What the hell was that with the big bold highlights from the agreement? what are you, quoting the Nuremberg race laws or something? take it easy and maybe sympathize a little with the people on your side, you know, the users?

Heyo's right. MS needs to be a bit more graceful in handling something like this. i don't mod and i don't pirate, but having users think that some flimsy agreement overrules the law is alarming. and it seems the regional coding is also confused as law? omg you guys are daft! that's under WTO assessment as we speak.

anyway, MS uses local laws as a reason to limit Marketplace access etc, but ignores local law when it comes to other issues? isn't that hypocritical?

and what worries me most is the sneaking suspicion that many people here are literally AFRAID of Microsoft and thus compelled to take their side. Are we seeing self censorship of posts now? if that's the case, they can have their 360 and the almost twice that much i put into software and Live by now.

If you didn't mod your console and got banned, couldn't you just send it in to prove to them it's legit? Would probably even get some free stuff out of the deal for the false accusation. At least I know I would sure as hell demand free stuff.

Well I called Xbox Support about my situation and they basically told me to wait it out in 2-3 days as MS is trying to fix the problem. He said that if it doesn't get fixed within the next 2-3 days, I'm pretty much out of luck. I didn't know what to say then so I just politely thanked him and hung up as bitching about couldn't have done anyone any good...

I do hope they fix it, I'm not about to shell out another 500 bucks for another 360. I'm on my second console too.

well... all I can say is that not even one of the casualties on this war is "innocent" every one and single console that got banned was tampered in some way or another and we already know of a lot of people trying to revert the process... and you know what? you can take us to court whenever you want, we will probe you're lying and we will counter any of those lawsuits and will laugh our asses as hard as we can when you get jail time for all the stupid things you did... go ahead, make my day!

thanks god the system works, somehow but it still works!

Are you banning for things like fan mods,?case?mods and cooling mods as well? If so, I don't think that's fair at all. Poeple put a lot of work into those, and they shouldn't be banned for just making thier console look better and run better. What is "tampered" in your eyes?

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
