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?

    • Sure is a shame that Google spent all of its efforts on maximizing milking ###### ad revenue instead of actually improving their once ubiquitous and best-in-class search engine with, say, a useful AI that could actually improve search results... /S
    • The blatant anti-competitive nature of the EU's DMA rules are obscenely IRONIC and wholly damaging to upwards innovations from within the EU. Why?! Because it penalizes marketplace competitors whom the users CHOOSE to sign contracts with (basically dictating the product management models and strategies whilst handicapping popular marketplace choices) all under the guise of 'fair competition' and assuring continued operations. The only beneficiary (as the DMA is written and applied) are the toxic wannabes with whom most consumers have chosen to NOT do business with! What kind of bass-ackwards nonsense is that?! Not everyone in the marketplace that's lower-ranked deserves some sort of advantage whilst being otherwise garbage and toxic. Ugh, so dumb.
    • Assetto Corsa Competizione, House Flipper 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings in three games for Xbox players to try out, and they are House Flipper 2, Blades of Fire, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Unlike in recent weeks, no games from this selection are being offered without a Game Pass subscription this time. This means only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can jump into the three titles, even if they are single-player. From the trio, House Flipper 2 is for simulation fans. The title lets you buy run-down properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. A sandbox mode even lets you build houses from scratch too. Next, Blades of Fire lands as a fantasy adventure that combines metroidvania exploration with punishing combat. One unique aspect is that instead of finding loot, you'll be physically forging your own weapons. Lastly, we go back to simulators with Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the hit racing title offering a hardcore, highly competitive racing game focused entirely on GT3 and GT4 class cars. Everything from the tracks and tire physics to the dynamic weather conditions are focused on giving players an authentic driving experience. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: House Flipper 2 (Xbox Series X|S) Blades of Fire (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 28, at 11:59 pm PT.
