if you are outside of U.S then dont hope about getting IPTV, just like video marketplacem it will be US only.

Not just US only, but it's an actual service through AT&T. The 360 acts as a set-top box, just like one from your cable or satellite company. You have to be an AT&T Uverse subscriber to use it.

hmm

I was actually thinking of modding my xbox360, i had in fact even opened my console and was about to mod but the sata chipset is not compatible with my ms28 drive and i had no luck of finding that VIA PCI Sata Controller, so i just put back everything together without modding it. I kinda felt bad because my warranty got voided [4 months warranty was left]

but now i am kinda happy. Honestly xbox live has still not launched in India so i have never really played online although i have downloaded demos and videos using a .us account but thats about it. Once Xbox Live launches over here, i am gonna see if its any good else i will get my 360 modded.

The point is that Microsoft is continuously adding new features in xbox 360 like the upcoming iptv thingy which is scheduled to be released during the holiday time so i just think that people whose console got banned will be missing these new things.

If they were banned, theres lots of people including me that are still on live with modded setups.

Incorrect.

About the banning of consoles; I personally think it's a good idea... I don't see why I should have to pay for games whiles others get them free illegally. Yes, I know it can be used for backups... but we all know 98% of the time it's used for getting games for free. Sucks for all the people who modded their console... and it sucks even more for the people who said MS wouldn't be able to detect the firmware hack.

I just hope they don't start banning unmodded consoles by accident.

I just sold my banned box... :whistle:

Lets just say I made money on my initial purchase. :rolleyes:

360 Elite here I come... although I should probably just get the Premium, that way I can have some money for games.

*sigh*, I have to buy games now.

Now why do I find it hard to believe that the people who have never modded in my life got banned? :rolleyes:

I don't believe in these stories also... they either:

1. did not know that their console was modded

2. flashed their firmware back to original and hoped that MS will not ban them.

It is simple - you mod, you get banned! Stop crying about it, you were warned when u signed up for Live.

Jeez who'd you sucker into that, I was thinking of maybe selling mine as well, but I wasn't thinking more than $250 or so. So the fact you made money is quite astonishing.

I don't know, eBay..

I paid $420 for it a year ago, and somehow sold it for $475 yesterday.

Guess I'm going to Best Buy to get a new 360 Tuesday evening. :whistle:

can I see the auction, out of curiosity?

No, because I'll probably get flamed for it.

Some other guy already basically copied my auction word for word. Its on eBay somewhere.

Could it be because you were deliberately hiding an important problem with your unit?
