reech Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 That may be true megatron, but I could purchase a couple of 360s for the price of a PS3... ...but since I didn't Mod my XBOX, try to copy games or cheat, I don't have to 'cos I'm not banned...

gigapixels Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 Sony is laughing right nowhttp://forums.xbox.com/12548824/ShowPost.aspx http://forums.xbox.com/12557689/ShowPost.aspx http://forums.xbox.com/11894616/ShowPost.aspx 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.

CactuzJak Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 or C. Keep your banned console and play single player pirated games. Thanks, I'll just do that after all I have my PC for any game that's worth playing online anyways.

OhMuffin Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 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...

markwolfe Veteran Posted May 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2007 ...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.

OhMuffin Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 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 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/561245-microsoft-starts-banning-360s-on-live-ms-confirms/page/8/#findComment-588563220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Diablo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 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.

zerolimit Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 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 $$!

OhMuffin Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hmmm maybe I could scam my way back into unbanning myself... Nah probably not worth my time. Every time I call 1-800-4MYXBOX I feel less and less intelligent due to that douche, Microsoft Max.

neoadorable Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 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.

Ji@nBing Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 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.

beekay_ Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 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.

JrDZ13 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Won't everyone who has put in the effort to mod a console just buy a new console at Wal-Mart and return the old one? Anyways I think its a good thing, as long as it lasts.
