I swear some people on here have actual mental retardation.

The 360 has a f*cking SECURITY DECAL ON IT!

If that is missing when you send your POS modded console back to Microsoft, they will know that some shit is going down on your box.

Nobody is sending out modded refurbished consoles. You guys are frikken nuts.


its being confirmed by MANY people, that EVEN WITH NO SECURITY SEAL/TORN SEAL you will STILL get a refurb. I KNOW THIS IS STUPID BUT MS IS JUST THAT, STUPID.
 
i got a refurb when i sent mine back without the seal.

the reason the seal wa gone is i did the heat air gun trick several times in an attempt to fix it myself before sending it back?

the sync button on the mobo was also molten

dude check the broken 360 thread. i clearly stated *LAST YEAR* that my seal was broken and they took mine, and several other people stated the same thing, results may vary, but depending on who does the inspection, some boxes are taken with the seal tamered with or missing.
 
My guess is IF these reports are true, then they're just being lenient on the broken seal, in other words, they're not going to totally screw you unless they see damage caused by opening the box or trying to install a mod chip.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure they would catch any mods as part of servicing the machine. The engineers that designed the system probably came up with the repair procedures, after all.
 
Isn't there a routine dvd they use in each 360 before sending it back? I remember reading about someone who got their 360 back with the dvd still in the drive that they forgot to remove before packing. Something like that probably does a system check to make sure everything works and its possible now that it can check for edits.
 
I wonder if this means that Microsoft has cost reduced the 360 enough such that each news 360 sold is now profitable (or at least break-even). That way, when modders go to buy a new 360, MSFT doesn't lose any money on the transaction.

And perhaps this is a prelude to a price-cut . . . they needed to do this ban (and subsequent probable purchases by modders) before any price cut. Perhaps a price cut is just a few months away now.


Also . . . nice how MSFT did this right after the Elite SKU introduction . . . they'll probably end up selling that new, most profitable version of the 360 to these modders. :lol
 
I wonder if they should of instead beefed them down to Silver, because now MS is losing a load of DLC and XBLA sales. Like they should be down to silver with no Gold refund, and never allowed back up.

Maybe thats too kind :P
 
im pretty sure it would be raining lawsuits if they actually bricked consoles.

especially with so many different countries with different laws on the right to backup your games

Are you so ****ing stupid that you can not read nor understand what everyone has been saying? Microsoft doesn't check the decal nor do they give a shit about it when you send it in for repair or exchange. It's also known that they've sent people back refurbished units that either had a completely missing decal or badly damaged one. Do your ****ing homework before you post you ****ing moron.
 
jesus, just buy another 360 just for online if it means that much. Surely you've saved up enough playing all those ripped off games

Microsoft loses again, new FW announced today to play online like before.

really? like the firmware that was supposed to prevent bannings and didn´t work?...................:lol
 
I can`t see anything about it on xbox-scene.Looks like the frighteners have been put on them as well. They are moderating much more closely now. Anything that pisses off the people pushing up the cost of my games is a good thing!

you kind of have a point here... never thought of that.

You're assuming though hackers and modders BUY DLC. Given the fact that they've spent a lot fof time and went to a lot of trouble to modify their 360s I kind of doubt it.

modders are scum
 
I still love how many people are in total denial they got busted, or get this HOW DARE MICROSOFT LIMIT ME ACCESS TO THEIR SERVICE WHILE STILL ALLOWING ME TO PIRATE ALL THE GAMES I WANT attitude.

Oh no, you can't play your pirated games online with the people that actually paid for them!

:cry

:lol :lol :lol

you're comparing something that was done in anticipation of an oncoming threat vs something being done to defeat a known entity... there's a difference between hackers preparing against a possible method, vs hackers analyzing an existing method and defeating it...

MS have achieved their current goal. The banned consoles won`t be coming back. At the very least the hackers will have to buy another console and mod it, and then live in fear of losing another.

Am I wrong in assuming that it will need a fresh and unbanned 360..? Or does it change the MAC address (which I'm guessing is what MS bans)?
 
I doubt MS have only one possible method of looking for modded consoles - even if they manage to defeat the method currently used, MS will do something new.

I should think its a bit more devious than that. Probably a unique hardware key based on the motherboard.

Once you are banned a drive firmware can`t bring you back, unless they cracked the motherboard firmware, which I don't believe they have.
 
I'm amazed that people are mad about this. This is the risk you undertook when you willingly modded your 360. If/when Sony finds a way to brick unlocked PSPs, I'll be scared shitless, but I wouldn't get mad at them. We are losing money for these companies. Man up for your actions. Good job by MS IMO. PEACE.

MS actually missed tons of modded 360s. Mines using old firmware and has been on almost all day since they started the banning and I'm still fine..

Yeah sure. Peeling that little decal off immediately voids your warranty.

You would be a moron to take it off in the first place, and a bigger one to take it off and still expect Microsoft to honour your warranty.

Not many, I have over 30 originals. I just modded it in feb. Blockbuster is a fing ripoff and there should be better ways to try games before buying them than paying huge ass fees at BB or Hollywood Video. I've had my system since release.. well I'm on my 3rd refurb from the repair center actually. If I'm going to actually play a game for more than a rental periods length I buy it.

Are you ****ing retarded kid? They do still honor it with or without it on. Check do some ****ing homework on the topic before you open your mouth.

no need to call anybody names. it's obvious you're passionate about this whether or not the other posters agree with you.

modders are not always pirates, hell if they could bring out a completely stealthed mod-chip for the wii, i would buy it and install it.

Why? because of Super Paper Mario and Trauma Center, games that we won't get over here till July or later (brought legally from the states/canada ofcourse).

or buy another console for the games they'll buy/rent and play online, and use their banned console for warez...

or buy another console, swap the insides, mod the new one, and the other one is ****ed whoever gets it...

or trade in their banned console, buy another and mod it, and whoever gets the other console is ****ed...

actually, that could be a good thing, it could kill the used console market and weaken gamestop!

from what i read, the hardware id in the hypervisor is used to identify the console.

so yeah, a banned console is done for good, no eeprom swapping this time around.

hey over a year ago, people said MS would stomp this out quickly.

they're still stomping, plus, alot of people still aren't banned.

My MP3 collection consists of 90% downloaded MP3's and 10% ripped from CD's, i won't buy MP3's that are infested with DRM junk.
 
Besides a lot of the people in this thread pretending to be against modders asked how to exploit the 360 and live this past week, you need to quit pretending your so great. I had over 85 private messages from you guys this past sunday and monday asking me how to do the exploit to get into Halo 3 early. Maybe I should post all of em here.
