No I mean you can't save the game disc on the HDD (for faster loading). You can still save your progress in the games. My bad.

I am both happy and sad after knowing that they are catching on the firmware instead of the games.
I bought my xbox modded 2 weeks ago knowing that its not gonna matter as long as I play legit games on XBL, and backups offline. Yet I haven't had a chance to try any backup games on my console because they are rather difficult to find in HK. So basically I bought a modded system, which can will be ban as soon as I log onto XBL, although I never played backups on it lol...
However, I'm glad that I couldn't figure out why the bridge connection between my Macbook and the Xbox tonight or else I would've gotten my console banned before I read about it. So, now I'm stuck with a 60gb modded console that won't be able to go on XBL unless I unflash it or buy an arcade system.. wasted my money for nothing.

you cant unban urself by unflashing
and most ppl get the games in china 
just play offline with the banned console and online with the legit one, you should be still able to sign into your gamertag and get achievements, just not online.

^ when was the last time you guys flashed your drives? or was it a modchip still back then?
I wonder if Microsoft made the latest version of the mod and bugged it so they could ban people who used it

I really wouldn't be surprised if it was. You two guys here running older modded 360's are fine, people with more recent mods are fucked. And developers are supposedly starting to cut back on PC development because of the piracy, so they might have given MS pressure to do the same, less they move their efforts towards the PS3

are you kidding me...
I basically want to remove my HDD and use it on another xbox... can't I?
I have DLC and shit on my drive that i can't get back on another one...
fuck i hate microsoft, what a bunch of money sucking fags. |  I got the e-mail from before you edited it, don't start acting like it's your right to mod your console and play free games and that everyone should be ok with it. well ok it is your right, but then it's also Microsofts right to not allow you to access their servers or use their DLC.

he can get back his DLC by transfering the DRM license to his new 360, and then re-downloading the content. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/sy...on/default.htm | |

I'm guessing that the AGXB shit is just bs...
there is no such thing as stealth.
I think most likely is that when a ban wave occurs, those that are online during those times with a copied disc will get detected and banned. those that are online during those time with legit disc in the console will be ok or those that didn't came online at all during those period.

well Microsoft does all their banning in waves. If they detected you between the last wave, and the next one, you will get banned at the next one.
this changes my theory a bit though. when did this stealthing business come out? who running the latest mod has been banned, and who running "stealthed" discs was banned?
edit: I'd also like to add the design and testing teams at Microsoft *seriously fucking suck* compared to Sony's. I am not speaking as a fan I am speaking as an engineering student.

its microsoft.... there is nothing from MS that couldn't be hacked LOL
PS3 on the other hand is probably the longest console not being able to be pirated LOL
even the PSP is near unhackable now.
there are big chances that ABGX fucks the game up by patching stealth on to it (wrong stealth information). a lot of times you will have no idea where the source of the game comes from or the stealth information, when the games do not match up retail, that could easily be detected.

The ban had nothing to do with playing games early or ABGX... it's the fact that MS can detect if your xbox 360 is "flashed"... I was reading over at xbox 360 forums today people bought new xbox 360's and flashed them again thinking they got banned for playing early... WRONG! They got banned all within hours without even playing any games! but just for having a flash.
anyways i got a new xbox and didn't lose any gamerpoints or anything...

why would you mod a brand new console if you already have a modded console? that's just stupid.

and there are no proof that those people are not bullshitting, it could be just Microsoft employees
all my friends with modded console didnt get banned. but then we all play on live with legit disc

and how do you know he isnt bullshitting? realistically you're all just banking on some guys word. for all you know if your drive is flashed and Microsoft checks it says "I AM A GIGANTIC FAGGOT"

yeah he and the whole abgx team could be working for ms for all we know. and ms could possibly see every flashed xbox, but only start banning now to increase sales and come out on top of console sales, thus attracting more investors.
they should make a movie starring will smith.
