Does MS really care if people are cheating to get achievements? Sounds like something you could have done with a gameshark back in the day.

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13526/...-360-Consoles/ Microsoft Starts Banning Modded Xbox 360 Consoles By: César A. Berardini - "Cesar" May. 17th, 2007 4:52 pm Our friends from Xbox-Scene.com have received dozens of mails from users reporting that they have been banned from Xbox Live. What do all these users had in common? Apart from trying to play the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, they all have modified their Xbox 360s. Like Microsoft did with the original Xbox and Xbox Live, the software giant is not banning Xbox Live accounts, but the systems. Microsoft’s Global Marketing team has confirmed that the company has indeed started to ban modded Xbox 360s: As part of our commitment to our members, we do not allow people that we have detected to have modified their console to connect to LIVE. This is an important part of our efforts to try and maintain a fair gaming environment for the large majority of gamers that play by the rules. This topic is more important than ever given the recent release of the Halo 3 beta. As a result, some consumers that try to login to LIVE who we detect have illegally modified their console will get an error code (Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D) when trying to connect to the service. These users will not have their account automatically banned from LIVE, but they will no longer be able to access the service from the console they modified. These banned users get the following screen when they go to test connection after Xbox Live fails to launch: http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/xbox3...img0452ir3.jpg |
alright thanks for that
no need to worry then :-D |
Great news! (from Joystiq) The Chronicles of Riddick is being revisited. Remake planned for 360 & PS3. So no more need for waiting on the original to hit the BC list.
With The Darkness now a month away from being in their rearview, developer Starbreeze will be returning to its old punching grounds with a remake of the surprisingly good Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, according to UK industry mag MCV. The story has also popped up in Game Informer. Pro-G reports that the game is currently titled The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and is headed to Xbox 360 and PS3. It's also apparently got online multiplayer and a "developer's commentary mode" which has us praying that Vin Diesel has time to make a special guest appearance. (Spoiler alert: He does.) Vivendi apparently wouldn't confirm the story to Pro-G, but said that an announcement would be coming soon: We're already turning off all the lights and drinking protein shakes in anticipation. |

I guess I meant it wasn't clear because there seems to be Modders who aren't banned and Banned players who swear they never modded. Granted they may full of shit. Also, I saw a report of a person who swears he didn't mod but he claims the refurbed 360 he got back may have been modded so he got screwed. xbox.com has some interesting stories. Anyway, who knows... |

I thought it was some sort of firmware or something. |
yea, you flash a custom firmware onto the DVD drive

A friend of mine bought a broken/red ring 360 for cheap, flashed non-approved firmware on the drive, and he says it works better than his non-broken 360. :lol:

one of the guys I know on another site who is like 3rd in the world, had his gt revoked for game saves.

I switched out my console before my PRP expired. Now I am experiencing some live troubles. I am playing Call of Duty 3 and during a cut scene my game freezes asks me to log in under another user. It even gave me the option of signing on as Guest. I tried that to see what it would do and it said I needed a Live account. But my regular account is what I want to choose anyway.
Also, I bought Double Dragon before switching out consoles. Now I have to download the full version every time I want to play it. All my other Arcade games are fine. Very annoying. Does this have something to do with the update? |
Just saw a commercial for Forza 2 on the Suns/Spurs game. Man, that looks pretty damn good.

There's also a buzz about bannings for 360's having accounts that don't match the owner's region. Again, since modding seems to be the main known reason for bannings I'm not sure how legit this is.

Does anyone have 3d mini golf that it willing to play with me?
It seems that no one on my friends list owns this game, and only have 2 online achievements left finish up this game. I've tried at different times of day and it says there are no games available. |

At work so I can't see what other games you have/play. Do you have Frogger? Gyruss? Been wanting to unlock the co-op achievements on those, but can't ever find games. |
I've got every arcade game. I'll play any co-op if you see me on, as long as I'm not playing Halo 2 or Halo 3.

Question on the headsets. If you are using the wired headsets are you supposed to hear the other chat party through the speakers as well, or just through the headset? I have the 360 hooked up to a receiver via optical digital, and I hear the chat responses through both the headset and speakers. It's kind of annoying as I don;t want other people in my house to hear the conversations. I don't hear me through the speakers, though.
|
yea, it's supposed to come out of the TV and the headset
I'm not sure if they will keep it that way, but it is the norm |
You can set it to just headset.
