As you've all seen, Microsoft has started unbanning consoles. I've seen alot of people who were banned this past weekend, and are still banned, no matter how much yelling they do to poor customer reps. Others, who have modified firmwares ranging from 5.x to 1.4, and have never made a phone call have miraculously become unbanned!

So, it appears that MS is backtracking somewhat on the ban's, likely due to the reasons described above. Their infallible system has proven once again to not be perfect, and to attack innocent users. As always, we recommend that if you are a live user, to NOT modify your system, as you will eventually get banned.


sign in and see if microsoft sent you eidi!

In regards to 'bad game data' or kreon rips, SS, dmi and pfi, it appears that the reason MS might be unbanning xbox360's is because we've found evidence that strongly suggests ANY xbox360 can return bogus data. After some internal testing on a few older 360's, it seems that once a lens is near the end of its life, it can respond with all sorts of data, or lack thereof. A len's on the fritz was able to produce all sorts of odd angles that a new drive would not, aswell as tons of missing data throughout SS files (many chunks of data that read 00's instead).

didnt get any of this

@speedyz: there are multiple sectors on xbox 360 game dvd, ss=security sector, pfi , dmi,etc. some games are not pirated properly so some of these sectors maybe missing from the dvd. m$ checks if our dvd's have all sectors and if they dont, they know its a pirate game. When the lens of the 360 dvd drive becomes older, it doesnt work like its supposed to and might not read all sectors, even if the dvd has all the sectors.

my guess is that its only people who have bad backups(ones with sectors missing) that are being unbanned because i checked my games and most have all sectors intact(all that i checked).

just remember:they dont ONLY ban us pg'ers( ) because of these sectors, there are other reasons also.

hope this summarry of my own knowledge helps

it basically means we were all banned cause pgr4 and assassins creed were bad burns.
