MS Banning Innocent Users In Latest Xbox360 Piracy Sweep? >

	2008/08/09 1:41:54: Posted by DM
	We spoke with two users who were mysteriously banned from Xbox Live over the last day or two, and this is what they told us. When they called MS to find out just what happened, it was explained to them that the "mechanism" which bans users who mod their hardware for piracy had apparently been left unattended for a bit, and started banning innocent users without supervision. The phone reps have apparently explained this to a few users, although we are not sure if this is true, or simple an MS excuse, or something else entirely. It does seem a bit strange though to admit wrongdoing if you have not done anything wrong at all. MS explained that it also only affected people who had Live from the original Xbox, then switched to the Xbox360. Considering MS unbanned the users we spoke with, this seems legit, folks. (Thanks, SlAddict) Update: If you get banned from Xbox Live for no reason with the modded console code (W:0000-000B X:0000-F001 Y:00A8-6820 Z:8015-190D) the reinstated users said to call right away.

Definitely not the 1st or 3rd time this has happened.

Mangina, I agree it looks like this and Sony's Firmware have something in common.

Hmmm, I could understand if this happiend to a free service but you have to pay for LIVE

well if they do have any connection with piracy, then no comment on that...

^^^Why comment in the first place^^^ I would rather you give one of your whack a$$ opinions then just post so you can see your name on this forum.

Idiot.

Actually, this is the entire reason why Microsoft decided to release an "update" with no visible improvements...Microsoft was actually doing all of us a favor, because over 12 million people will download the BIG fall update.

Microsoft is using this smaller update as something to filter out the problems; that way people won't be affected in the fall.

This was actually a smart move by Microsoft...but they still need to get it fixed ASAP.

add me on psn.

Hey Krogan,

Everything MS does is a smart move ?

I been reading your post all along, and all I see is you agree everything that MS does...

@ revealding:

Krogan is either an Ms employee or someone with nothing better to do in his life.

It's the latter. Trust me..I know.

also last time i checked leaving a 'mechanism' unattended that starts banning innocent users is NOT a smart move

Actuall Dumbdaddy, you been suffering ever since you were born, so no, you need to go to doctor and stop commenting the ppl you don't even know...

I hope you don't do that to your kids either...

LOL. Pathetic. Like I said you never have anything clever to say. Looks like you took my advice and used one of the nicknames for me that I told you to use instead. Too bad once again you had to resort to personally attacking my family while seeking safety behind your keyboard and mouse.

Weak...

Hurry up and logout with BlackTiger and then login with Tecno_Geek so you can reply.

Or better yet get a clue and a job and get a second computer so you can look a little bit less obvious.

LOL. Even better now you resort to mimicking my words. How old are you again?

you too PimpDaddy, do the same but this time do it three times !!!

LOL !!!

I'm older than your imagination age...

You not 30 and have a wife and kids,

you live in a real world, get out and find a real girl so u can marry the way you want and have kids...

I dont need to tell you my age, because there is nothing for you to know,

But since you told everyone how u have a wife who is a guy and have kids hopefully didn't get abused by you,

Just curious how old you are...

Look why don't u quit running your mouth and start posting games

And start living in a real world instead.

Video games and Movies are meant to be enjoyed, not to used as weapon or to learn in negative way.

Admin and the rest of you need to take this website seriously... with Dumbdaddy!

He's already Spamming crazy and using absuive words on random ppl...
