The thing that gets me though, is that people are going in to the gamestores, and trading them in so they can purchase another. I witnessed this today, but the dude got booted out of the store when it was found out that the console had been banned. And may I add, that his card got cut in half right before his eyes. (Sorry, but that one was funny to me) Yes, they have now began to check if they can go online.!! And it looks as if the "stealth" has gotten blown to hell..LOL
Well at least they are checking now....that is total crap to trade it in and screw someone else....

I laugh at all the modders that get banned, especially the ones that try to get sympathy or try to sell their own modded shit. I wish I would have seen that happen, Golden. That's just fuckin' awesome.

Serves them right. I have yet to mod any gaming system I have ever owned. I buy my games fair and square, or borrow from a friend, or XBA, lol.
I'm glad places are checking for banned boxes now, it's bullshit to try to fuck someone else because you were stupid.
That said, at least the 2 so far here admit that their 360's are banned that they are trying to sell.

I've got a coworker who practically dances into work every day and tells me about how all his buddies are banned and he's not. I'm waiting for the day he comes in, shoulders slumped, and announces his ban. I have to admit...I'll probably laugh pretty hard.

Doesn't MS do ban waves every year though. I just think they took out a crap ton more people this year. I do think they've found a way to detect the firmware but I also think that 360 hackers will come out with a new firmware that is undetectable, and the dance will continue. You guys do know that some people with modded consoles actually buy their games right, and it does suck for those people, and MS is just pissing a lot of thier customers off. Plus MS is probably going to lose money no matter what because think of all of those xbox live subscriptions that aren't going to get renewed, 600,000 if that number is to be believed, is a lot of xbox live subscriptions.
