XBOX 360 console, banned, with *ahem* perks
 

Figured I'd throw it out there if anyone wants it...

Asking $100+shipping

I have an Xbox 360 console that is banned from XBOX Live that I want to get rid of. However, if you happen to have backups of games you own, or whatever, it'll play those along with your regular retail discs, too.

It's a recent manufactured unit so the RROD issue has been addressed. It was purchased from Dell in August 2009 (had to wait over a month for them to re-stock, they received a new lot of manufactured consoles).

Itll come with the console which has the 256mb memory unit inside, power/av cables, and a controller, everything you need to get up and running.

I'll get pics if you really want them, but it looks just the same as any other 360 Arcade console.

interested..

no hard drive?

I have a 20gb drive but I use it on my other console. I bought another console after it got banned so I could play online.

I just checked ebay, you can snag 20gb drives for 20-25$, I know gamestop charges more.

well, I checked a few things out, Im not in a position to spend even $100 until next month.

Ok, I'll keep the thread updated if I sell it.

Just out of curiosity, how did you get it banned? Are you a cheater, or did you just get banned for having a modded unit?

the whole cheating and gamesave thing is difficult and foreign to me. i got booted for playing copied games.

Wow, I didn't realize that they could detect that.. Interesting. At least you're not a cheater. Good job.

well, i think some of the game releases had bad data in them that didnt match the retail discs 100% and thats how it was detected. lots of people got/get banned.

just an FYI....whenever xbox live has you do little up dates, it is actually checking to see if anything in the bios has been changed, or something of the likes.

it actually does a check everytime you boot the console, but when a dash update is applied sometimes they change what is checked and how. everytime theres a dash update, those checks are reviewed to see if the current firmware for the dvd drives is still undectable. apparently, there was a point where it was detectable.

Hey Zig, if you end up buying it at some point, I'll have a 20gb hard drive you could have. I just got a 60gb and as soon as I get the transfer cable, I won't need the 20 anymore.

Do you take paypal?

i think i have mine sold. my friend is also selling his, pm me your email and i'll get you guys in contact.
