XBox live

lol not to worry there working on a totaly new firmware for teh xbox drives so if your running a flashed drive and arnt yet banned keep off live until its released and get it reflashed, testing has been in progress and so far none of teh units tested have been banned so its looking good so far

what made me laugh was bbc radio 1's so called expert saying its effecting 360 consoles that are modchipped, no xbox 360 consoles are modchipped the dvd drives are re programed to accept pirate games which is a totaly different thing

if there is anyone banned there are alternatives to xbox live if you want to play online but they arnt as good obviously but better than nothing

XBConnect

Leaf Networks - Connecting people with devices

only downfall is that most if not all games are ping limited to lower than 30ms or no connection can be made

The ping deal is that if your playing your buddies over a short distance, like same city or close by city it works, you just won't play many games across the whole country.

havnt tested these myself yet as i am not banned but i used to use xboxconnect on my xbox 1 and had no problems playing online for FREE :D

For xboxconnect, I take it that you run that on a PC & your xbox connects via that?

Was it easy to setup & did it cause lag at all?
 
At first I was in shock, I mean it's always at the back of your head using pirate games you know there's that possibility but you haven't heard about it, there's been no warnings and you haven't heard it happen to anyone in the last two years.

I wasn't expecting it. I was just like, 'OK, what do I do now? Is this just a joke?' So I thought, 'Let me restart the Xbox'. I restarted, signed in again, same message. I did that three times, same message. I was pulling my hair out thinking, 'No, why me?'

What at idiot Raz is :D
What did he expect would happen? If you use pirate stuff you can't complain when it stops working. When you read the article it sounds like he feels hard done to :D:D:D

easy to set up and even easier if you jook up to a laptop you can just put your laptop next to the console

as for lag it all depends o how good the hosts connection is, i havnt used it for 360 so cant comment how 360 game shandle it because they are designed to disconnect if connection is poor
 
Microsoft claim to have banned 1 million customers so they have just lost £25 million in un renewed xbox live subscriptions plus previously banned consoles who wont be renewing

i know they are trying to stop pirated games but they cant so instead of just loosing money on games they have now lost money from people paying for xbox live which is daft really because at least they were getting some money back from the pirate games users

most people i know who have been banned dont care as they are happy not to be paying £50 a game and see xbox live as somthing they knew they could loose so were half expecting it

sony provide FREE online gaming if anyone is trying to decide between a 360 or ps3 the 360 may well be a better machine but ps3 has free online gaming and unlike the 360 if you buy a map you can share it a certain number of times with a friend where as with teh 360 you have to pay for online gaming and pay for maps which you alone can only have

oh and microsoft never fixed the red ring of death issue despite claiming they fixed teh issue they havnt so expect any machine you buy to break and be constantly sent back to microsoft

you can get a 360 re-flashed for about £15-20 and pay around £10 for 3 games so whos really loosing out here by these bannings pmsl

I AM NOT OFFERING TO FLASH 360 UNITS OR PROVIDE GAMES

lol i find it huourous when idiots like you try to bleet on about piracey liek its somthing they have never done themselves

not that you will admit it but i highly suspect you have recorded songs off the radio if of an older age, definatly have some mp3s copied from somewhere you shouldnt, probably got a copied dvd or cd somwhere that a buddy has done for you or possibly recorded a vynal album to tape or even watched videos on utube the list is pretty long in how you can break copyright laws

last guy we had on here crying about piracey effecting his trade forgot to mention his pirate copy of xp and a few movies he had aquired lol

everyone does or has done it in one way or another so preech elsewhere

for teh record all my xbox 360 ganmes are genuine my mps player however is fully loaded thanx to usenet and limewire

god bless people who like to share

Serves em right really.

If you have a chipped box you can modify the game & thats not fair to those of us that have not got that ability.
Its always those with chipped boxes, getting the games before the rest of us that have the high scores & know the glitches inside & out.
 
its a risk they are willing to take and yes i agree they have no rightto cry about it if they got caught but i also aint gonna cry for microsoft who charge ridiculous prices for games and have also gotten away with building the worst built console in history where other companies woud have had to do a total recall of tehir product microsoft got away with continueing to make faulty units and sell them

also who in tehir right mind is going to pay £30 plus per game for a nintendo ds when you can buy a card for around £20 and fill it with games for free

if these greedy sods want to cut out piracey they should lower prices so that buying the origional is more attractive then more people will buy their games legaly

LOL, you know absolutely nothing about my music collection, or anything else that I possess. So you're at no position to comment. I don't download music, I pay for it. Music is a passion of mine so I'm prepared to use legal channels to purchase it; otherwise there isn't going to be incentive for future bands. Now that there's Spotify I get the advantage of listening to all my music online; for free. My copy of Windows is legal as my computer came pre-installed with a licence. Don't presume everybody partakes in copyright theft just because it's ubiquitous in the computer age.

Secondly, there was absolutely no need what so ever to call me and idiot; bit of ad hominem there.

Hmm, I detect some Playstation fans are commenting here :D


Not to worry, AFAIK a workaround has already been devised & will be available before too long.

if your refering to the 360 you can already unban your 360 from live, i did post how but it got deleted and yes hackers have already got to work on a new firmware thats going to be harder for microsoft to detect so if you have a modified 360 and are not yet banned stay off line with it for a while then get your 360 reflashed

they have already been testing it during the latest wave of bannings and they have not as of yet been detected

its quite a game of cat and mouse the hackers and microsoft are playing with each other i remember when they got linux running on teh xbox 1 , bill gates went mental lol
