Microsoft reverses some recent Xbox Live bans
- Thread starter CyReN
- Start date
Yeah but it still runs out. Infact by now the majority of affected models warrenties will have ran out, since it was mainly the launch model which were severely affected.bananas said:
I had to buy a new 360 at the start of last year because my Xbox RROD'd and my 3 year warrenty had ran out.

Psn hack made me lose access to the email associated with that. With that account they got my Amazon, newegg, steam, gamefly, facebook, twitter, netflix, bank of america, itunes login/password.
I couldn't get that email back because the "emergency" backup email was an old school email that was purged from the servers with other accounts belonging to people who no longer attend.
Also got flamed to hell and back when I mentioned this happening to me as if I was running into Sony headquarters and stabbing people or something.

Or people have invested enough money in their 360 game library to make them buy a new 360 rather than a PS3. If I cared about online gamin, and Sony for some reason were to ban my PS3, I wouldn't buy a 360, I'd just buy a new PS3.

This is probably why none of the console vendors will ever allow people to sell back digital games they have purchased (even at a fraction of the initial cost): large libraries of digital games and DLC serve to tie people to a particular service long term.
It becomes a matter of "Sick of <console manufacturer>'s <lack of games/bad customer service/terrible hardware> ? Feel free to leave, but youre going to lose a few hundred dollars of digital content"
At least discs can be sold to recoup some of the costs.
Well I just got the email a few minutes ago.
I didn't know my system was banned or suspended since I was too busy being locked out of my account from Aug-29th till Sept 20th while they investigated it being hacked.
But my console has never been modded or anything. But in the 2 emails they sent me about the 'investigation' they said have a complimentary 30 day code and in both emails the area was blank where the code would have been so wasn't really very complimentary.

Ah, so that's what happened.
I've been letting my brother use my Xbox console this past year and he told me that the console (but not his XBL account) had gotten banned a couple weeks ago. Despite his claims of innocence I didn't believe him since MS doesn't do these console bans lightly. I was thiiis close to making a thread about it, asking if anyone else has been banned unfairly recently.
So, I guess he really was innocent after all. Thanks MS, for making me look like an asshole
