well since you are "100%" legitimate xbox360 user... you got nothing worry

yeah just play... no need to worry kena banned hammer from M$...

Holy shit! That's bad news for those people who had 3ROD revived! Me as a victim also run on x-clamp and 12v fan. If banned than i will throw my 360 into rubbish bin or even better Klang river. Thanks for the Chrismas and New Year news Microsoft. Time to play my PS3. Too much problem for all this shit!

only for the first 3 yrs.hahaha..
M$ is sick ! banning ppl who try to make their console last longer.hurmm...

Come! Come, join the PS3 bandwagon!! Kekeke!!!

No no, throw it to me. Its a waste if you throw it into Klang river, not to mention the environmental effect.

I guess modifications is still a modifications. They are trying to send a msg - "Don't repair it yourself or we banhammer you". Money-squeezing antiques but since we signed the TOA, yeah...

gnome: I agree

Luckilly they don't ban pp who plays their 360's on crappy tv's...

480p detected.. BAN! Minimum requirement 720p

MADNESS? This..... is....... MICROSOFT!!!! *kick*

Well I use extra cooling fan.

We are finding way to improve the cooling system to avoid 3rod and they are banning us? Screw them.

If I'm getting ban, bye bye Xbox. I'm going to PS3 and modding my Xbox 360 for good.

TOA TOA TOA screw the TOA. They did something wrong and couldn't fix it, we as the consumers try the fix it for them, the least they can do is close one eye.

yep they detect with the bios voltage meter modding the system violate the toa whut eva i oso dont know

Yes !!! I dislike people who meddle with stuff...

Thanks Microsoft !!

You, my friend, is sick in the head.

Its one thing to ban people who mod it for illegal uses. Its another to ban people who wants their consoles to last longer.

nak duit maaa

And he's the one that vote Halo 3 as GOTY without ever playing it before...

If this is indeed true, M$ seriously needs its ass to be kicked! Live is currently without any competition so they can do whatever they want. When PSN Home comes out next time, pray that it will be as good as Live so M$ will not be that arrogant!

yeah..you sick...

Dude, people mod the fan for a reason.

I think your the one will be getting blast.

shalalala..shalalala in the morning yeah !!..shalalala i dont care of this thread...microsoft is damm wacko guyz..need to ban ppl with modded fans ??? ban ppl with modded drive la..so stupid..lucky mine is not modded wat so ever..still getting ps3 yo.

Maybe, just maybe when I throw my 360 in Klang river it might float to Ipoh. You can go grap it by net then. He! He!

So has anyone got ban for their modded fan before jumping on the hatewagon?? This is still just rumour & theory, banning over voltage is pretty...hard, what about places with fluctuating supply voltages.

What i heard is US pro-gamers Fatality got ban from Xboxlive, and Microsoft is in the process of unbanning people due to 'massive feedback'.

If one can understand how the Microsoft banning works i wouldn't have start going legit on 360.

I just got my 2nd time 3ROD back from Djinn and I think he did the 12V fan mod to my box. For the time being, I've disconnected my 360 from the LIVE. If i get banned for having a 12V fan mod, I'm modding/flashing my 360 DVD drive. Why support ori when they screw u from behind right?

since it was pretty clear that people get banned because of the fan mod, better don't online till u fix it. get an external power adapter to connect the fan to.

Ya, but actually they take into long term result.

But if you have a fluctuate voltage is dangerous for your console. It happen to my Xbox twice and it will show 3rod sign. I think rat went and bite my wire on top of my roof because tikus ever night running up and down in the roof.

But still screw MS. I'm going PS3 next year.

I'm not sure external fan will get ban or not because I'm using it. Can't stand the amount of heat inside collecting in the console.

PS3!!! PS3!!! PS3!!! HOME!!! HOME!!! HOME!!! (LIVE is really pain in the ass)

Yup there is a reason i said that because it happen to me. My 360 3ROD 2 weeks ago due to fluctuate voltage in my old house. My PC video card also spoiled few months back. Not to mention the enourmous amount of lightbulb i've changed. Now move to new house.
Just got my 360 back yesterday from service center, not ban or anything. (changed motherboard & Dvd drive...very quiet now.)
If fan mod will result in banning, 60% of local users will be ban, so has anyone with fan mod but no firmware mod gotten ban yet?

I just think it's abit bizzare to believe this because it's unproven and remain a fan's theory (only one source). Until it's proven, better keep things optimistic like last time how ten of thousands people complaining to MS customer service that they didn't mod their console and get ban (which in the fact is not true).
The unban to banned console cases are confirmed though...

Youre a pain in the ass man. XBL has no competition. XBOX Live is 10000 times better than PSN bro, no doubt about that. And its going to be like this for million of years to come. PS3 is a joke,at least for now.

still no banning yet.

tried on my account with some of the fixed xbox 360 3RROD..

I just read a news recently those modded console some of them which are ban are unban.

There is a theory that your lens has a limit life. Once the life has pass, they will record all kinda of funny stuff and MS can't sort it out properly. So maybe they mistake ban unmodded console they revert the and make it unban.

Well, not all hope can be put in.

I'm not interested about PSN.

I'm only interested in the single player games. Most of my time in PS2 I have played a lot of single player games. So goes to PS3. In future, PS3 might still have the best single player games compare to Xbox 360. For example, FF 13, MGS 4, Kingdom Heart 3 ?

I bought Xbox 360 for Live and PS3 for single player.

I thought "modding" no matter what on Xbox is "illegal" ? I thought there is a "proper" way to get it fixed ? Proper meaning "send it back and get it fixed, with no mods" ?

ps : Don't accuse me... coz' I'm always at xbox.com (the "legal" site... I guess)

Added on December 23, 2007, 12:13 amYeah I did vote for HALO 3 as Game of The Year "Without" playing it yet ... but guess what? That speaks for itself as to how good I feel the game is...



This post has been edited by Xbox 360: Dec 23 2007, 12:13 AM

i got nothing to worry about, even with 12V fan mod my console 3rod for 3rd time anyways, time to save up for elite.... can't be bothered to fix it anymore... stupid box.

LOL...if they can give lifetime warranty..then OK... ban all those modded fan users.if not,they better dont dig their own grave.

1. Go and look for what is the meaning of modding.

2. Go and try Cod 4, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect before you start saying Halo 3 is the best.

1. I did, and its messy.

2. I did, CoD 4 rocks too... but hey, everyone has his/her opinions... so what the heck

I love LIVE, but hardware sux. If they ban ppl coz of this, then I hope someone buttsecks uncle bill, and the whole MS team that agrees with him. Saving for PS3 and Uncharted, cant wait. XBox? Later August 08 if the GOW community is still active, coz that the only game I love on XBox. All other game PC kick the crap out of XBox haha

360 is still better than the PS3....until MGS4 comes out....after that, bye2 360...

XBOX 360 offers unimaginable online multiplayer experience that i think cannot be replaced.

I think MMX is right, PS3 is made for Offline Single Player games and XBOX is always the pioneer of online gaming.

Hoho same here brudder, MGS4 come out i jump ship

but Solid Snake is making me wanna get a PS3 next year....

Gonna get a PS3 if my Xbox360 get 3rod. Really sick of all this
microsoft shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Darkside is calling....

I am just gonna stay until the ship got wrecked real bad man. Something like the Pirates and The Carribean movie, once you are a crew of the "Flying Dutchman" you're gonna be a crew forever. Iam gonna stay loyal to MS, since i started to love games when the original xbox came out. And till now, they really served and offered me the best gaming experience there is.

MGS4 is really interesting but i am buying a ps3 just for its offline SP experience,not more not less. And maybe as a blueray machine ?! Id rather play Pong or Pacman than using PSN service. HAHA.

This is getting OT man. This is not a war between PS3 and 360. Everybody knows the advantages and disadvantages between the two.

Live is still the best online service at the moment but don't forget, you pay for it. PSN is free so you get what you pay for.

Although, you can download demos and trailers faster than the 360 I believe. Always had to leave my XBOX on for the whole night to get a single demo. With the PS3, its always only 2 hours or slightly more.

As PJ said, since this is unconfirmed, there is no point in saying MS sucks at the moment. Well, actually they do suck coz of the faulty piece of hardware

welcome aboard to darkside

you talk much but yet, i dont see any PS3 on your owning list.


This post has been edited by MR.Shiney: Dec 23 2007, 02:11 PM

yup shiney.
i dont see XBL is like heaven and PSN is like hell.. he's in love with XBL too much.it's just a multiplayer games.. and a marketplace which is PSN got it too.

for LIVE and PSN i dont see any much of a difference when it comes to service.
i he said about games, i might have to agree with him a little.

i dont want to start a war here. its just pointless and a bit too repetitive.

Screw PSN.

I'm getting PS3 is for the sake of single player games only. Thats good enough for me. For me, in my pov, PS still have a good single player games overall.

I'm getting it next month for sure.

And Live is still better then PSN a lot but PS still have a good single player games.

Both has pros and cons

are you comparing Live & PSN or 360 & PS3 games?

I'm comparing both.

Both console have pros and cons

The best is just own 2 console so everyone will be happy.

money is the problem.

not the console.

why didnt i thought od that

erm...there is a ps3 vs 360 thread outside.

Hey PS fanboy, its true i dont really own a PS3, but I always spend my time at my uncle's house, he has a PS3 with online capabilities. Tried games like Resistance and Tiger woods PGA tour 08 ; graphic wise, not much difference. He's using a Sony bravia engine tv 52" with it. Online play wise ; i really dont have to say, u know how its like haha.

---

Added on December 24, 2007, 4:19 pmIts true PSN is more or less the same as Xbox Live infrastucture wise. But the difference is, PSN offers lots of shit these days, nothing concrete, nothing original. PS3 and PSP connectivity is cool where u can use ur PS3 to purchase PS1 games and play them on your PSP. PURCHASE? Dude, u can get that for free and u dont even have to buy a PS3 for that!

Thing is with the XBOX team, they care for the community, they give out this, they give out that for free, u can get news directly from XBOX.com from ur xbox360 itself and all that jazz. Demos, trailers, videos, tons of stuff to fill up your harddrive. 80gig and cant download movies and etc? Thats like burning money. Like buying a Ferrari with powerful engine but you are not allowed to drive for more than 80 MPH. Damn.

Just my quarter cents.

This post has been edited by Kernkraft400: Dec 24 2007, 04:21 PM

PSN is like SH&T coz it FREE.. no charge... LIVE like HEAVEN coz we pay for THAT.. that why like that lorr...

Excuse me? Can't download movies? At least the ps3 let's the user to transfer files to the hdd or even upgrade the hdd as they like. The Elite 360, with its 120gb hdd and the only thing u can fill it with is with movies u have to actually RENT. So u have to pay to fill up the HDD? No thanks! I find it ironic that u argue that one is wasting their money buying PS1 games thru PSN. Also, of course u don't need a PS3 for that coz PSN is accesible thru PC as well. Why argue about getting games on PSP for free when i can say the same about movies and the ones available in Marketplace? Demos, trailers, videos, tons of stuff to fill up your harddrive <--- PSN had all those too! The only major drawback on PS3 is the integration with games, since u can't view your msg while gaming or access to the XMB in-game at all.

Tsk tsk typical fanboy.

Hey bro, take it easy man, you dont have to bounce up like that Iam just saying both consoles has their own pros and cons. But the Xbox360 is a better machine than a PS3 eventhough the PS3 is being the greater one on hardware specifications on paper. Lets go to the very base or foundation of gaming, afterall, we buy consoles to give us that sense of satisfaction for the gaming experience yes? Or we buy games for their hardware specifications? " Oh sir, i need to buy a console with greater hardware specifications than its competitors but with a cheapass services and less library of games pls "

FYI, the original XBOX is a greater machine than a PS2 in a sense of Hardware specifications. But, but, but, people still buy PS2 because of its library of games and its gaming experience eventhough it doesnt have online capabilities see?! Until now, the selling ratio of a PS2 and an XBOX is almost 4:1 if iam not mistaken. Microsoft cant take the pressure and they had to kill of the XBOX1. And started a new project with the XBOX360.

Hope you get my point. Iam not being a fanboy and if u start to open ur eyes a bit and read my siggy. I own most of the consoles by all three pioneer gaming companies nintendo, playstation, Microsoft and even SEGA. So, being a fanboy is out-of-question, shabby?

And when i say get an XBOX360, i didnt actually mean they have to get the Elite 120gig HDD version. Just get a premium pack with HDMI and 20gig HDD. Its good enough.

This post has been edited by Kernkraft400: Dec 24 2007, 05:48 PM

aku punya 60gb dah jadi 20+gb hahahah sumbat all the movies...

boss, remember we are no longer allow to download any videos/trailers from marketplace lah because of our ip here. same goes to GOW maps! seriously in terms of downloading free stuffs and make use of hdd space, it's definately ps3 no offence. well others might argue that we are looking at gaming perspective not their specs this and that... so really up to our own. anyway, i just got tired of the ip restrictions in xbox live marketplace lah.

again, both 360 and ps3 got their own advantages and disadvantages so it's all up to own individuals.

ok..

tuan tuan and puan puan.,.

this thread sudah way way off topic liaw.

lets stick back to 12v fan mod can "banned" you from xbox live..

shall we boss?

yes my lord. hahaha....

i downloaded some trailers from the marketplace just now

sorry boss me long time didnt masuk xbox live my 360 also dont know with who now

To hell with the 360.. my box just died on me again and I'm on the final boss for Bioshock!!!!!! I just need to stick one more needle on him but my 360 decides it was enough and hangs!! Now it wont play games anymore. OMG, the quality of the 360 is just appalling. Anybody wanna lend me his 360 so that i can finish this freaking Bioshock?

LOL sorry2.... i'm just pointing out the fact that u said having an 80Gb PS3 is pointless when in fact having a 120Gb Xbox360 is even more pointless. That's all. The rest i sincerely agree. PS3 still needs a better library of games and desperately needs to improve it's online feature. Peace!

its weird enough talkin abt ps3 here in a 360 topic

This post has been edited by iloveredapples: Dec 24 2007, 08:04 PM

start calling names huh

its WAR!!!

i can go to war without it

So M$ made the 3 rods on purpose so that people will buy more xbox.

it's way out of topic

I taught we talking about MS ban but instead turns into console war.

I kinda started it. Sorry guys. Way wayyy out of topic.

small matter only lah... no prob at all. let me belanja teh tarik to everyone

Yeah you post the teh tarik to me via pos laju or dhl to my place in Sabah.

FYI the XBOX is a GREATER MACHINE than PS2 JUST BECAUSE IT RELEASE ON MID OF EACH 5 YEARS CONSOLE CYCLE. What you think it would be if it were released at the same time as PS2?

Dude, did u really read everything i said man or did u read the front part only and then started to comment on it. I SAID Xbox is a greater machine compared to a PS2 hardware wise. BUT if u read the mid part, i said PS2 is the successful one because of its library of games and its gaming experience eventhough it doesnt have online capabilities. And the selling ratio of a PS2 to an XBOX is 4:1.

I can write a novel on this but i had enough. This is not a console war thread. If you really dont understand what i said on the previous post, create a console war thread and id join in

this guy going to start the war again...haih read first la before make a comment....

There are ps3 vs x360 thread outside but nobody interested, instead they wana fight over it here

...or is it people can't understand what is this thread about?? Can't everyone agree that we are all fanboys? If you are not, you wouldn't have join in this madness - Bringing PS3 into Xbox Section, or downplaying PS3 in Xbox section. That clearly say - fanboy.

So...Lets stick to the topic shall we?

Otherwise, goto close this thread....sorry Guardian

sien all kinda tricks there... arguement about which is better...

nuff said
go back and play tetris

*Borat mode on

IM A FANBOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


























NOT

No such of this thing happen, if ur machine hit by 3rod, u still can clain ur machine which still under 3 years warranty. I only believe that M$ let million of xbox360 owner get mod n go inside xbox live, when reach the target, they will ban them all, after that they will repeat it again.

so xbox only safe for the first 3yrs.huhu.. after that,mod fan also kena ban.mati lah.

er... I thought this news is still unconfirmed?

muahahahahahahha...macam mane plak aku bleh ter miss ini topic ...heeemmm too many BLACK LABEL in me....dah dah...nanti aku panggil polis hong kong tangkap korang kang

Datulk Mayat....

Why so long time no online??? Busy wif the dark side izzit????

aiya....... LEE KUAN YEW.....dark side with the UT3.....wwww00000ttttt

haha

so much fanboy talk in a thread about modded fans!!!

get it? fan? the duality of the meaning? fanboy and fans?

No?


Happy Christmas you wankers

this is only a RUMOR. no use jumping up and down because of it.

and i know a 16/17 years old kid from sarawak/sabah (cant remember his exact age) who sent his machine for modding to one of my friends.

funny tho' my friend spoke with his mother, she said, if not mod tak mampu beli game..LOL.

I guess his mother should have bought him a PS3 too

Really sick of reading posts like :





seriously, if you dont thave the thing, spare the time typing shit. Better study for SPM next year.

Oh...this is news to me. So now if we bought the modded console, is it confirm rrod is totally can be avoided?

who dig this up??

til now..RROD cant be prevent yet..still occur sooner or later when u get ur xbox..modded or unmodded..
