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.

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'. laugh.gif

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

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. tongue.gif

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.

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. tongue.gif  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...

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. rclxms.gif

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.

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. smile.gif

I thought "modding" no matter what on Xbox is "illegal" ? I thought there is a "proper" way to get it fixed ?  hmm.gif  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)

Yeah 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...

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.

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

Both console have pros and cons

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

it's way out of topic

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