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...

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

...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 tongue.gif
