Ok, I Do Understand Microsoft Banning Any Console With Firmware Downloaded Onto It, But Physical Mods Too?!
How Can They Expect Us To Live With Their Stock Fans Which Sound Like A F :censored:king Jumbo Jet Taking Off!

So you replaced your stock fans with other fans...that go into the stock plug to get their power off..
What do you fear, it's a fan that uses the same amount of power as the stock one, nothing to worry.
And if you are a total :censored:, just use a friggin external power.

Even If The Fan Contains LED's?
-
you can get banned and your warranty expires if you have put a fan in the console
micro$oft has said that on there site

-

-

-
they can just tell by power draw and stuff. they also have cameras in all our houses.

Big Brother...
-
does anyone have alink to where on there site they discussed about the banning of people with extra fans etc
-
Well...people don't get banned for putting different fans in their 360s, they get banned for making that 12v fan thing where they use the power off the drive to power their fans at 12v to cool their consoles, and also to simulate a plane start.
Microsoft sees the higher poweruse and B&HAMMER YOUR ASS
-
a smart thing to do is just draw power from the USB since usb can be daisy chained an most likly not monitored there monitoring power from the fan points and the power for the cd and harddrive.

That makes a lot of sence after all you can charge ipods and zunes right. But that's messed up so what about neubit dose that mean he can get ban. Oh and my 360s fan dosnt sound loud at all the only time its loud is when the intercoloer is pluged in.
-
is microsoft aloud to do that as it is not illegal in any country to add extra fans i can understand banning for modchips and firmware flashes but unless they have proof of you using them then surely by law they cannot ban you as you have not breeched any laws.
-
how is a few fans personal gain?
-
my god surely that aint legal,its your 360 so no hardware mods that arnt modifying micro$oft$ software should surely be allowed,fans???? i mean what crime does a fan do...in fact it benefits microsoft cos they don't gotta go replacin ppls broken 360's cos of their own dumbass-ness in the design quarters,i dnt have a 360 but i'm :censored:in pissed off about this,i hate micro$oft...
-
also they should be happy as you void your warrenty so they no longer have to cover your ass

Exactly Robin. Me and my neighbor have had extra fans in ours for like 4 months now and no ban yet... makes me wonder if they are hot our my trail.... :dntknw:

maybe its an idle threat by microsoft?has there actually been proof of anyone being banned yet because of this?i have a feeling theres more to this matter than meets the eye because there must be a reason microsoft dont want hardware modders even ones that dont do anything illegal like chipping

Reaper or someone had a friend that was banned for it. If not reaper then someone else from acidmods cause I rember someone tellin me that on here...

Not me :confused:
-
It must have been neubit then. I'm almost sure now it was neubit
-
I know this is an old thread but... technically if they were monitoring anything other than the services that they provide, that would classify as invasion of privacy would it not?
-
hey i seen a fan or somthing that you add to the back of your xbox at a game stop,game flu.if i use this will xbox banned me?and how can they monatur your powere rate?because you can be running like 3 things off a couple out lits
-
they monitor power draw from outputs inside the console, which is why the work around is to tap power from the USB's, as you could have a Hub or something running off the USB.
-
Technically I think they can ban you if they see more power draw from your console because it's breech of contract or something like that if you do anything that the warranty or user agreement says you can't do, so then the almighty microsoft can do anything they want.
-
yeah, its so stupid, thats why I gave up on my xbox after it 3RoD on me... now its time for a ps3!
-
w8 im confoosed my xbox 360 is stock well not reeli just clear case buttt. how do u get banned and what on?

Guys because it is starting to annoy me I quickly googled and this is the only thing I found about banning modified XBOX 360's
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/microsoft-bans-modded-360s-from-xbox-live (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/microsoft-bans-modded-360s-from-xbox-live)
Also as I've said before but as always got ignored completly, Xbox's that use the 12v hack on their fans, which is basicly tapping the 12v source on the DVD drive and leading that to the fan making them turn faster, is noticable by Microsoft, and THOSE get banned. Srsly guys.
Also proof to the 12v fan thing:
