Case 9: <CorteX`> a mate of mine just modded his box a few hours ago, went on live with a stealth checked copy of gears of war 2 and got banned just now, it was the only copied game he player online so far ! how is that for confirmation.. i'm telling you they can somehow detect modified firmwares now.. BANNED
Theories
<Netham45> What I've noticed so far is that it's all 1.51> bans, no 1.5< bans which tells me it's something with Wave3 emulation. There was also speculation of bans from relases by 'USA', primarially circulating around their release of Badlands or whatever that new game is.
