I've had a modded Xbox for a few years now, and never had Xbox Live. Now, with Halo 2, I decided to give LIVE a chance. As long as my modchip was turned OFF, LIVE worked great. It's been over a month now, and I've never had a problem. Yesterday, I forgot the modchip was still ON when I signed in to LIVE. I noticed within ~20 seconds of the connection failure, and quickly turned off the xbox. Now, with the chip OFF again, when I try to connect to LIVE I get the following error message:
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm furious with myself for being so stupid! Now I can never use LIVE with this xbox ever again. :angry: Do any of you know of a way around this? Or should I consider buying a used (unmodded) xbox for use with LIVE? Or should I give up the online play all together? ... Damn. --------------------  |

That account is banned for life, have to create a new account with different info, and probably a different xbox, i dont know if they do a hardware signature as part of their registration.
Best recomendations for modded xboxs is to get two of them. One modded, on one not modded to use with xbox live. |

They're still $200 CDN.
Maybe I can find one used somewhere... -------------------- |

If you found a new XBOX or PS2 for that matter at this time of year, count yourself lucky. There is going to be a shortage for both this season. Here in Columbus, all the stores are already sold out of PS2's.

Here in Manitoba, Canada, there's about a gazillion of each at every Future Shop and Best Buy. :P

dude, the xbox live accoutn is not banned for life... only the xbox itself... or actyually, i shgould say, the xbox EEPROM. all u need to do is get a n eeprom from an another xbox and swap it with your current xbox's eeprom.
