Remove the hard drive too, and unplug it from the mains for a minute when you're done - no writeable memory then

Well it looks like I'm in there clear for now. All codes look good and it connected to XBL fine, although it's still no guarantee for the future. I think I'll wait and see what firmware appears in the next few weeks and take it from there.

Good read of the story so far.

If your console is not banned yet, it's highly suggested you don't boot any burned discs, originals should be ok, even when offline (MS might be storing results of some checks in flash), until the release of the new FW.
And the now very true:

It does seem like timing is the key. They're writing stricter firmware which will technically be feature reduced, but in theory more stealthed to detection.

What drive do you have Des?

All I know is it's a Samsung, not sure what version though. And I can't tell that without taking the box apart which I can't be bothered to do until I need to.

Not sure I'll bother with not even playing offline. It's been done for a long time now if they're collecting data then they'll have enough already. Besides, I was really getting into GRAW2 last night so can't stop playing now

Word is Mad Tracks will be out next Wednesday For those who dont know about it, it's a Micro Machines-esque racer with 4 player local co-op and 8 player over live.

Been delayed for ages because they wanted to add the uber multiplayer, promises to be awesome.

Some screenies hyah.

Micro machines was awesome so will keep an eye for this if I make it to Live

Tested again last night and still not banned. Rumour has it that the new firmware will be available around the weekend but will have to wait and see. Just need to find somebody to help me flash it as I've not got SATA on the PC.

Still, I keep entertaining myself with Forza2 demo and GRAW2 at the moment
I keep talking to my commanding officer on GRAW

Should see how terrible I am when I'm playing games, every swear word in the book comes out of my mouth some days
