All Xbox 360 Consoles Unbanned?

By

The timing is a little co-incidental with everything that is going off regarding Sony’s PSN, but there are reports coming in from around the web that xbox 360 consoles that were previously banned from live are able to re-join live by manually updating to the latest xbox dashboard software.

Was it a mistake on Microsoft’s part, or are they trying to capitalise on Sony’s downtime and encourage as many people to make the jump ship to xbox as possible? The only way we’ll know for sure is if these unbanned consoles stay unbanned (provided their users are playing by the rules this time!).

If you have a banned xbox 360 console, or know someone who does, give this a shot and let us know how it goes in the comments.

Achievement Unlocked Unban 1000000 Consoles

Pull all those banned consoles out from under your bed or from in your closet, because Microsoft just made one of the biggest mistakes they have ever done! Earlier this morning, on April 26th, Microsoft unbanned every single console that has ever been banned from Xbox Live. It is un certain if Microsoft has a backup of all the banned consoles but as for now, there are no signs of the consoles being rebanned. With the unbanning of all the KV’s this means all your Jtags will be unbanned as well, however booting them will still result in a near instant ban! It would be clever if Microsoft did this to inspire the people deprived of PS3 to reuse the server, however this seems more like a human error. Regardless of the situation, someone is going to be in a lot of trouble for this one!
