LOL, old news, the last ban wave was for early Forza 3 players, another one is due 3 days before Modern Warefare 2 hits as it has already leaked and people are playing it early who will get banned.
None of my customers* "modded" 360's have been banned but of course they only play backups of games they legally own, on top of this I have been keeping an eye on all the major 360 "modding" sites xbox-scene being one and hardly anyone has got banned, the number is like 1 in a 1,000 who played a game early in which case they deserved it.
I've been playing Forza 3 since release date, no ban, all good, and before you all moan at me I do have the LCE edition I bought from Game and also have a full receipt but I still only use my backup disc I downloaded to play it as I have damaged way too many original discs to date and believe it or not a LOT of genuine people only have flashed 360's to play backups of games they already own to stop their original discs getting damaged.
* Please note, console flashing/chipping is 100% legal in the UK and EU, however, pirating games is against the law and I do not condone this in any way, just because I flash 360's does not mean I am a pirate, many shops in the UK and EU offer flashing/chipping services.
