Judging by these numbers I think its safe to say that this is big problem and only getting bigger. I am guessing theres atleast 2 million modded 360s out there. I know alot of stores that flash 360s and have their own site. Many people I know don't get banned if they are careful and these sprees just take out the careless modders that usually just sell their banned 360s and get a new one.

Totally agree Dark Chaos,

These ban waves just bring it to reality that this "problem" is real, the xbox flashing scene is HUGE and I mean HUGE, it's estimated that over 20% of all 360's out in the wild are flashed to play "illegal" games.

 

Very true a friend of mine who was just banned had a new 360 waiting. He just buys a 360 takes the hardware out of the shell puts it in the new shell, brings back the ruined 360. And flashes again with a new 360 with new programs to prevent detection. Its a continual cyle that is so easy to do. Especially to rip off a new 360.
