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.

I honestly believe this one of the big selling points for the 360. Many ppl I know only bought a 360 due to the fact that it could be moddable. MS can't stop this problem but atleast they are trying. While the 360 modding scene is now where as bad as the PS2 its still causing a lot of lost software sales. This is more evident with software sales in others where the PS3 now is close or outselling multiplats even though the sales diff is 1million.

Yeah, I had a friend who did that. Bought a 360 just so he could hook it up to his HD TV and play movies. Guy doesn't even like videogames outside of like... Madden.
Weird shit people do.
