Gamer Buys Banned Refurbished Xbox 360

Label this as unconfirmed for the moment ( we ’ve since written Microsoft for scuttlebutt ) , but one tipster told us about a refurbish Xbox 360 that could n’t connect to Live . When he called Microsoft , they say that his boxful had been “ ban ” from the military service by the old possessor and nothing could be done one the matter . We attach the email after the jump .

… [ a Quaker ] called me up when he ran into hassle getting [ his freshen up Xbox 360 ] to work . So I come over and started seek to get the medium extender and Xbox Live form . While we had no problem link up to his meshwork and getting the medium extender working , the Xbox live connectedness keep back failing , with an hidden error code ( the whole X = 0000 0F01 , W = 0000 0201 , kind of cryptic subject matter ) .

So I called Xbox 360 documentation , read the mistake subject matter to them , and let on that there was a life-time prohibition on the loge , it could never be relate to Xbox Live ( and thus was useless to my friend ) .

I explained to the representative that this was a Microsoft - attest refurb , and that my booster had just purchased it . She said that it did n’t issue , Xbox reserve the right to revoke Xbox Live privileges “ with no resort , ” and that was done by identifying offending cabinet and banning them .

While we ’ve heard conversational accounts ofmodded box getting ban , we ’ve never discover of trouble with refurbished models . If the history is true , it fundamentally nullify the Xbox 360 resale market . The risk is too great for consumers to purchase Xbox 360s that may not put to work on Live , even though the reseller did give this customer a refund . We ’ll give you an update when we find out something back on this hearsay .
