Don't worry about getting banned. The only people who have been banned (in 99% of cases) are people who have modified the dvd drive to play backup copies of their games. The other 1% m$ have banned by mistake... arses.

Thanks for the advice. I won a 60 GB on Ebay for a pretty good price and yes it is not from Hong Kong but from the US, if I hadn't read it here I would have been ordering the wrong one !!!

I have been reading on here and not quite understanding all the information, mod ( I assume that means modified) and being banned. Makes me worry that I may do something wrong and not even know it.

I have questions about Xbox live, I am not sure I understand what all you can do there....download demos, buy games, but there are free games as well??? Is there an easy way to find the free games? Sorry too many questions.

You got scammed again, the ones in ebay from Hong Kong are non official HDD so you wont be able to use them in Xbox Live according to Major Nelson.

Plus they may suck...

If you didnt pay yet just dont pay!!!

Very Happy I do notice now that I don't sweat the small things as much anymore though. I think when you hit 40 it makes you relax a little more. Very Happy
