Well from what i been hearing the new update for the use of usb flash drives as memory cards/hard drives now seems like this allows you to uncripple your hard drive to on the xbox 360 by the sounds of it just installing the update onto your banned console guess good news for those people that have banned consoles and want to transfer your gamer tag between the banned one and non banned one. Can anyone confirm this as i would if i could but the 360 that i have that is banned is also toasted meaning not fixable let me know guys. _________________________________________________________ The one the only Scarface!!

I have to head out the door, but someone should put this up as a news story on our site ASAP and get it up on DIGG. Should get a lot of traffic

Unbrick banned consoles??? What are they up to. Why would they bother, did they screw something up before, did they enable another hack?
Personally, i'm steering clear of m$ updates. _________________________________________________________ Opinions are like arse holes, everybody has one and your's stinks.
