Gentlemen, we are now in a state of necessity, and necessity knows no law - Reich Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg
As usually happens, this ban did not last for long as hacking groups found a way around this protection and with the latest iXtreme firmware, modded Xboxes are back on-line.
The katest firmware for TS-H943 DVD drive, the iXtreme firmware 1.0 promises to defeat all current and some future Xbox Live detection attempts, and will enable pirated software to be played on the console. The media type can only be Stealth Xtreme Xbox 360 backup or Stealth Xtreme Xbox backup. It, of course, boots all of the original software for both Xbox 360 and the first console.
Hitachi drives are not supported with this release, and there is no announcement about the timeframe when that drive will get patched. µ

Hi 

I have had my xbox live box banned but not my user account. Any idea why they would do this? I haven’t even taken the cover off it, let alone have it modified or anything.

The xbox support team refused to even give me the reason behind this decision, and just said that there is no recourse from the decision to ban my box.

Obviously I am extremely angry and frustrated. I can’t even find a contact number or email address of anyone else from xbox/Microsoft to talk to regarding this.

I would be helpful of any advice or assistance you could offer.

Regards

They ban your console serial number, they don't ban your xbox live account.
