Pull all those banned consoles out from under your bed or from in your closet, because Microsoft just made one of the biggest mistakes they have ever done!

Earlier this morning, on April 26th, Microsoft unbanned every single console that has ever been banned from Xbox Live. It is un certain if Microsoft has a backup of all the banned consoles but as for now, there are no signs of the consoles being rebanned. With the unbanning of all the KV's this means all your Jtags will be unbanned as well, however booting them will still result in a near instant ban!

It would be clever if Microsoft did this to inspire the people deprived of PS3 to reuse the server, however this seems more like a human error. Regardless of the situation, someone is going to be in a lot of trouble for this one!

In order to do this you are going to need to take your banned console and plug it into live, then you are going to have to manually update your dash using this file http://www.fortresscrafts.com/systemupdate.zip . Simply put that on the root of a USB stick and reboot the console, it should automatically start installing the update.

I was hoping to read about them unbanning all banned accounts.

NEVERMIND.

Nah, there's no way M$ would do something like that on purpose. I'd hate to be the guy that accidentally pressed that button.

lmao some dude is getting fired if thats true. i got my console unbanned by just calling m$ and saying i was sorry and i wont do it again, and the dude actually did! but then i got banned again like 4 months later lol

Looks like all the consoles were banned again now, according to this.

Heh, this is going to make modded x boxes a little harder to find now. Just when I finally saved up for a banned x box too.

I thought Microsoft was playing the 'savoir of the blunderers' cards. After Sony screwed up big time, Microsoft would show their soft side by allowing even hacked consoles to use their servers again. It would of been almost perfect, if it wasn't just a simple mistake.
