Xbox 360
As many of you may know, with the current Microsoft bann on Xbox 360 modders, the lone gunman, C4eva, has been quoted that he is hard at work on the next generation iXtreme firmware for the Xbox 360 console. The new firmware is being referred as Lite Touch. As quoted from the #fw IRC channel, “[c4eva] new fw in dev/test – ixtreme LT (Lite Touch) – more efficient , minimal patching , all aspects of fw indistinguisable from orig, no more bans, No ETA!”
With the new firmware being released, it’ll most likely support the LiteOn drives first.
Back to the bans. If you’ve been banned, theirs not much you can really do to un-ban your console. Their are some hackers out there, trying to change that though. However, the process of unbanning your console can become quite tedious, and is not for the average user.

With the current release of GTA IV, “Episodes from Liberty City“, it’s hard to think about Grand Theft Auto V. But the co-founder of Rockstar Games, Dan Houser, said they’re already thinking about the sequel to GTA V. “We’ll think of a city first, then the characters” according to Dan Houser.
With the current work set on Red Dead Redemption and finishing that up, they’re already beginning to think about the sequel to GTA IV. The upcoming sequel, GTA V, according to Dan Houser, will require a script around 1,000 pages.

As many of you already know, Microsoft has thrown down the banhammer once again. While the exact number is unknown, it’s believed to be in the neighborhood of over 1 million consoles that have been banned from live. What everyone should remember is that if you modded your console, you took the risk of being banned from Live.
Anyways, saw this post, thought it was interesting.

The bans from Xbox Live for modified consoles to play pirated backups are still occurring. As of now, no one has determined how Microsoft is detecting the modified consoles.
If you have a modified Xbox 360 that you use to play copied games, best to stay away from Live.

As if Halloween isn’t enough for today, Microsoft has confirmed that it has started the mass banning of modified drives in the Xbox 360. These drives are known to be flashed with iXtreme Firmware. This flashing allows members of the Xbox community to play Pirated games in their console, or what we like to refer to it as, “Backup Games.”
In response to inquiries from IGN, a Microsoft spokesperson said:
?We have taken action against a small percentage of consoles that have been modified to play pirated game discs. In line with our commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of our Xbox LIVE community, we are suspending these modded consoles from Xbox LIVE.?
To keep from being banned, users who have their drive flashed, should always remember to verify their backups with ABGX. ABGX will verify that the backup you’re going to play, is “Stealth Verified”, which will stop Microsoft from determining that you have a flashed drive.
You should also make sure you’re running the latest version of iXtreme Firmware, and verifying your backups with abgx.
