I believe it's banned by MAC address, which you can't change. I've never heard of MS unbanning a machine. Once it's banned, it's banned for good.

LiamGTR Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm guessing your buying off a friend/eBay or something? If it's a 2nd hand one from a shot (i.e. GAME) juust take if back and they'll give you a new one or money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Pay via eBay/PayPal so atleast you've got some protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Ask the seller a question, if you have proof in writing from him that it's not banned and it turns out otherwise you will be able to open a dispute with ebay. I cant imagine many of them are banned anyway? Thats like being wary of buying a used car incase it has an angry snake in the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
