Craigslist has loads of modded 360s that were banned
With recent the recent wave of modded Xbox 360 console bans by Microsoft, loads of these boxes are going up on Craigslist.
According to a report on CNET, these modded come with a “slew of hit titles” if you want one despite the fact you can’t log into Live with ‘em. One listing promised a console with a 20Gb hard drive; 20 HD movies; and 13 games including Madden 2010, Modern Warfare 2, and NBA 2K10.
Apparently, these folks are selling the banned consoles to get money for a new one. No doubt. It also seems it’s just the console and not the account that has been banned.
More through the link.

Because banning the account would lead them to the PS3 so you just ban the console and wait for more re-buyers who will do the same thing again when there’s another exploit that M$ can’t detect.

Greenberg will conveniently forget all about this when he comments on December’s healthy NPD figures for the 360.
