we're going to get banned for having the NXE on our consoles?
As such, we havn't pirated anything or modified our consoles in any way that violates the xbox live TOS (i don't think)

I’ve gotten a few messages and seen some forum threads pop up on console bannings so I thought I’d post and let folks know what’s up. In our our continued effort to keep gameplay safe and secure for our community of more than 14 million members, Microsoft has taken action against a small percentage of Xbox 360 consoles that have been illegally modified in order to play pirated games. You should know that modifying your Xbox 360 console is also a violation of the Xbox LIVE terms of use, will void your warranty and result in a ban from Xbox LIVE. The health of the video game business depends on customers paying for the genuine products and services they receive, both from manufacturers and the local companies that support them. We will continue to employ and bolster anti-piracy security measures to counter piracy in the gaming industry and improve security in the Xbox LIVE community.
I’m sure it would have been mentioned if you got banned for using the NXE considering that was posted up today/yesterday depending where you are, so basically you got owned for pirating games.
so what are you saying?

As has been posted more times than I can count, plus confirmed by Major Nelson. If you install the NXE you cant access the live servers till its launched this does not mean your banned your xbox is just unable to connect.
The next person who moans asking if there gonna get banned, or warn everyone without any creditable source or evidence, will get there post deleted.
This is your final notice, your Xbox Live account will not be banned by installing this. You just won't be allowed on live on that console till its launched. It will be banned if your a pirate and modded your console to play pirated games but thats another issue altogeather from installing the NXE.

okay well thanks for the reply, i wasn't moaning, i couldn't care less if i get banned i can afford to get a new console....
however when i attempted to sign into live earlier....i got BAN QUEUE error codes....how do you explain this??
the only explanation i can come up with is that the NXE Server/XBL thinks my console is baned because my console's ID isn't on this "list" that can connect to live using the NXE
Your explanation is the most likely. As posted direct from Microsoft any console that gets the NXE by accident or deliberate means will just be disallowed from connecting to Xbox Live until its officially released. That stance has not changed. Do remember, the NXE can be installed by accident if you use a memory card or hard drive which has been used on a console with the NXE installed therefore MS would become the most retarded and hated company if they banned people for honest accidents.
They have said they would not ban, and I doubt they would say that then change their mind without saying something.
The only banning that has taken place is for people who have modified there consoles DVD drive and flashed it to play pirated games!

Thanks Nimrod for clearing things up, you just relieved me of my worries.
I could care less about not being able to sign in to LIVE until the 19th, it's only a week away, and I've gone longer.
What's funny is, today at school I handed out NXE install CD's to everyone who had a 360, I burned like 20 last night. Everyone was very thankful, especially my friend who doesn't even have LIVE.
Once again, than you.
=)
you guys dont get it i made another post about me getting banned. I downloaded this like a week ago then i got in the 2nd wave preview program and it was updating my xbox then in the middle of it BAM
microsoft even sent out an email with people who have the preview program to TRY not to put their hard drive in to someone elses and it could lead to a ban
you guys are so fucking stupid i dont even care anymore have fun
Hey man you sure know how to read. Maybe you got banned because maybe you have a modded console?
