Microsoft..Dun..Goof'd?

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

Code:
The Tech Game - Xbox 360 Dashboard Update 2.0.12625.0
Simply put that on the root of a USB stick and reboot the console, it should automatically start installing the update.

-Got this from TTG News

A lot of people have confirmed that this is true. It actually make your console orignal and you cant play pirated games though

Do you know why they did that ? I'm already on that dashboard but have AP 2.5 Challenge Failed would that also be removed ?
 
I think its a good move...

Banned consoles users are pirating games anyway... With this you can bring back a small percentage back to original games which will only benfit sales and revenue...

The ban period was like a probation period for these users :P
 
Its just to piss off sony and get more more people who use psn for online and have modded xbox for piracy. Sony are having bad days already and this will add more to their wounds

Anyways just posted what most others were posting , i dunno the technical details. However if you download that firmware and update your xbox with it i heard you cant play pirated games anymore but will get into xbox live.

Will Test it out myself.

I would recommend other not to use it though. Many are saying it works but still not so sure myself
 
I guess the dashboard which flashed the DVD firmware to stock firmware is still not out yet
