So, the situation is this. I once bpught a hardeare banned XBOX Series X, specifically for offline play.

I knew that it was / is hardware banned and did my research before buying it.

I made a mistake though, thinking that even without a profile saved on the console I could play offline and save my progress.

Unfortunately that is not the case.

There is a way to at ieeast play games offline without being connected to XBL. Just set the console to home console or something and set it to offline.

Still, I can't save my progress offline.

Now that I think about it, even if I manage to do that, some disc based games don't even have the full game on disc and a download is required regardless.

Maybe I will just resell it as banned and get myself some games for my xbox one instead.
 
Brutal. It's crazy how you can be banned off playing a console. Cucked. Modern gaming is cucked
 
Can you call Microsoft and ask them to unban you? I'm sure they would if it's a new user.

I could call Microdooft, but reak again, I have bought this console, knowing that it was hardware banned.

I just wantes to play offline anyway. Hell, even on my own, unbanned consoles I never played online.

I use them the oldschool ways, to play offline and on split screen with friends.

Well, when I still had friends.

So, why buy it for full price if I only want to play offline anyway?
That was my reason.
Now I realize though that at least xbox console cannot be used completely offline.

I know from the PS4 that you don't even have to set it up online at all, to be able to play right away.

You can immediately instal games offline and save your progress locally.

As for the PS5 though, it is the same shit now as xbox, from what I know so far.

Yeah, I'd understand if they'd just ban the console from online play, but it is banned from XBL entirely and since I can't even log into my account because of this, I cannot set it as my homeconsole anyway, which is why in theory I would be able to save progress locally but since I can't connect to my account / sign in, I can't do that, so I can't save my progress.

Games work on it. I could install them from disc and play them also, but not make any saves.

It is basically an expensive paper weight. Iight sell it or wait for some jailbreak to come out for it.

What's stupid is that you can be banned for being mean online nowadays. You can't even trash talk in VC.
I doubt it will be capable of being jail broken.

One of the reasons why I don't play online is this.

During my online gaming days I would allways use offensive names and always trash talk. It was part of the experience and a means to vent.
Never got in any trouble over it and why should I?

Just another kid trash talljing and being edgy. It was normal back then. That was simply part of the internet experience.

I don't even use a profile picture on my xbox love account due to fear of getting a suspension.

My name is super sterile and the profile picture is just the stock image used when you don't upload your own pfp.

Why? It's because I have read stories from guys who go lt banned over a cat as pfp and even just photos of themselves.

Who the fuck knows what else they might ban one for.

My consoles' status even shows that I have never played online.

If Microsoft somehow decides to still suspend it or my account, I will sue those fucks to oblivion and back.

Microsoft is only good for playing single player games. Xbox is beyond dead for multiplayer. They discarded their legacy to appeal to women and troons who can't stand a few mean words.

Still remember the 360 days. That was a wild ride.

Wish I had one back then
Watched doesn't of gameplay video for laughs.

Screetching kids was the best shit.

That was when gaming was targeted towards men. We'll never go back. The industry has too many women and fags now. It's rotten to the core

Man, this is all so blackpilling. Even STEAM is pozzed and nowadays I am afraid to even speak online because in the heat of the moment I might say something worthy of a permanent suspension of my entire account, which has too many awesome games.

That is why I am rooting for GOG. There I can at least download and own all of my games.

I wish toys for bob would release the reignited trilogy there.

Then I would abandon steam and consoles forever.

All I want is Spyro on GOG. They already have Alien Isolation on there, which is already a classic imo.

Yes, I know that you are playing a foid, but tbh, her character was still feminine and not overly masculine acting or stronger than men type of bullshit.

She was still realistically vurnerable as a foid. I also liked the story. At least in that game most foids were reasonable, unlike irl. LoL

Modern gaming for you
 
This is why im on PC. Microsoft jeets cant remotely disable it
 
you'd have to smash it up and get a new one tbh
 
Banning a console from simply saving games is nuts

Not a second thought pirating everything I can
 
No, you can do nothing with it. Microsoft consoles can not be jailbroken like Sony consoles can. I have had an Xbox Series X and could not even play Far Cry 5 offline, lol. You need a profile for everything.

I would purchase PS4 PRO or PS5 both of which CAN be jailbroken. I don't play video games but I was able to mod my brothers PS4 Pro and all games are now free and obviously playable offline.

From what I know the PS4 consoles don't even have to be online ever, except for multiplayer, obviousely.

But you don't even need a profile to save your progress.

If this is true, which I can't confirm, I'd switch to PS4 in a heartbeat and sell all my xbox shit.

I mean, I get that they'd hardware ban a console because someone tried to do some seriousely shady shit, but at least give that guy the option to save his progress offline.

We did pay money for it after all.
 
Btw, it is funny how I cannot save my progress beecause I can't connect to the XBLN but I can download updates for the console and I can install the latest updates for my disc based games after installing said games.

Currently trying GTA IV on my banned series X. Jfl.
 
Daym, GTA IV runs so smoothly on the Series X.

Tasty.

I wonder how GTA V will fare.

Yes, it's true
 
Use that useless silicone brick as a new throwable objects that you can use to defeat foids walking near your home.
 
>hardware ban on a console
Holy fuck jeet$oft truly are evil
 
After some more research I have found out that technically the console can be used offline, but one MUST have an xbox live account and sign in with it at least once AND turn the console to their home console.

It apparently only works for one console per account, so you have to chose wisely.

Any other consoles you may own you won't be able to play and save offline.

Once you have chosen your home console, you can then go offline forever, afaik, and save offline.

But if your console is hardware banned from the xbox live network, you can't even sign in, and if you can't do that you can't turn said console into your home console.

In other words I am shit out of luck.

I will salvage the 1 tb ssd m.2 drive for my PC and other parts of the console I will sell.

Afaik the mainboard and cpu / apu are worthless now because they are what is really banned.

Since the disc drive is married to the mainboard, it too is worthless, but if you want to use that foreign drive in your system, you just have to use the board of your disc drive on the foreign drive and it should work.

The system fan can also probably be sold as well as maybe the case.

Jfl.

I still won't get my moneys' worth out of this, but it would be less of a loss, I guess. :/

In my mind Xbox was in some kind of time warp where every new Xbox was like the 360.

I wish that was the case in reality. :feelsbadman:

Did you even read my initial post?

This console is hardware banned from the xbox live network.

I cannot sign into my profile.

I bought it off of a guy second hand.

i have a series X and ive called people niggers and kikes on voice chat multiple times and havent gotten banned, dude mustve done some heinous shit
 
@TooSomething Do you know at all if Playstation has this issue too?

It's really bad, right? Kind of makes me think I'd choose a PS over an Xbox just to avoid it, if I was going to buy a modern machine.

The PS5 has the same now, according to a former friend who owns one.
 
Learn from your mistake and get a PC next time

Ah wild.

What happened to the good ol' days, eh?

When you could say pretty much whatever you wanted and the worst that would probably happen is you'd get muted.

Learn from your mistake and get a PC next time

Surely without Windows 11 though because the PC has to deal with that now...

It's just a different kind of headache.

It's OK with Linux though :feelsautistic:
 
Can you remove the SSD and replace it with another one? You can buy spare parts on ebay.
