    I was offered a banned 360 and was thinking it might be a good deal since it's dirt cheap to get for my parents to use as a DVD player and Media Center Extender. Is Live the only thing that gets crippled? Does this mean it wont go online to get cover art for ablums in MCE? Anything I should know?

    thanks in advance

    I may be wrong, though I'm pretty sure.

    From the extensive whining of banned console owners I've read on this forum in the last week I can tell you that the media centre will not work. And I dont think installs and such work either. It'll play games offline but thats it
