Flea Bay advise you to make a claim via PAYPAL if you are sold a banned xbox – and a fat lot of good that will do you, you must be simple minded if you think PAYPAL will compensate you, their policies are not worth the bytes they are written with as there are so many “wriggle out” clauses. I am speaking from experience and I wouldent and dont use PAYPAL for any transaction.

1. no… there are broken ones, rrod’d consoles and various used but nothing that says banned (i just looked)
2. no, you can not use xbmc on a 360 as it has a completely different graphics chipset implementation that does not work on 360s ps3s or Wiis…

there are some proof of concept videos showing xbmc running on a 360 but there is a LOT of emulation going on to even get it to that point and they are not running it natively.

if you want to run xbmc on a console pick up an xbox1 for that (but honestly, xbmc works better on an actual PC these days…. just my opinion from using it in windows linux and on an xbox1.

Why bother? You can buy an unbanned, RROD console off fleabay for around £30, fix it yourself in a couple of hours. Not that I’d recommend buying anything off feeBay anymore, they really are screwing the sellers for everything they can get….

No point in pirating stuff when you can rent games, or buy them cheap, complete them and sell them for what you bought them for?
