I bought an Xbox S series at a pawn shop today & I can’t sign in due to it being banned. Is...

Sorry, but no. There's no way to have a console unbanned. You would have to contact the pawn shop to see if you can return it or exchange it.

wow, im here too, got banned, they told me to go to forum. how is this helping anything, now im just in a room full of pissed of gamers. UNBAN ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought my xbox last week from a pawn shop, and when i try to sign in it says this system is
banned, and i never even got to play it. pawn shop said they wont take it back because technically the system isnt broken... and now im screwed out of 130 dollars

I just wish they wouldn't ban the xbox itself. Main reason why is some people might just sell it to a pawn shop. All the pawn shop does is check to see if it works and plays games.

But I guess you get what you pay for in the end

Obviously thats why it was in a pawn shop.

It makes no difference if its still sealed,consoles can be banned for many reasons other than being modified.

I've purchased several 360's and plenty of other electronics used before. I'd still never buy one from Craigslist. Even if it's not banned today, it could be tomorrow and you have no recourse. Craigslist is great for furniture and things like that, but when
it comes to electronics (especially something like an Xbox that can be banned), I want that guarantee. I've also never seen electronics in a pawn shop or flea market for less than what I can find them on ebay for.
