I just bought a pre-owned Xbox 360 off gumtree and it has a console ban on it. Any help?

Pre-owned Xbox 360 possible console ban

I am thinking of buying a second hand xbox 360 for some casual gaming however I'm aware there is always the possibility that the console is banned and than bans will not be lifted even if the console has a new owner. I'm not all that interested in multiplayer
or similar but I can't really find any info on how restricted banned consoles are. Will I still be able to earn achievements on a banned console? If I sign into a banned console will the account I use be banned? Also is there any way to check in advance before
purchase if a specific console has been banned?

Thanks.

Pre-owned Xbox 360 possible console ban

your account won't be banned but I don't think you fully understand the issue

You cannot connect to live period on banned consoles so the only way you can use your profile is use a hd or a USB stick and sign in but it will always be off line with no ability to download content including new profiles or upload stats and when you resign
online you will lose.any achievements you earned while off line until you use a non banned console

It's best not to buy one used

Once a console is banned, it cannot be unbanned. You would need to return it to where it was purchased.

If it is a console ban, then there is nothing anybody can do. They will never un ban a console no matter if you purchased it pre owned.

If it's a console ban then it's permanent. Console bans are not issued lightly. If it was banned, there is a good reason for it. It's one of the risks you take when buying pre-owned instead of from an authorized seller.

If you buy it pre-owned from Game or Cex they should have checked it online to make sure its not been banned.

probably the safest way to buy a pre-owned console these days,a lot safer than fleabay ;-)
