2nd hand xbox question

marvsins · 2010-12-21 22:34:47

My cousin bought a 2nd hand xbox in gamestop and when he tried to sign up for xbox live it says the console is banned. Should he bring it back or is there a way around this ??

Bring it back and get a replacement. Microsoft won't unban

Moral of the story is, second hand consoles are often dodgy
