Help create a "safe" alternative to xbox live for modded consoles

[workaround]

Ive never played an xbox 360 but im about to buy a banned one for $35. I was wondering has anyone given any thought to the feasibility of creating a safe friendly alternative to xbox live? With over 1 million bans thats a lot of potential customers for a startup and who knows how many others out there would pay for the "safety" of a private/non microsoft server. Maybe this has already been done. if so please let me know. i can think of a few ways it can be done in PC networking terms, but then again i know almost nothing about xbox 360 programming, etc.

I would, for $35.00? You's have to be an idiot to NOT buy that. Where is it? I will buy it RIGHT NOW!

We don't have to think about anything, do not have to. There are already TWO services out there; XBCONNECT, and LINK KAI, guess Goggle isn't your friend.

You haven't look up anything, have you?

XLink Kai:
The OTHER problem, which you didn't research either was the >33ms PING limit. The Xbox 360 is designed by Microsoft to be incompatible with this kind of software. It will automatically drop connections if the ping is >33ms in system link connection.However a patch has been released to bypass this limit on J-tag xboxes.

This PING limit also presents problems with XBconnect and limits the number of games compatible.

You're going to have to do a LOT of development, and have many copyright infringement problems to make your own LIVE like service, so, GOOD LUCK!

thanks powerslave, i remember xbconnect since the original xbox days, i wasnt aware it was 360 compatable. thanks for the info. and BTW google isnt my friend because it records my searches and is basically the NSA, but you didnt do your research or you would know that. :P
Im sorry i had to waste your precious time, but i tried to find the information i was looking for on search engines and came up short, thats why after reading your posts i knew you were the high and mighty one when it comes to xbox 360. Once again thanks for the information, ill be sure to use it wisely.......

XBConnect is not 100% 360 compatible, there is a handful of games, BUT, JTAGed units are fully compatible with both, with the PING limit changed so everything works the way it should. So, where's that 35.00 BANNED unit, heh heh...
