(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With the latest update for the PlayStation 3, as well as an update recently for Call of Duty: Black Ops, has come a wave of banned PlayStation 3 and PSN accounts. While many will be cheering at the news that hackers will be less likely to be cheating them or even demoting them, one problem has become apparent rather quickly. What if they ban the wrong person?

By heading over to the official Black Ops forums, you will see a plenty of threads about being banned and questions on how or when they will be unbanned. While a most do admit to cheating it seems not only are some denying hacking but some didn’t even own the console to do it.

One member of the website seems to of been banned although not previously playing Black Ops or even owning a PS3. IssY_I posted in one thread “When i want to play black ops it says my console is banned permanently???i have payed 150$ for the Ps3 (i bought it yesterday (used) and just came home with a new copy of b-ops! but why is my system banned?”

If this problem becomes more wide spread, with banned consoles populating the used PS3 market, will the sales dry up? Or will this be an unfortunate one off? Either way lets hope at least for IssY_I’s sake they find a solution.

this is bad shit

Well. Some people do deserve the ban, however, I know many people who didn't do crap and got banned. I'm staying off PSN entirely until Feb 1st.

maby sending an mail to treyarch and explain it ?

if i didnt hacked on BlackOps just on Mw2 ( CL lobby ) but did no prestige hack or emblems and such things just modded lobby online ,
but i made it nice for every one and got allot nice messages that its a cool hack ( i do allot gun game online on mw2 for ppl who dont have blackops or dont like it )

most people love it that i do that and only a few bad messages =D

but IW doesnt ban ppl .
i tried blackops and iam not banned but i dont play it much cuz MW2 is allot better xD

so i would try to send treyarch a mail and hope they unbann or somthing ?
give it a shot maby it works .

hope this helped something ?

Grtz.MysticalX

It's Going to be risky to buy 2nd hand ps3 just for blackops , there be a chance it's console banned

would be a massive Price Drop i think

Why would somebody sell their ps3 if they got banned in BO?
lol

The guy who bought the ps3 used and it was console banned is lying. If he really bought a PS3 used from the store and it was console banned you can just take it back to the store and tell them it is console banned and they will most likely replace it with a receipt. Its just another story to try and get unbanned.

its called internet shopping dumb ***

Hmm, I better sell my banned ps3 while I still have the chance :carling:
