I personally find NO evidence Rebug 4.80.1 has anything at all to do with the current Sony bans. 95% of these bans have been IP related, and many users dont seem to understand the differences....or I find tons and tons of grand assumptions being made without the slightest bit of logic to base them on.
I called Sony the other day in an attempt to help my friend get back on-line (he was IP banned, then later console banned) What they told me personally was....
1.) If you are IP banned, you will receive a message than says “You have been signed out of PSN.” Then you will not be able to sign back on BUT you can access the reg net.
2.) If you are account banned, you will receive an email from them explaining the reason for the ban.
3.) If you are console banned, ALL the accounts on that console will ALSO be banned.
As I spoke to them, they asked for the serial number off the concole in question so they could check and see if it was banned. Since it wasnt mine... I said I wasnt at home and couldnt give it to them. Then out of the blue, the customer service rep asked, “
o you play games off of your HD or from game disk?? I answered “both.” ____________
Two interesting facts turned up today..... My friend called Sony himself. He said they directly asked him if he was using a pirated or modified copy of GTA5 off his console. I said he just hung-up.
Also, after he was console banned, I gave him a private IDPS. He used it, and said he was banned within a few hours time. I then gave him a IDPS/PSID combo (I dumped from a broken board I have) for him to use in his edited PSNpatch cig. Hes been modding like hell and nothings happened so far. IDK.....
