    So, this article (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/banned-xboxes-flood-ebay) about all the xbox 360s that were banned recently and subsequently popping up for sale on ebay got me thinking.

    Is this a nice cheap way for me to get a second xbox for the bedroom? I take it the xbox will function as normal and my live profile won't be flagged in anyway as long as I keep it offline? I won't even have it connected to the network so no risk there. Or am I overlooking something?
