Indeed, this article is BS there is no proof whatsoever for the time being that MS is banning modded 360's, the whole thing is based off some random comment by a guy who apparently who heard it through his wife's tennis parter's gardner, or his "brother who works at MS" etc etc...come on. Take a look at some real xbox forums and you will see that precisely nobody has been banned. There are some problems with 2 of the Samsung firmwares given the recent dashboard update (versions ms25 and ms28), which are easily fixed by reflashing the drives.
Unless someone can post actual proof of a banned 360 this is a complete hoax, in fact the conspiracy theorist in me would say that it's a half-assed attempt by ms to spread baseless rumours (seeing as it's been slashed it may well have worked...)
