360 ISOs are very easy to find but by making a system with a high failure rate and banning users for flashing consoles and/or playing backups, M$ has done a lot to combat piracy on the 360. Yes it happens but not to the level that we've seen with the PS1 and PS2. And this is probably a significant reason behind the 360's relatively high software attach rate. Flashing voids the warranty so if you get RRoD/e74, you are screwed unless you can successfully fix the console yourself. Piracy is impossible on the PS3 but yet 360 still sells more software. If the console were more reliable and if they didn't ban people for playing backups and flashing their dvd drives, I think the 360 attach rate would be near PS3 levels.

You can return the drive to stock firmware, with the exception of the Lite-ON. If you were smart and preserve the warranty sticker, you can still get it replaced for free. I know a lot of people that sent their 360 in with iXtreme flashed to the drive and they still got it replaced. So that leads me to believe that Microsoft probably isn't going to check what firmware is on the drive. So even in the case of the Lite-ON, you still could have a high chance of getting your RRoD/E74 360 replaced for free.

Theres tons of 360 torrents out on the web. My Fav is *removed* It's hard to join because you can only join once a spot opens up. Very good upload rates. I tend to get around 400k/sec when downloading.

Heres a SS with some 360 games sorted by most seeders...

No new games out lately..
