I have an xbox with 1.4 iextreme firmware. I do not want to play games online but i would like to sign onto xbox live and buy a couple XBLA games like LIMBO and SHADOW COMPLEX. If i go online will it still ban me even though I am not using the disk drive and playing unauthorized back ups? Or do they scan the system and can tell what firmware u have? Thanks.

No one knows for certain what Microsoft looks for when you go on XBOX live. I can tell you that I have friends that play backups offline on older firmware, and use live for netflix and haven't had any problems...but that doesn't mean they won't have problems in the future.

This is probably the best answer anyone can give you...and that's to say specifically, when you mod an xbox 360, you're taking the chance that it may get banned.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

Hey Creaky, this is probably the thing you do most huh? Move threads from Xbox to Xbox 360 forums. It must be maddening.
