Hey guys. First post here. :)

I'm looking to buy an xbox360 specifically to mod it so I can play burnt games...however i know very little about modding other than it's possible.

I'm curious if there is a 'best' mod.
I know someone who could flash the dvd firmware (i believe) to play burnt games....just curious if i should go with that or if there's a better way to do it.

also, what are some potential consequences for modding my 360? i heard you can get banned from live...if that's the case can you still play offline? can i buy a fresh subscription?

any replies are appreciated.

Flashing the firmware is the best way. You can get banned playing backups on LIVE. You can still play offline. You would have to buy another 360 for LIVE, they ban the console, not your LIVE account.

thanks for the quick reply.
just curious how likely i would be to get banned.
i know you can't see the future or anything, just curious if it's likely or not.
a couple people i work with have modded 360s and they seem to not be worried about a ban...wondering if they're ignorant or if it's reasonably safe.

if you have a modded xbox360, how long has it been modded without problems?

There are a ton of people who are playing on LIVE with modded consoles and backups. That's all I can say. If you're using the latest firmware and playing stealth backups which you've made yourself correctly, then go for it.

But chances are good MS will find new ways to detect backups in the near future.

It's a cat and mouse game now. Eventually you will get banned.

The best way is to Firmware flash your xbox. It's free. :) No soldering. :)
