I am thinking about modding a 360 system at a friends house because he gave me permission to do so.

I just want to 100% know the consequences of getting banned before I do it to make sure we are ready to deal with them.

I have read (please tell me if wrong or if there is more to consider):

1. Banned from live, but thats ok because you can get on live using a different account.

2. All data from the banned console won't be read on other consoles, but you can still play games on the console fine.

3. Need to burn games using a Dual Layer Media Burner and on what kinda DVDs? Dual Layer DVD's, preferably Verbatim

4. Can the HD be used on other systems?

Is that all?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

EDIT
Two Different Kinds of Bans:
1. Account - Gamertag banned from live, must make a new one
2. Console -

Thanks for the input, but there is still some more I would like to know.

1. The banned console will only write data it alone can understand right? No other systems will be able to understand any data from the banned system.

First of all, you need DVD+R DL, -R DL won't work, has something to do with the layerbreak. I personally prefer Clonecd, but that's just a matter of taste, imgburn should be fine too.

This is so wrong. Burning too slow (forcing the media to be burned with speeds it doesn't support) can be a reason for a coaster (as seen here), this whole "burn slow" thing is a rumor from the days when burners had no buffer underrun protection and so on. I burn my games on Verbatim DVD+R DL at a speed of 8x and had no speed related coaster so far (only had 3 coasters, 2 because I didn't set the layer break and one because I tried burning with XBC and it froze halfway through).
