My XBOX360 is about 1 year old, and I just purchased a 500 GB scorpio hard drive.

My question is, which modchip should I get?

I would like to still use Live for my purchased games, but not use Live for backup copies.

You might want to read up a bit. Firstly, the xbox 360 is not like the original xbox, you cannot play games off the hdd. The most you can do with the xbox is flash it to play burnt games.

Secondly, the largest hard drive you can use for the xbox 360 is 250gb, and only a few models can be flashed and will work. I'm not sure if you can use the WD scorpio hard drive on the xbox either.

He is. You can load them on the hd to provide faster load times, but will still need the disk in the drive for each and every game you want to play.
