lol you can ask your god for as much help as you want. me, my backup plan is just rolling out. sold my modded xbox ( guy was told everything including chance of ban) went out bought halo reach bundle. and gonna wait till next firmware then mod my back up elite. i have 1 banned console that will be my offline only for LIFE. look at it this way. all the money you saved from softmod, you should be able to buy new console with the game of your choice to take online.
I am not fearing this update. I have an online console, JTAG, and banned console with the first leaked BETA dash (Fable 3 works on it so think I am okay). I just hope my JTAG and banned console never die
