I was wondering if there is any safe way of playin Xbox 360 games before their release date? I don't want to risk getting banned from Xbox Live.

Then don't play games before release dates, it is that simple.

I don't understand how you would be able to play a game that hasnt been released? And if you're smart, you wouldnt connect to Xbox Live when playing one? That seems to be the common sense decision.

disconnecting to live makes no difference because your xbox logs what and when you play. best way, as stated is not to do it, but you can also create a 2nd silver account and save to a memory card to keep the date stamp of a game off of your hdd.of course the silver account wouldnt let you play online, but you could play single player modes.

download your games, they usually hit torrents and newsgroups 1-3 weeks before street date on average.

Come talk with us on efnet at #elitemods !!! or just click ME

ALSO, DO NOT SEND ME MESSAGES ON LIVE REGARDING MODDING CONSOLES, OR HOW I PLAYED A CERTAIN GAME EARLY. I WILL NOT RESPOND. I WILL INSTEAD DELETE YOUR MESSAGE, AND BLOCK ALL COMMUNICATION FROM YOU. JUST SEND ME A PM ON HERE.

I just unplug my ethernet and the hard drive when playing before release date.......although there are rumors that the game can still be logged on the mobo somewhere since the new dashboard is still utilized without the HD installed.
