Modchips are not illegal, and you can use backups as long as you have the original. Even if they can detect modchips, they cant do anything unless they actually come to your house and check to see if you have the original or not.

Theres a way, MS can scan you X-box, just as Dino Crisis, did for PS1. Microsoft isn't just gonna set back and let you play burned games, there going to do something.

Live will work on a modded Xbox. I'm a Live beta tester, and have been playing online with a XIOS modded system for at least 2 weeks now.

But you don't know if microsoft is going to improve it's software, also you are actually doing something illegal by playing xbox live with a modded console, the legal has just become illegal if that happens, because if you signed a contract (or agreed to a contract) that says you can't have a mod chip, then you can't have one legally. Now I personally think that microsoft should go to hell, and never come back. I want them to go stick a rod up their a$$ and never make anything like the xbox again. I also don't like the fact that they are so suspicious of their own customers. To microsoft consumers are guilty until proven innocent. I think that that is horrible, and that's why I'm buying an xbox when (modded) they are really cheap, and I won't buy a single game that microsoft gets royalties from.
