Hey

I am thinking about buying a 360 shortly and have been reading up on how to backup games etc and really just have one question.

Assuming I have created a backup with samsung drive/PC etc, do I still need to flash the firmware on the 360 to ensure that the backup disk works? or does a backup created like this work without changing the firmware in the drive..... from reading all through this thread it kind of sounds like you need to change the firmware but no one has come out and said it

...
On the other hand I am hearing that backups created in this manner and bitset to DVD-ROM are identical to the original disk? Can some one clarify this once and for all for me??

I was hoping to play on XBL with the 360 so wasn't planning on modding the inbuilt drive unless I really needed to.... those of you who have modified it, do you play on XBL with backups created in this manner... anyone been banned... I understand in future new checks etc might be implemented so its never 100% safe, but whats the general lowdown on this?

This thread has been most enlightening on the subject.... lots of misleading info on this subject elsewhere so its good to get some solid answers. Thanks!
