If your modded, and you update, copied games wont work, unless you reflash back to the last one done. from what i read if you can wait for the 2.0 then wait, if not play only originals or dont update and stay offline. wish i would have known before!!

I was hoping for a Kinect update to allow Voice commands for Australian users.

Other than that no problems.

None the less I have a live account, but giving you guys a cheap and sleezy alternative.

I’d try and find some forums that have an active modding scene, and see if anyone has been able to get onto Netflix, or any of the other services that need an active Xbox LIVE GamerTag to use them. I wouldn’t try it without digging a little bit — wouldn’t want to risk it, you know?

If you don’t download it, you won’t be able to play on Xbox LIVE.

If you’ve got a modded 360, it may be better to stay off Xbox LIVE.
