Sorry for necroposting, but I figured it's better than trashing up the forums with yet another "softmod and xbox-live" thread. :S

Anyway, my question is:
At what point there is risk of getting your XBox360 banned from XBox live? Can you get banned if you play online with a modded firmware (but with original purchased DVD), or only if you're playing online using a backup? Would there still be risk if I play backups offline and only use original DVDs online?

thanks.
