I was thinking the other day and I might buy a broken Xbox 360 off Ebay for around £20 - £40 then send it off to Microsoft for it to get fixed, I will then get this one chipped so I can get free games and keep my original xbox 360 unchipped so I can go on Xbox Live. If I use the HDD on my original Xbox in the chipped one I wont get banned will I? Just wondering... :P

Most spare/repair Xbox 360s I've seen go for a lot more than £20

Thanks didn't think I would, so just got to wait for the broke 360 to arrive now. :P
It's taken Microsoft 3weeks so far to fix my original 360 *groan*

thing is, yes its 2 quid games for the chipped one, but you still have to buy the game anyway if you want to go on xbox live with it.

Yeah, the ones on I want to go on live with I will buy, the ones I just want to play I will get for free. ;)
My mate has his 360 flashed and still plays on Live. Dunno, if that's the same process you're talking about though.

MS keep releasing updates though for the chippers out there and so people are being banned.

Thats why I've got two 360s so I don't get banned on xbox live. :(

Calm down a bit.
Chipping your 360 means that it will use a different operating system to the normal un-chipped xbox. And so, when an update comes out it can identify that the OS is different and be like "*** is this os doing here?" and then bans that xbox from using Live totally.
But i've heard, it doesn't ban the account, it bans the xbox.

fooel is just a sort of play around that we do at school, it isn't meant to be offensive. :) If it was then sorry.

Marky your talking about nothing you know about,
microsoft bring a dashboard/Update every Season (i think)
Microsoft can outsmart you trust me,
they can detect anything whats not surposed to be in the 360 99% of teh time
you know nothing about xbox 360's and microsoft.
