Yeah , I've learned that the hard way . Updated the dash to the latest and then I tried to play Cod Black Ops ( which was ap25 ) and now I'm kinda flagged .... So coming this november ( or when the next ban wave will be ) good bye Xbox Live for me

So, you can backup the disks using a firmware modified DVD burner. i guess my question wasn't clear enough. Can they then be played back on untouched Xboxes or do you have to then have some kind of mod onboard the Xbox? Thanks.

No no , you don't get it .
With the new modding software , lt 2.0 you will be able to play pirated games of xbox 360 which are in the XDG3 format . On an untouched xbox you can only play original games .

Thanks, that was why I asked. This is an Xbox hardware mod so leads to Xbox live bans and all that. Probably hugely illegal in the US?

Illegal....not so sure . The only bad thing is that after you flash your xbox your warranty will be voided so no future repairs from Microsoft .
About the ban thing , no , not really . If you flash your xbox with Lt+ you will have no problem playing on xbox live ( I've been playing Nba 2k11 for a while on Xbox Live gold and nothing ) . The only thing is that you gotta be careful with the Ap25/26 , they might flag you ( like I think I am ) and you can get a ban when the next ban wave comes .
But honestly it's pretty safe , you just need to know what to avoid .
