I agree - and I'd like to add, that just because you play copied games, doesn't' mean they were pirated. I myself backup my games, been burnt by "no returns/exchanges" on games, so I back mine up, and put the originals in a safe place. I've already had my xbox scratch 2 originals, I downloaded them and burned them, where's the piracy? Everyone jumps to conclusions, way too fast, unless it's their own business, so stay out of mine (ours).
Before everybody gets too excited...The major point is the kernel version it will work on. The followingwas taken from another foum-Quote- The exploit only works on versions of the kernel between build 4532 (released October 31, 2006) and build 4548 (released in on November 30 of the same year). The kernel bug that the hack exploits was introduced by that first build, and patched by Microsoft in version 4552, which was released on January 9. As such, the hack will only work on Xbox 360s that were connected to Xbox Live and received patches up until October but were then disconnected from the Internet and left unpatched since then. Microsoft was able to issue a patch so quickly because the hackers contacted them in December with full details of the exploit.In other words, if your 360 does not fit this description you will beunable to perform this hack. And it is so far impossible to downgradeyour firmware to 4532. Even if you were somehow able to downgrade it youwould not be able to play on xbox live anymore. There are probably only a few thousand 360's worldwide that can be used.If you don't have one.... forget it. It won't work.
@klawz - I call bulls**t. How much did your mod chip cost? How long did it take you to research a mod chip and install it? Either your time is worth nothing or your 360 eats a s**tload of discs for modding to be a wise financial choice for someone who doesn't pirate games.Come on, you're a pirate and you know it. But don't worry, we won't hold it against you.
Of course, bear in mind that some games upgrade your kernel version too, when they run... so don't be surprised if you find your console upgraded, even if it's not connected to xbox live.
@PecanHead - If you knew anything you'd realize that there are no 360 mod chips, and that modding the 360 to play backup copies of games is as simple as replacing the firmware of the drive (read: easy if you know what you're doing, and also free)

If you were to buy a new Xbox 360 at a store now, how dificult would it be to install this particular firmware (build 4548) on it?
