you need to modify your firmware on the drive. as of right now, there is no bans for modding the firmware. the only bans are related to people who make bad backups and playing them. if you are intrested, i can get technical but for the sake of your question, ill just say that the games that are “bad” have small sections in it that dont match perfectly and might lead you to getting banned. The drive gets modded and you can download games off the internet (usenet or torrents) and burn them on dual layer dvds (usually about $2 a piece). ---

I’m awaiting my xecuter blaster 360 for mine and my buddy’s 360’s. I was curious what dual layer dvd burners are good, specially for burning 360 games. I was going to get a Liteon LH-20A1H from newegg, but I read the reviews and a ton of people didn’t like them. They can either be IDE or SATA … but I prefer IDE ---

NEC here as well. Only burned one coaster 360 game and that was because the dog slammed into my computer while it was burning. ---
