But then you won't be able to play backups on XBConnect, etc. And, maybe plugging the cable in when the game is going, it will still connect to Live.

HD swapping won't work. It detects a modchip, not a HD.

The way I see it.. MS should not let Xbox Live check for mod chips.. that way, they'd make more money... I mean.. They are loosing potential customers.. Mod chip or not. Why ban users from playing on a service which they have to pay for.

Not smart business..

Just have the MS dash be xboxdash.xbe on the upgraded HD, and have the HD always locked. There isn't a point yet for HD swapping for Xbox Live. Live doesn't search your HD at all yet.

Yeah and let people cheat on Xbox's crown jewel right now? Hell, I won't be playing then.

I think they're more concerned about protecting developers and keeping them around for Xbox2 than they are about pissing off modded XBL users, which may account for like 0.2% of the entire Xbox customerbase.
