Xbox Live After Upgrading My Hard Drive?
« on: May 25, 2009, 02:48:00 AM »
I think its pretty hard to detect but if they would develope something to detect it it would cost to much money for the little bit of people that are using modified hdd's. Its the pirate game users they are after but im a newb so i could be all wrong.

Xbox Live After Upgrading My Hard Drive?

I'm wondering this too, but the way I see it is the HDD's are not "married" to that specific system. When you buy a replacement 360 HDD from the store, they work in all systems, so if everyone is using the same SS and what not, wouldn't that be the same thing. I'm so on the fence about doing this for the same reason.

I replaced the inside of the Halo Ed HD with that of a 120GB Xbox 360 HD.  Hasn't caused any problems though not sure how it'd go down with a non-Xbox hd.

No one has been banned as of yet for doing this.  One of the above posts were correct in the assumption that people modifying the hard drive for more storage aren't going to be the priority of Microsoft - it is going to be the people modifying their DVD drives so they can play burned games.

I have modified my three 360's with 120GB drives, and all of them still access Xbox Live just fine.

Nothing is ever certain, but realistically they want you download more stuff from them so why would they complain about you adding a different hard drive to accommodate that?
