I didn't say it was complicated, idiot, I said playing the original is even easier - which it clearly is. Unless you consider opening a game case and inserting a disc more complicated than <insert your pathetic pirate avoidance workarounds here>.
Yes, I'm clearly trolling by pointing out the obvious log flaw in almost everyone who's posted here trying to get their quite obviously pirated backups working on Live. The mere fact nobody thought of using their original disc only further illustrates the real intent of users here....
The saving grace is that you're nearing the end of your time now. Pretty soon backups are going to be for offline use only, just how it should be and was on the original Xbox, and you'll be SOL. Enjoy it whilst it lasts

</end of my input to this thread, as the deluded pirates arrive to defend themselves>
I own every game I have a copy of bar cod4 as some little fool stole it, I much prefer playing copies due to kids I have a 7 year old that wouldnt know how to take care of a football never mind a DVD.
Its is a pain and could be costly to me, I know there a hole load of folks that do it for other reasons and with them I agree, the games are overpriced and on the hole not worth it.
A friend got MW3 and beat it in 3 hours, he doesnt have the net so a waste of cash. (Luckly we link up weekly)
That being said there are 1000s upon 1000s doing it for my reason, I know 4 off hand.
What I want to say really is F**K OFF TROLL.
Also some dude asked if you need CFW to use xkey360.
No, quite the opposite in fact. You need a dump of the original drive firmware to configure Xkey. The good news is that's all you need to configure Xkey.
