Yes, but wouldnt it just be easier to get either a Xeno-360 or NME-V1.2 which have the Network Off feature so that whenever you sign into Xbox Live and a backup is in, it will automatically disconnect you from the network.

Yea, i think thats just a little bit easier than opening your xbox 360 constantly to remove and reinstall the chip.

No problem.  So have you decided what route you are going? If looking for a place with good prices, try www.foundmy.com  They have modchips and everything you need, and pretty quick shipping too!

I decided since I wont be playing Live! this year, I will keep my modchip intact. I just want one last confirmation, Once I remove the modchip later, my 360 will be fully..well..legalized and I can play Live! games without worry right?

maybe. you always run a risk when you modify your console. if your worried about being banned, don't mod it. read the pinned threads and you'll be aware of the risks.

It all depends.  If you install a modchip, chances are when you play backups it may be logged (into a memory unit) and once you sign into Xbox Live, even a year later, it will be uploaded to Microsoft, thus probably getting you banned.

So, honestly, the best way to not get banned is to get a second Xbox 360, transfer your data from your current memory unit to maybe something small like a memory card, and keep that safe and away from your modded console, and only go online with your unmodded console using that memory card.

I did confirm it lol thats what I meant with my above post, you basically will get banned, its only a matter of time, just depends how quickly you get caught, but trust me, in days time you would get banned.  There are people here who got banned within hours...and some within days. See what I mean? its just a matter of time..
