if you have a flash console
there is always a chance of it getting banned
playing a backup increase that chance

if you have a game ripped to your HD
it will play from your HD
it does not play from the game or backup that you have in the drive
but that being said
that does not mean you want get banned, or even stand less of a chance of getting banned

the best setup right now is a
modded unbanned console and a stock console play all backups on the modded console that you 'NEVER" put on line and just
move the HD over to the stock when you want to get on line
and
that does mean you will have to get a "real' game to play on live
I make damn sure im going to play a game a lot on live before i buy one
the games are so short no days, its stupid to even conciser buying a game if you will not get 50+ hours of game play

250 gig xbox 360 hard drives can be found on dealextreme.com for around $56. This is cheaper and easier than trying to set one up yourself.

yea
that is the best way to do it
just replace you HD with a larger xbox HD
then you just have to move your stuff over
you can get a tranfer kit and move the stuff
ive never used one
im still using the first 20gb i got
been through 4 consoles
but
1 HD :D
