[QUOTE="Blue-K, post: 4023035, member: 129001"] First: No way around updating the firmware/modding the console, other than going legit, especially for the newer games. Microsoft is stepping up the game against piracy, now they don't only want to ban you, they also want that your burned copies don't work anymore. New games have a different format, called XGD3, which makes them bigger (8.13 GB instead of 7.29 GB), resulting that normal burners can't burn all data. Some games (namely Forza 4, afaik) check if all data is present (called a CIV-Check) and throw an error at you if this isn't the case. Not to mention that you'll be probably banned with such incomplete backups. So yes, I'll recommend the special burner. Also, Microsoft introduced AP2.5, random checks that they can update at random times, which also make the game unplayable. LT 3.0 is supposed to finally fix this problem once and for all, and should arrive soon. So, Summary: LT 3.0 is coming soon, I would wait with flashing until it's released. In the meantime, have a look at an XKey, since it's easier to update, has faster updates (at least until now) and you don't need to burn the games. If you are already banned or don't care about XBL, I recommend to JTAG/Glitch your Box, cheap price, great features, fast fixes. In the end, it's your choice. My personal opinion: You want to keep XBL: Go legit. You don't care about XBL: Glitch/JTAG. [/QUOTE]

I've heard chewing expired gum, makes you grow a tail, just saying. You may need to buy new pants with a hole in the rear.
