im a newbie. ive read tons of posts of people asking the same questions and people answering "search the forums" (which by the way is an ignorant answer. how about you just not reply at all or simply provide a link to them because obviously they didnt find anything on their question)...so i want to get this straight... xbox games backed up onto a dvd+r will not play in an xbox without a modchip. BUT you can take a game and copy it to your hard drive and play it from that?
