    i see... thanks for the heads up. might just cancel gamefly and save myself the 21 a month if it pans out... =)

    i hear backing up a wii game is somewhat of a pain in the arse...

    havent done any wii games yet. dont have a reason to buy one, however, i might be getting some games for a friend here in a little bit once he gets his chip put into the wii since i guess there isnt any FW flashing for it yet.

    I only have 1 HDD. I have a modded 360 and a normal 360 for xbl. Just wondering, if i play on the modded 360, offline and such. Then put the HDD over to my stock 360 and play some halo3 online or whichever game, is it possible that my stock 360 could get banned?
    The info on the HDD and such?

    way to hijack another persons thread to get your own question answered. but to answer your question, no

    actually, you clutter up the board by NOT creating new threads fyi. Somebody may have had the same question that you had... in fact others have, and i have read them. Either you did not take the time to find those replies, or they were buried just like yours is now.

    If it is the latter, the answer to your question has served to only benefit you, and noone else. This is why posting in un-related topics clutters and is frowned on.

    Ok so like right now the only game i play online is Halo3 which I own. But Rock Band 2 is getting closer to being modified for customs, so that is what i want to get into in the near future. So when I flash my drive, even if im not playing online with the game I know im still at risk of being banned. But is the risk high? Because really I would like to continue getting the DLC for playing online with that game I could care less but the DLC is what I really want. So would I be able to play my Halo3 and get my DLC even though I have my drive flashed?

    Wii games are actually really easy to backup. All you need is a special reading drive like the kreon, except for the wii. But with the drive, you don't even need to flash the firmware, you just leave the stock one on it. THen it's just using a program to dump it, and then imgburn to burn it. It's just as easy, if not easier than 360 games.

    Now only certain games you have to take additional steps, smash bros. or so/ But besides that, it is a really simple process too.

    Man, i lived on the wii forums for days and saw no thread about this...

    Thanks for the 411... as soon as i read your post i jumped on ebay, found the drive, and bought it for $40. =)

    I'm quite happy now... i feared backing up wii games would be a pain in the arse with a sd card swap!
