Playing Back-Up Games on your 360 Console -
Simple basic Q&A Section that have come up many times. Friends have asked me many questions so I decided I'd post the ones I remember here!
Q. How can I play 360 backups?

case and voiding the warrenty?
A. See images below...
Q. Can I play backups on XBOX Live?
A. Yes, u can play them online but u do risk having your console
banned permanently. The safest way to play online is by using the
ABGX360 GUI correctly, which can be found here.

your PC and checking with your favorite flashing tool.
