No most definitely not. They have 'solderless pogo pin' style mod chips (

First you need to have a network connection between your xbox and pc. Xbox allows for DHCP, so you simply hook it up to your router. Then, load up a game onto your xbox, have it waiting at the ( searching for network game screen). Then load up the tunneling software (xlink, xboxconnect, i beleive they've hacked gamespy to allow xbox games now too? cant confirm tho), type in your xbox's IP address and then just find the game you want to play, and its that simple.

Well, i guess this is sort of subjective, you definitely dont need a dvd burner. I dont have one. If someone 'was' to download xbox games off the net for trial or backup purposes, then they definitely dont need to burn the game. You could download it, unrar, de-iso, etc.. Until you've got the game fully extracted, (you need the default.xbe file), then just FTP into your xbox, and upload the game into the directory specified for games. Honestly, its that simple. Thats what having a big HD is for. I have tons of divx/xvid movies and about 40 or so games stored on my hd. Its so much faster in both load time, and having to switch discs. No need to worry about scratching discs, i have all my movies and games stored safely away, (some still sealed).
