Advice

Hi all
nice to find a forum for all the questions i have about mod chips and consols. well im gonna try to get an xbox or playstation 2 for christmas but dont know witch one to go with. i think both are nice consols and i wanna go with the one that will be the easiest to play backedup games on. so before picking one and finding out it is going to be hella hard gettin them to work id like some advice on witch one to go with not only for that but graphics and overall play.

some of my questions i have.

i hear you get banned if you try to play on the internet with a mod chip on. do you get banned from all online games or just that server/game u tried it on?

if i go with an xbox witch im leaning towards i heard on isonews.c o m that M$ is making the new models their shipping out to other countries that they cant be modded? they encrypted something i dont know much but if i buy an xbox in the next month will i be buying one of these systems that will have no use to me?

another question i have is is there a way to make a backup of my xbox games on my home computer instead of useing the ones the groups release for download?

and the big one is can you use cdrs to make a backup. i read on a modchip site you can use cdrs and cdrws but dvdrs were recomended why is that? and if you cant use cdrs can u use cdrws? or just dvdrs?

last question. if i get an xbox what chip should i go witch works the best. doesnt matter how hard it is to get in caz my dad is very good with the saudering gun and that kind of stuff. thanks all
