    Have my xbox flashed and want to update it onto the new kinect update,however this is a console that i use purely for the basis of playing my backups so i don't care if i get banned from live etc etc (ill be updating offline) since i have a non-modded console anyway so i was just wondering,if i installed the new update would this cause me not to be able to play back-ups offline?

    cheers.

    fire away the update. in the worst case scenario the console will be flagged for ban which as you explained is not your concern.

    it will never be connected to live or be sharing hard-drives with a live one,so its basically an isolated console straight into the t.v for single player play so i was just wondering if it would still be able to read my back-ups with the new update :)

    dont update it if you dont use it for live and dont intend on getting kinect any time soon

    updating will mean you cant play backups of newer games which have the ap2.5 protection on them

    be patient and wait a few weeks for LT+ firmware

    but the ap2.5 is included only in new games, updating dash has nothing to do with this. old games will work anyway.
    the dvd fw will have to be updated only to play new titles.

    ap2.5 doesnt kick in on the old dash, so games like fable 3 which include it will work

    these games WONT work once you update to the new dash

    why stop yourself being able to play games by updating instead of waiting a few weeks and being able to play everything.

    The mentioning of playing backups is happening a little too often in this thread, it's not a permissable subject incase anyone's forgotten.
