first you cant talk about games you have a backup but dont have the orig.

that being said
if you have a modded 360 and play a orig game you could be banned but that would be the safest way to play on live.i play backups on live a lot and origs

its up to you.if getting on live and not ever being banned then do the deal(no backups).i would keep the modded 360 and just play orig on live then play my backups off line.
in the end its up to you.

aggain sorry for asking so many questions but i avent had my 360 long and would like to get all this sorted so i can play online

No you can't use USB but you have a couple options...

1) Buy a router which will split your 1 broadband connection into 4 or more connections. If you're not interested in wireless and only want a basic wired only router it should be pretty cheap.

2) Buy a 2nd ethernet card for your computer and install it. Leave your internet hooked up as it is now and wire the 360 to the new ethernet card. Enable Internet Sharing in XP and you're done.
