as per the thread i linked above; yes remod can help...but with chances that if mistakenly i connect with xbox live; my console will be permanently banned...
my console is being used by my kids (10 and 5); not only they switch profiles when they play games which may ends up mistakenly choosing the xbox live profile...they also use xbox live on and off...they love downloading demos of new games / small indie games and playing multi-player games on xbox live (we got few genuine one). Thats why I will rather wait for ixtreme lt+ 2.0 which is expected to come soon and will take care of this recent dashboard update
but for those who use their console exclusively or can control that its not go online by mistake etc...remodding is possible!
