Risky business: play Xbox Live between two consoles with only one disc

Some guys from DigiEx found a very unorthodox use for NXE’s ability to play games from the HDD. They found that you can play Xbox Live over two consoles with just one disc. It’s a pretty risky procedure, but if you’re cheap enough to risk bricking your Xbox 360 just so you won’t buy the game for yourself, then go to the full article for details.

They found that you can play Xbox Live over two consoles with just one disc. It’s a pretty risky procedure, but if you’re so cheap that you’d risk bricking your console instead of buying another game (paradoxical as that is), then go for it.

Remember now, this procedure is risky for both the console and the disc. You have no one to blame but yourself if things go awry.

What you need to do is install the game in the first console, launch the game and wait for the DVD drive to spin down. Once it does, use a paper clip to emergency eject the DVD tray. If (yes, it’s an if; this procedure doesn’t work for everyone) your console doesn’t detect that the disc was ejected, take the disc out and use it on the other console.

You can probably tell it’s not worth the risk by these barebone instructions alone. If your cheapskate blood runs deep though, I advise you go to the source link and read the fully fleshed out instructions there.
