As recently reported, Microsoft has not put any special code into the update to foul firmware hacked drives. Samsung, and Hitachi drives have been on live succesfully with no problems.
This doesn't mean Microsoft isn't keeping tabs on whats in your drive. But as of now they have not done anything to prevent the use of backed up games. They play fine, there still is the newest xtreme firmware out there for Samsungs, and there will be one coming to the Hitachi in the near future.
