Okay, I'm going to assume, perhaps foolishly, that this is not a joke topic.
People who are whining about "downloading" games and being banned for modding aren't downloading them from XBL. They are downloading illegal pirated copies of the game, burning them to disc and then playing them on their Xbox. This is spectacularly retarded because MS has software that can automatically detect this over XBL while they are doing it. The result is the swift deployment of the banhammer, and the person pirating games doesn't get to play on XBL any more. Those of us who actually pay for our games then applaud quietly in the background.
If you are worried about downloading games from XBL itself (like XBLA games and Xbox Originals) and being banned, don't. That doesn't happen. You are downloading games form a legal source. MS wants you to do this. It is, after all, how they make their money. Note that Banjo isn't one such game, you will have to buy that on disc.
Now, if you are asking whether you can illegally download a pirated copy of Banjo, burn it to a disc, then play it on your Xbox knowing you will get banned, but continue to play it after your ban, then the answer is yes. The upside is that you will not have to pay for Banjo. The downside is that your Xbox will be banned from XBL forever and you will have to buy a whole new console next time you want to play online. Not really a good trade, is it?
