Updating by way of usb drive is not modding. You just have to get it from another xbox that has the update. Completely legit. This question gets posted every 3 or 4 days. If the moderators would leave the posts up then people could just do the research and not have to start a new thread.

The ones that get removed only get removed when they start discussing means to obtain the download through online websites other then Microsoft, or ways to download for an xbox that has been modded. Discussions like that are not allowed and will be removed. As long as this topic stays clean, it wont be removed.

There are several threads on this issue still findable with a search, so it's not about the ones that have been removed. The issue is twofold - people just don't bother to really search before they post (i.e. use an advanced search) and the basic search usually returns too many irrelevant threads and people don't like reading through them.
I believe that updating to a USB from Microsoft's website does still require some sort of account with Microsoft. I also believe that 4J did include an offer inside the disk packaging to encourage people who bought the disks to get said Live account (free for a period of time) so that they could update the disk from TU9 to whatever was current. Still, there will always be people who expect that, when they buy disks, they should be current regardless of when the disk was first released... but that's not the case with pretty much any software sold on disk today.

All good. I understand. The way I became aware of this is from buying my son his own Xbox 360. An older Xbox 360 that didn't have Wi-fi. Bought it from a friend and did not know that older 360's did not have Wi-fi. Before I got him the Wi-fi adapter, I had used a (Microsoft official xbox360)* usb jump drive to update Minecraft for him on his system, so that he could play from disk in TU-14. I had to "move" it to the usb from my 360, not copy. Then "move" it from the usb onto his 360. Then when I turn my Minecraft on again, on my slim360 with built in Wi-fi, it automatically updates.
*this is somewhat important as other brands of jump drives have failed to work for me on my 360. Losing data is horrible.
You need a Xbox live account. But it only needs to be the free silver account, no need to pay for the gold account. If the Xbox doesn't have wifi, just plug in a network cable for the update.
All I'll say is that Google is your friend in this matter.
