It means you're not selling a modding service and thus not a "guy like this".

I used to charge for the mod, but never sold games. I only changed to doing it for friends because I'm too afraid of someone saying I broke their 360.

What he did was illegal, but unless he's modding the XBox to use in a nuclear missile, this case doesn't require Homeland Security.

So by the same logic, Tobacco Water Pipes should be illegal because you can put weed in them.  Swisher Sweets also should be illegal.

Why not just outlaw CD Burners?  The only reason you would ever burn a CD is to pirate software, right?  Everything else is just an excuse!

SavannahLion:
Sadly, PBJ and Artful are both missing the point. It's not about roms or illegal copies. It's about buying a product (the 360) and having the choice to do what you damn well please with it. If I want to shell out $300+ and turn my 360 into a functioning toilet, a welder, and a ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- simulator that just happens to play games, then so be it.

Everyone here saw MS's position on their Kinect and how they backpedaled. Look at how Sony ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- things up with their PS3 and the beowulf clusters.

There are perfectly legitimate reasons for modding consoles. If a bunch of greedy fat cats and their overly eager lackey want to sit there and tell me that I can't mod my console but its perfectly acceptable for them to do it. Well, all I have to say is let the world wide grand "---fudgesicle--- you" commence.

Wrong answer.  My XBOX has never seen a game since I've owned it.  Period.  Legal or otherwise.  I modded it to use with XBMC as a cheap media player.

Bingo !!
My modded XBOX is used to stream movies and music from our pc's to the tv...sometimes surf Youtube for kicks....I don't even play games on it and it has "all the bells and whistles".
I have two more I plan to do for the exact same reason in two other rooms.

Now anything XBOX360 related, I could care less. (since I don't play the games anyways)
