Thinking of Getting mine modded on saturday not bothered about online play
all that the mod guy does is update the dvd drive firmware then its done ;D
has anyone had it done yet ? let me know ive seen it done and working so know its safe and doesnt damage the xbox.

Thats only part of what youhave to do. Every game you copy has to be modified as well with teh appropriete security codes burned into a specific sector or something like that. Not too hard, but an added step. Not that I've done it, just what I've read
-
have they changed it so that normal DVD-Rs can be used yet? Or is it still only compatible with dual layer discs?
-
Only compatable with dual layer disks but at a fiver for a game better than fifty quid a game. :cheers:
-
Five for the blank disc, five for the game rental, significant value lost by not working with LIVE, fiver down the drain every time you get a messed up burn or an improperly modified game.
I don't know. It seems pretty expensive for what you're getting.
-
i wont rent or copy the games myself just buy them properly working for a fiver from the person doing the mod (if i decide to get it modded)
as for live you can pick up a second hand 360 core package quite cheap now so i could always buy another just to play orig games live if i ever get round to signing up that is :dizzy:
-
arent we rich. i could see it as okay if you were copying the games but having someone else do it and paying them is just wrong.
-
Im not saying im rich but for the price of 4 orig games you could buy a second hand 360 and the 4 games you were going to buy on dvd-r
i dont want to get into a debate weather back ups are right or wrong just wanted to know weather anyone else had had there 360 firmware updated thats all. as im thinking of getting it done myself.
didnt want to offend or get anyone mad but i think people must be mad to pay a sum of money for a game when they could get it from a guy who copys games for 10 times cheaper. (and we all know someone who copys films/games/music)
if you dont agree with copy stuff thats fine but if you play copy games thats also fine
thats just my opinion anyway
Regards
