Need a Xbox360 guru

[BigEvil]

Well, im about ready to FINALLY retire my old Xbox. It's modded with the X chip and a 350 gig hd.

Time to step up to the 360. Can anyone (Via PM or Email) point me in the right direction of or assist me with doing a similar mod to a 360? My cousin took care of the old one, but he has since gone off and gotten marries and his life is pretty much over.

Hey Scott

I asked some friends of mine about this. They said that with the 360s that if you connect to Xbox Live the Xbox will communicate with Microsoft and if it detects any mods to it you may be banned from Xbox Live permanently (they said it may be if you are playying a backedup game from your hard-drive or a burned disk-their still debating this actually).

They also said that there may be ways around this, but I don't know, plus it sounds like you can only experience problems with Microsoft if using Xbox live. I know I read that Microsoft was very unhappy about people modding the original Xbox's.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.....

Well that was the case with the first one as well. Unless they made newer chips that got around that.
So shouldn't be anything new there.

And I didn't know you could mod 360, that's cool. But the only thing you could do I guess would be a bigger HD. It's got the multimedia stuff already.

don't even try it with a 360, in each firmware update they usually knock out the latest mods,and a 360 without live just isn't fun

plus its fun as it is

Not to thread jack, but I don't want to make a new thread for the same topic...


Which 360 is the best bang for your buck? I basically just want it to play Halo3 online so I was thinking of getting the 360 with the 20gig HD...any suggestions..



oh and wanna talk about rape, dont try and trade your xbox into a game store..all they will give you is 20 bucks...craziness

The only mod right now is a DVD firmware mod.

What kind of mod?


Ive NEVER even used Xbox live.. so thats not an issue for me. I just want to be able to keep renting games from Gamefly and be able to rip them onto a 360.

If you dont connect to live you SHOULD be fine. If you connect to live for any reason you account will be banned as well as your 360. This cannot be reversed.

Also if your 360 dies you will be SOL with most mods

Yeah.. well I guess that goes with the territory. My cousin killed my motherboard doing the mod to the old one. As long as I can get replacement parts, then its worth it.

Big why are you wanted to mod your 360? Are you wanting use it as a media center or just to play copied games?

If it's for media center style use just keep your old xbox.

Copy games. THere are better choices for media centers.. so I ve been told.

Yeah the 360 is a sad excuse for a media center. I would head over to http://www.xbox-scene.com and read all about how you flash your dvd drives firmware. Unfortunitlly that is all there really is for 360 mods right now. Some mod teams have put out case mods that will make it easier to flash your drive. However your not going to find anything like all the diffrent software that is out for a Xbox.
