    Default Modchips for xbox?

    I guess nobody has not noticed that there are chips out for xbox now. What do you think of it?

    The only reason i could think of getting one is that i could play games i would never get to play if i hadnt got the chip.. we dont get all the games here =(

    There is a guy in Montreal who does it for 250.00 canadian chip and installation included. He also guarantees the chip for the life of your Xbox (defective, obscelete, etc...)

    My friend got it done, but he does not have any copied games yet. He has a ton of ISO images, but a lack of a DVD burner.

    Before you go modding your Xbox you might want to consider whether or not it will effect your ability to go on Xbox Live (assuming your planning to). As of yet, I haven't heard a definitive answer one way or another, and I don't think we will until Xbox Live goes live and they can test these modded Xbox's. I wouldn't put it past MS to have developed some type of method to determine whether or not a box has been modded. I for one would not want to have to buy another box just to go on Xbox Live.

    you can make a switch to boot from the "hacked bios" or the origional bios. It isn't very hard, and that would gaurentee that you could play on xbox live!

    But will the people who have modships, still buy the good excluisive games. Because if they dont then the Xbox games will fail.

    yea, microsoft will do something about that. i heard that they will check for a modchip, and they will like flash the bios or something. theres a thing about it on the forums at www.xboxhacker.net

    well i know i will still buy the good games. I will only download the games i would never buy. If everybody does that, it wont hurt the sales.

    First of all this is bull****, Microsoft sells you the machine and at that point your aloud to do as you wish with it... you can smash it with a hammer and they wont penelize you, your warranty however will be broken when you open the box up.... they cannot flash your Bios as sombody posted, unless they want to pay you for a new Xbox because of deformation of property. now if they notice your playing a copied game somehow... thats a different story, but sorry to say for microsoft... in the end the hackers always get around everything, thats just the way it goes...

    also...
    this has been discussed so many times with the people who are actually coding and cracking Xbox security and Bios software... if any of you guys are on Irc you could go to some of the rooms where these doods hang out and get the real skinny instead off of boards with kids who Lie about $hit all the time.... like for instance the kid claiming he's only waiting on his freind to get a DVD burner... almost every xbox game fits onto a regular Cd disc... beleive it or not, a couple don't but alot do.

    My Xbox is modded, my next door neighbor does it at his work with some kinda e Prong burner or i dunno what the hell he said, but he did it for me for 50 bux, he then showed me what he did at his house before slosing the box up, it was clean and exactly how i heard it was supposed to be done... since then ive been playing every game i can get my burner on.

    Surfs up on Free games, nothing to be afraid of

    thats cool. but, its good to use a dvd burner. since you know that every game will fit (the reason most games do fit on a cdr, is because theyre ripped, meaning they took the music out, and some of the movies too). and if you use a dvd burner, you know you can fit any game that will come out (its not like every game is gonna be 700mb or 1 gig, a lot of games coming out will be really big)

    not if youre just making back-ups of your games. and how will they find out if youre pirating software? they cant, unless they come to your house and see it. and even if they did find out, wouldnt you be smart enough to hide or destroy the pirated stuff?

    You guys worry about too many little things , MS has better things to worry about then some kid pirating software. They go for the big fish not the bait
