i am located in Portsmouth...any idea where i can get goooooood xobox modded?

Bassline · **Posted:** Sun Aug 15, 2004 8:46 am **Post subject:**

well i got mine from this lot
http://www.chipit.co.uk/

not sure if they are more pricey than others but i can vouch for there good service, the best thing to do is e-mail them and let them know what you want so they can give you an up-to-date price

i chose my own set up and they put it together and chipped it (also gave me a free game

) don't forget to get some network cat5 cable for all those FTP transfers from your PC to the Xbox :beerchug:

certainly looks like a good isea, bit bulky for under my tv but my mate has got a modded xbox and it is shit hot i must say, as long as you dont want xbox live which i hear dont work on modded ones, mabye they got round that by now also. Certainly given me food for thought, might be worth waiting till nearer christmas for the usuall price drops???

for xbox live i think u need to have the original game and then you must switch off the mod-chip otherwise xbox live will ban your xbox for life :wacky:

Yep, that's exactly right, however if you want to play online and want to pirate games, take a look at xbconnect

what happened to all the old problems about some of the xbox dvd drives not playing certain disks? i looked into this whole xbox chipping stuff awhile ago and it all seemed too hit or miss, hope this situation has been resolved somehow

There's a philips drive or something that was shit, you just buy an xbox with a samsung drive

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Sun Aug 15, 2004 5:26 pm **Post subject:**

It's only CD-R disks that the philips drive has problems with, DVD-r's work on all the drives

and who uses shitty cds nowadays? :lol:

Those of you buying Xbox's may want to wait a week as the price is about to drop to ?99.99

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Thu Aug 19, 2004 2:34 pm **Post subject:**

that's still too much imo. Sony and M$ have been urged to cut their prices, to boost sales this next quarter.

Let's hope they listen

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Thu Aug 19, 2004 2:56 pm **Post subject:**

Sony are dropping the PS2 to ?104.99 at the same time.

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Thu Aug 19, 2004 3:03 pm **Post subject:**

?5 more for a way shittier console

That's pathetic of sony... especially considering since they've been in production the longest, they will also have the cheapest production materials and facility.

PC_Arcade · **Posted:** Thu Aug 19, 2004 3:16 pm **Post subject:**

Yep, I gotta admit that one is a strange decision by Sony!

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Thu Aug 19, 2004 3:29 pm **Post subject:**

its not strange at all, in their view they have market domination and don't have to bend to the competitive whim as much as m$ and N. They are just exploiting their market dominance and shafting the end users, plain as day.

I hope they get screwed over on the PS3, but you know all those moronic automatons are going to go for it, hook, line and sinker!

stear clear of that one IMO

.....i had the model before that (dvx6100) and from what i learn't and experienced mine had less troubles playing files than what the new model does....also Umax/Yamada are really slow on handing out firmware updates and when they do they are not much better than previous firmwares :wacky:

check out the forum there for more info's
