I read today that the newest 360 DVD drives have become quite ‘anti-mod’ from previous work some crafty people have been doing to the drive’s firmware. So I want one before they become near impossible to mod this way. Anyone know of any package deals or sales at a local store? I’m probably going to buy the upgraded package because I know I’ll end up wanting those accessories later and extra controllers. So far Walmart is looking good with the 20gb drive, wireless controller, Madden 2007 and a year of Live for $500 and some change.
Anyone seen anything better or work in a retail store where they can hook me up with a discount?
My friend might be selling his. He needs money and doesn’t play it that much. He has two controllers one wired and one wireless, a few games I’m not sure which ones, the dvd controller, I think that’s all he has.
I am not looking for a used one, sorry. Even though I plan on cracking it open immediately I want to start fresh.
Alternate firmware has been developed so that the DVD drive always reports that the disc is a legit game, even if it’s a copy. It’s not as simple as dragging and dropping files to a blank DVD, but the jist of it is that you can copy the game to a DL-DVD and the drive will play it as if it’s a pressed game. It’s still not up to par with the Xbox 1 mods, but it’s a start.
well globe also makes a chip that supposively allows unsigned fireware to boot… so essentially you can load a bios to boot whatever… but i’m not seeing too much out there on it…
hayabusa… let me know what your friend wants for the xbox
s10 - keep me posted on where you get with it… it’s discouraging to hear they are modifying the builds so that everyone has to start over… i bet that someone will figure something out though!
I haven’t heard of the globe thing yet. I know there were quite a few hoax mods that were hyped up but obviously never panned out to anything. Maybe that is the case? Either way I will begin my more in depth research soon. I had been keeping my reading to the minimal to keep my interest but not interest me enough to spend $300+ on a video game machine. Too late for that now.
Yes, it is discouraging but every system that has been modded has made new revisions to discourage the mod community… and every one has failed. It’s not a matter of IF. It’s a matter of WHEN. Took Xbox 1 about a year after launch for a solid mod to boot ANYTHING other than a legit disc. I think it was about 4 months for the 360… :kekegay:
i was actually lookin for an xbox360 too an found one in the toys r us mag an its 420 an u get like the system a game and 2 controllers and 12 months of xbox live for free
My buddy played it at one of his friends house and said its his new favorite game. One of the hightlights he mentioned was that you can get drunk, smoke a blunt, then go drive around in a haze. I was thinking of going to rent it today but chances are it’s already rented.
