Ok, I got my Xbox back yesterday. They didn’t give me mine, they gave me someone else’s that they had fixed. I don’t think it was new because there were some spots of dirt where the HD is placed. Anyway, I wasn’t home when the Xbox was supposed to be delivered to so I went to UPS to pick it up. The guy who grabbed the box for me looked at the FROM address and said…“Xbox right?” I said “yeah?” Mind you it says nothing about Microsoft or Xbox. It just says Repair Center and an address. The guy the says: “Yeah we get a ton of these in here.” Me: “Really? That’s not a good sign, especially since you know what it is just by the address.” Guy: “Yeah we get a bunch of these going in and out every week. This week has actually been pretty slow, but we usually see a lot of them.” Me: “That’s encouraging.” Guy: “Ok you are all set” Me: “Thanks, I’ll probably be seeing you again real soon.” Guy: “hahaha” ---

Oh yeah and it appears that my new Xbox has the Hitachi drive, but I am scared to mod it now with the high potential of needing warranty work again. ---

I have the usb for the hitachi if u want to use it. The only way you can void the warranty is by hacking up the sticker that ms puts on there, a hair dryer and some patience u can remove it without breaking the security foil. But from what ive heard, MS doesnt even look at the boxes being sent back, they just ship out another one. ---

I was looking for a foil sticker on the one they sent me and I didn’t see one. I’ll check again. What exactly happens when you mod the Xbox? Can MS tell what was done if I had to send it to them? Obviously they could tell if it worked, but it was broken (the only time I would need to send it back) I wonder if they would even know. ---
