| loves2splooge said: It's such a hassle as it is to mod the 360. Open up the console, which voids the warranty, get the system flashed and hoping you don't screw it up (easier if you hire someone reliable to do it but even then I wouldn't trust someone doing that to a valuable console like that). Then you either gotta scan and possibly modify the pirate copies so that you minimize your chance of getting caught on xbl or get off xbl completely (resulting in an inferior game experience. no patches, no DLC, no FREE DLC and no online play.) Oh and if you have RRoD or some other error for warranty repairs? You better hope MS doesn't notice that the sticker was tampered with! Too much risk for the reward IMO. |
LMAO, your living in the old ages...
Flashing a 360 takes me no more than 15 minutes (this includes opening it up), you don't get banned from xbox live, noone has been banned since the gears 2 issue last year when a lot of people played the game weeks before the official release date resulting in those people getting banned,
I have two flashed 360's here and so do all my friends and family (about 15 in total), none have ever been banned from xbox live since 2006, as long as you check your games (backups of games you own of course!) before playing and never play games (that you own!) before they are out in shops you are 100% safe, I have been flashing 360's for almost two years now, no issues at all,
And also, regarding RROD on a flashed 360, I have had 7 sent in for repair (customers consoles I have sent in), all of which were flashed, 3 had no warranty stickers on and 4 did, they all was repaired totally free of charge just like any other 360, this has been the case since day one as MS don't even check.
And your also wrong saying 360 flashing hasn't taken off lol, it is a HUGE scene and I mean huge...
P.S, console chipping/flashing is totally LEGAL in the UK (where I'm from) and the E.U, there are no laws against it, games piracy is illegal and I do not condone this and will never discuss that here.
