i would definitely say yes..ppl who get banned on live r ppl who dont have stealth patched games, or play games before their official release..u can get it modded for like 40 bucks and get games for 5 bucks a piece..my boy knows how to dl games, so i get em for free..i have a huge collection of games i play online all the time..either way, u are saving tons of money

You gotta hook me up with what you're talking about. I'm tired of paying $60 a game.

Ever since EGM did that "Would you pay?" poll back a few years ago, the price has slowly risen for games.

I think they were buffering the impending price increase, and not so much the thought of a potential price increase, cuz one of the poll questions was "Would you pay just $10 more for a new game?" VUALA!!!! And we got $60 games when the new systems dropped after that poll.

Thanks 4 the feedback y'all. Has any1 heard about any negative feedback about moddin' it? Such as the system crashin'/freezin'? If I mod it won't that mess with my warranty/insurance?

I know two people that sent there modded xbox in when it got the the red rings and nothing happened there box just got fixed and sent back. Im sure Xbox is not going through every xbox with the thousands they get everyday looking to see if its been modded.

my xbox is modded, and i got banned from xbox live...but i'd still say yes, get it modded...i've saved something like $2,500 on games because they're burned...i could have bought like 7 360's for that price. i'm about to buy a 2nd 360 to play on live...

Here's a good bidding site http://www.ioffer.com/search/items/IXTREME%201.51/text_pics/ioffer/0/false where you can buy a console already modded with iXtreme 1.51. u can get them pretty cheap. Its worth it, you can even have them do other mods where they replace the heatsink or give u a newer model that doesnt get as hot. It's worth it, i get burned copies for like $7. Easier on my cash flow during times like this too. On that site u can find a seller who sells the game too.

Right on 4 the feedback everybody, I appreciate it. Seems 2 me, based on the comments, there really isn't any reason why any1 shouldn't mod an Xbox other than possibly gettin' banned and/or the warranty possibly bein' void...I can live with that. Speakin' on bein' banned can't you just create a new account or is there a way 4 XBL 2 track that?

I don't think it's worth it...


For $5 a game, you can just go to Blockbuster and rent the fucking game legally. No risk of getting your console, account, and/or ip address banned permanently.

Or you could always do Gamefly. $20 a month for all the games you want.
