Well, after reading various forum posts on getting a mod chip for the XBOX so it can read backed up versions of my XBOX games, I saw various opinions on which to get. Can someone tell me what some of the better ones available are, and where I may find XBOX's that are pre-modded? (this is for my son and I want to make sure to get it right for his B-Day) I noticed there are a lot of seemingly scam based websites offering modded xbox's, and don't really want to invest in something only to get ripped off. Also, providing I buy a pre-modded console, do I need to upgrade the drive, buy extra components or anything else for that matter for the xbox to read back-ups of xbox games or connect to the pc? I wasn't sure of the benefit of this but it seemed that the posts indicated that the backup process, obviously, is done via pc, and I saw flashing??? had something to do with this as well. I appreciate any help. Xbox modding etcetera is like reading Greek to me as my son plays it A LOT while I am more versed in PC's. (I guess as my son puts it, "You think you can beat ME in XBOX?" Now, show me a mouse and keyboard for Xbox games and I can show him! lol Since he's so into the XBOX is the reason I thought this would be an ideal gift. Any information would be appreciated. You guys have really helped me before with regards to DVD backups and the like. Oops, almost forgot... would a mod chip interfere with xbox live... not a big deal if soas he has the other Xbox. Thanks
Well since I've been there let's see if I can help you. If you can solder or knows someone thats a "good" solderer then go with the Xecuter3 chip for your X-box if its new and from your post it seems like it is. If you don't like to solder then for a few dollars more you can get the Xenium Spice chip thats solderless. If you've worked on pc's then the x-box is a snap as far as taking it apart. You can buy a modded drive from www.modchipman.com and I highly recomend them-Excellent service. If you buy a pre-modded box you get a larger drive but you pay a "premium" price. I'd say buy a regular X-box and have it done yourself and you can always buy a larger drive. I recommend a 120GB or larger for his games. You'll need a ftp program, I use wsftp pro and a router or crossover cable(go with the router) and thats pretty much it. Check out these sites-http://www.teamxecuter.com/ http://www.teamxodus.com/-This should get you going!-Good Luck
actually, this is for an Xbox that I haven't bought him yet. I wanted to get an additional one for him so I can network the two for his friends to play on... yeah, I know... more money for system links whatever! lol... I'll check the links provided... I really wanted a pre-modded as my office's schedule is rather tight and my G.M. is on vacation now so I have to be physically IN the office..bah! any other info for this ancient relic of a man is appreciated.
Then these sites would be your best bet for a pre-mod. 1.http://www.modchipman.com/ 2.http://www.modchip.ca/store/home.php?cat=267 Good Luck!
