Modded XBox's anyone?
This guy i go to school with recently devoted a lot of time into learning all about how Xboxs work and how to modify them the best way possible. He now can Modify any xbox (even the new versions!) so that you can burn all your games onto a hard drive. Not only xbox games but you can hook up your xbox to the computer and download tons of other games, as well as videos and other cool stuff. It enables your xbox to play burned DVDs and forms of video that most DVD player do not recognize. One of the coolest things is it doesnt require any soldering, no "mod chips." He normally does an install with a 250gb harddrive, stores over 100 xbox games plus all the other arcade games and that stuff.
I'm not really his salesman or anything but i want to get his services at lower prices, and I'm just trying to share this with you guys because i think what he's doing is pretty cool and if i can get enough of us to do it i think he can drop the prices. It'd be a pretty sweet thing to install in a Z if you're looking for a DVD player and games.
Anyway His prices are usually something like $150 for them modding + harddrive cost (depends which size hard drive you want) + xbox. So if you have a harddrive laying around and already have the xbox you just have to pay for the mod fee, or if you have just the harddrive, or just hte xbox you get the point. He's got tons of things available - he can provide xboxs at good prices or provide harddrives at good prices. So i was thinking some of you guys wanted to get in on this i could probably get him to lower the install fee to something closer to $100.
Pm me if you ahve questions.
I may actually post this for somewhere on the site as a group buy.

Well as far as from what i have read, the service being offered is in no way illegal because the guy that does this does not include any free games, just the hard drives. Just because you have the harddrive does not mean you have to use it illegally, some people may use it just for the ability to play burned DVDs, or backed up xbox games. Doing either of these is perfectly legal as long as you own the original. If he advertised things like "For an extra $30 you get 100 free games!" then that would be illegal, but he is just offering the service of the modification. Good heads up though.

If someone wants to increase storage on their xbox I think they should be allowed to. I mean...they should be checking for more than a different hard drive serial number. What if your hard drive breaks and you have to replace it?

That would be a crime! LOL
Did you do all that yourself or did you bring it somewhere?
How much was it?
