Xbox Mods
My son is getting an XBox for Christmas and wants it moded so that he can play backed up games and load games from the hard drive. I don't squat about this stuff so I'm turning to OOT for advice. Can any of the gamers out there recommend a good Mod Chip for the XBox?
I've been looking at this one, but I want to know if there is something better out there. Thank you for helping an old fart make is 14 year old son think he's cool! Mars

Re: Xbox Mods
there are plenty of legitimate reasons for a mod chip. do you have some inside info as to his intent?

Imagine if the kid had asked for a DVD burner instead. Wait, Wal*Mart sells those; those devices must not enable "blatant" theft, only the surreptitious kind.

Re: Xbox Mods
please.
tell me, what do you think the odds are that this kid knows about modchips/"backed up games" and doesn't want this for piracy?

Re: Xbox Mods
I use my modded Xbox for watching downloaded TV shows/movies (piracy, yes, but not Xbox piracy) on my HDTV far more often than I use it for playing games.
That said, astro's probably right about the kid's intentions. The kid will probably end up trying to play a downloaded game on Live and get himself banned though.

Re: Xbox Mods
The xecuter series of chips are probably the most popular. However, a lot of those chips are a bit pricey and the features are totally unneeded.
I have a Duox2. It's a cheaper chip but works well. It's a dual-bank chip so you can flash the bios and don't risk destorying it if something goes wrong. Installation was pretty easy, but requires soldering. Lots of information at www.xbox-scene.com if you havn't found that site already.
