My Xbox DIED!!!

Posted by Tabascork

My original xbox died. It does have a modchip in it. The only thing wrong with it is the Hdd, so you can pick up any pc hdd from a store and put it in with the OS installed on it (how to do that I don't know) and it'll work again like new. I miss my xbox...

Why don't you go get one of those FREE 360 Elites? Already have, right?!

It's worth a try, right? Anyone who doesn't try has absolutely 0% chance of getting one for free (with paid subscription to Gamefly, so not really free)

The only free thing in this world is AIDS.

Get it while it's hot.

Is someone complaining about free stuff? IT'S FREE!

Also, stop playing xbox. Go buy a 360. It's G[COLOR="White"]o[/COLOR]d's way of telling you to move on.

Yeah, and making the 360 not compatible with all Xbox games is Microsoft's way of ****ing you in your consumer *** ^_^

Haha, chipped Xbox. You should have gone with a softmod!

Bah! Softmods are for cheap scrawny uber-virginized lame-arses who just want to copy games and use a trainer so they can p/own Halo on Master Ninja mode.

Modchips are for those hardcore gang bangers who want to run Linux and XBMC while nailing a supermodel.

Or close to something like that.


Do a search for a place called "XBOX-scene" for answers, or the "usual places" for backup MS bioses (if you forgot to backup your own).

NOTE: I got a Maxtor 250 GB HDD in my chipped XBOX, and the things I can make it do are pretty.

EDIT: Crongrats on witnessing my "least professional" post ever made on this forum (that I remember).

I have the UXE softmod. I run XBMC as my dash and I've tried out Linux in the past. I don't play Halo. I've never had XBL. I had a threesome with a supermodel and Keira Knightley. What's your point?

Softmods are harder to fix once they're screwed up. They're also the favored method used by the kids who just want to copy games and use trainers/cheat mods (of course that's a gross over-generalization based on past encounters with the aforementioned that should not apply to anyone who softmodded their box for reasons other than playing illegally copied games and Halo on Master Ninja mode).

Fine, I confess- A softmodder screwed up my 'box once and now I truly, deeply despise them all.
Misplaced aggression, I suppose.
Posted by Klarth

I'm told that by using a Western Digital HDD in my softmodding adventure I've increased the risk of something not nice happening. However, it's been nearly two years and it still works fine.

I was also told that if the mod screwed up it'd be something up with the hard drive, so I'd be able to fix it easily what with the bios having not been touched...

Posted by phlynthe

You can flash the bios with a softmod and thusly have all the same functionality of a modchip. The only hardmods that matter are the ones like ram, processor, ide, etc.

Posted by Klarth

RAM mod seems fairly silly, considering there are only a handful of homebrew apps that can use the extra memory. I guess if you're meticulously picky about getting your CPS1/2 and MAME roms at full speed, then it's worth it, but...

My Hdd was 120 GB and yes modchips DO matter, unless you wanna get kicked off of Xbox Live for using the Mechassault softmod.

You can get kicked off for a mod chip too. Luckily newer chips have that "stealth F-drive" ability to hide your extra partition space from Microsoft.

I prefer the modchip method because it grants FTP access without the use of a dashboard.
