Team-Avalaunch.com; buy your modchip there. Normally the Xecuter3 is $50-60. I paid $48, 1-3 day shipping included. You'll be amazed at what a modded Xbox can do. I could've turned mine into a Linux Server, but I chose a gaming console instead.

Thanks for the tip!

Here's the cheapest 500GB hard drive on newegg. Should I buy this for the Xbox? It'll be for ripping all of my Xbox games onto this hard drive, and emulators/ROMs.

Looks very tidy! Nice work! I'd watch out though, Mod Chips are illegal, and could potentially get TBCS in trouble! I think Dave locked the last thread regarding Mod Chips.

[Mitternacht]

Modchips aren't illegal. The software that modifies Microsoft's programming is illegal. it's illegal for a site to host the files, but is not illegal to possess the files. It's illegal to sell a modded Xbox, but isn't illegal to own. So I'm safe. And yes, he locked the xbox mod chip topic Reyer made.

[ReignInPain]

Ah ok. Maybe the US laws are different to the UK. As I understand, in the UK the Chips themselves are illegal.

[ReignInPain]

Becasue Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo etc... All want monpoly's on their products, so they gain maximum profits from their products. Using Chips could lead to people using copied and pirated games. Or third party software. All of these meaning people arent buying the original companies products.

Its alllll about the money.

That's not how it works. When you buy a software product, you own a little disk. What you don't own is the programming on that disk. It's like when you buy a movie: you own the Tape or DVD. But you don't own the movie.

The software in the Xbox belongs to Microsoft, and they have the right to defend it. If you modify the software, or make a profit from their software, then it's a form of piracy and is illegal. You're right, the chip itself is not illegal, it's the software that is.

But without the software, it's not a modchip, it's a ****ty little lump of silicon with contacts. Remember this is a business website, the last thing we want is to piss of some software giant like Microsoft for allowing you to promote mod chips. It's unlikely to happen, but why should we risk it? So all talk of mod chips stops now.

You're welcome to debate the legality of mod chips, but no more links to where to purchase them, reviews of them, etc.
