I bought a korean xbox awhile ago and i think its about time i get it modded. tired of some games not having english language setting or korean version locking up(fifa 10). does anyone know of the cost of getting one modded, where to go, and etc. i dont play live either so thats not a big issue. thanks for anyhelp.

I'm also interested in this information. I know you have to go to a place like Yongsan, in the are with all the games to get someone to mod it.

I have no idea how much it costs. Also, I don't know what the options are for modding. Maybe someone can shed some light on it.

I had a Korean console in the past modded and now with an extra U.S. one I'm looking at getting that modded too. The thing is (and someone can correct me if things have changed) but the "mod" so to speak is simply firmware that allows you to trick the system into believing its playing a legit disk. It does NOT get around the region coding/locking issue (again perhaps his has changed but I believe it still holds true) So while you could play download and burn a copy on a dual layered disk (a bit more expensive but still way cheaper than paying 50 bucks for a game) you still must ensure the version you download is appropriate for your system. So if you're hoping for NHL 10 to work for your Korean xbox, modded or not, it just ain't gonna happen unfortunately. Again if someone has some concrete info. on if this has changed (I had a modded one just over a year ago) that would be great to know.

i just got my firmware updated yesterday in yongsan and got hold of bayonetta..very nice. i didnt know there were options for firmware i guess they can tell you...if u ask

do u know yongsan well? forget the new ipark mall area..go to old yongsan electronics market...either ask around in the underground gaming section near the car park area or cross the road (opposite side to kb bank i think) u will see some stairs going down next to a blank cd/dvd shop and ask around in the underground area that sells pc games/peripherals and consoles stuff too...if i remember rightly its 40k to mod..20k firmware updates. im no expert but i think the mod actually is a firmware update so the one u get now will run up to all latest games.

they have huge lists in easy to browse catalogues of nearly all games and can sort most versions out for u...10k a game...ive seen guys advertising cheaper on here7 or 8k but in yongsan u get peice of mind...pay cash in hand face to face try the game out on their system so u knwo it works. i use torrents mostly but there have been odd games i went their to get.
