Hi,

Before I saw this term flotaing around this site, I never knew there was such a thing. Can someone give me the low down, plz? What does a modded xbox do that a normal one can't? How do you mod one? Is it legal (somehow I think I know the answer to that one already)?

Any input appreciated. Thanks.

Right. As funny as that site is, it doesn't really help me.

Anyone?

One of the biggest advantages is that you can put a bigger hdd in it and back up all the games you buy from E-Mart onto it.
Modding the XBOX is legal, it just violates Microsoft's user agreement...

Do a search here for threads in the tech forum about the happy things you can find in Yongsan.

Anyways I always forget that google is my friend, too.

That X-Falcon reminds me of William Gibson's concept of the "Sandcaster" computers.

Basically they open up your machine and put a special chip in it which will override the limitations. Video game consoles are programmed to play games from only one geographical region, as well as DVDs from only one region, not to mention safeguards that will make the player refuse to play pirated games. The "mod" chip overrides these protections and lets you play just about anything on it, pirated or not.

Keep in mind that when you open the machine up, your warantee becomes void.

Thanks,

So could I play online pc games (mmrpg) with one of these?

Never try to get on XBOX Live with your mod chip enabled! Anyways, these questions can be answered better and quicker on the XBOX Scene FAQ and forum pages...
