Hi guys,

this may sound a bit silly, but i want to know if your xbox 360 is modded or unmodded.

although i can't reveal my reasons for having this poll, all i can say that its very important to me, and possibly to you guys as well if you want to see the 360 officially in Malaysia.

I hope everyone answers honestly (since its going to an anoymous polling anyway) ya?

If yours is modded, feel free to give your opinion here. No worries there will be no banhammer here.

I have never avoid ori vs piracy talk before, unless it gets too hawt because at the end of the day, i believe forcing something down peoples throat or being ignorant won't change people's mindset. Goto make them believe in it...

...& i believe in Microsoft Hardware + Software + Services gona change that. tongue.gif I myself also come from modded to non-modded now. As alot of other user. icon_rolleyes.gif

haha, hardware not that hardware la. I mean the processing power/gfx.

software as in the games.

service..ya xbox live. Competitor offer free gaming but it's not unified. Just like there are tons of free MMORPG out there but that doesn't stop World of Warcraft being the quality one.

icon_rolleyes.gif

Edited : when they gona ban? Well my guess is until they are comfortable with the Xblive subscriber 'coz they trying to prove to the market, the publisher, the game developer that alot of people play xb360.
Of course the above are just my guess why Microsoft till now didn't ban any account. Heck, even my US JP account are still working fine. No content restriction...yet.

Sorry to burst your bubbles but this poll is not gonna be accurate - the sample population (LYN forum members) will most likely be pro-originals...

For a more accurate survey, Blake should stand in front of the Sungai Wang game shops (and risk kena belasah by the shopkeepers whistling.gif ) and ask the ppl going in and out!

Tell me how many people bought fake 360s, give me an exact number please.

Cmon honestly who buys fake 360s?

I haven't seen anyone buy the console from Sungei Wang despite me acting like a new customer asking how sales are going, they each say "Not good lah boss, too new in the market" or "People think to expensive one..they dont buy one"

But the original dudes like Djinn and ed1001 have the right to say

"My batch of 10 already sold out" or "My second batch sold out" or "All my xbox 360s sold already sorry"

Besides pirates are losing money of modded 360s why?
Because of the fact a)not many people are buying them
b)not many people want to take risks of broken warranties,bricking etc.

Its hard to believe that people ARE buying originals.But who cares go on Live and see the amount of people in Malaysia who are using the service.

Unmodded smile.gif .............but probably will if i was unlucky enough to have my console bricked (unless there's official support from M'soft Malaysia ). Hardware failure is one thing, but "accidental" bricked due to firmware update is another. There's a deep uneasy feeling i've got everyday worrying that it's a matter of time before me or anyone that matters got hit....and since they'll more updates coming in as it always be, there's no telling whether my beloved console would be safe. Its not fun having Xbox 360 anymore.

My Xbox 360 and my PAL Xbox 1 are still virgins. Not intending to open them out to mod unless Microsoft excidentally (or intentionally, knowing from the content restriction issue) ban hammer me or the next firmware update bricks it.

USING MODDED 360s IS HERESY!!!

Sigh, buying an unmodded xbox360 will eventually get your machine to be "bricked" by the frequent updates adn buying modded also will get you bricked as well. So how lor??

This question lasts forever... Does people still get mod consoles for the next gen especially for a console who's main essential element is the offer of the Xbox LIVE ?! I personally doesnt own one but if i were to get one, i would say ORIGINAL ftw...

Getting a modded version will only make your console become "junk"

this is matters about peoples thinking, maybe they getting modded sure save lot of money,example
for what need to pay for getting into xboxLIVE,
for what buy/download something yg tak berbaloi or useful,
and for what buy ori games when can buy ridiculus cheap rm 10 for 1 game... bcoz last2 sekali kite nak main games ajer,want to feel what do others ori 360gamers feel, sumer new way of gaming tu ade changing in what we playing ker?
-this is not my words, but some of my frens who owns modded console,

so people like this, I think cannot do anything lor,their mind went to like that... I got unmodded&modded console, so im in the middle, to blame them also cannot coz have to respect their opinion, to support ori games sampai bila? .... thats why i got 2 console .. hehe .. so I can be double agent ... laugh.gif but for this poll I chose UNMODDED .. thumbup.gif true lor, dont believe ar .. sweat.gif

Unmodded user here! I wanted to get a feel of next generation (previous PS2 modded) gaming by logging to XBLive. I must say it is an awesome experience (GoW rule).

Then again, I have just get over with the dilemma of getting mod & unmod console like all other gaming pal. Taking in all the pros & cons factors, I'll say getting an unmod XB360 is wiser choice.

I won't put it as 'right' or 'wrong' to get either type of console but rather ethical issue and what kind of satisfaction of gaming experience you are looking for.

Live to Play! Play to Live! - Happy Gaming and Merry Chirstmas guys!

Sorry to burst your bubbles but this poll is not gonna be accurate - the sample population (LYN forum members) will most likely be pro-originals...

For a more accurate survey, Blake should stand in front of the Sungai Wang game shops (and risk kena belasah by the shopkeepers  whistling.gif ) and ask the ppl going in and out!

it's not meant to be an accurate survey anyway. it's for my personal consumption.

besides, i can get more accurate numbers from the local importers/retailers.

I read somewhere each xbox 360 only allow 4 gamertag free trials. So continuous free trial might not be possible.

dikwen, If you're getting xbox360 play on live too. Its fun. 200 per year is not expensive. 1 month you save around RM20 enough already.

best case scenario- they ban the 360 based on its S/N
worst case scenario- they brick the 360 and powersurge the psWii sitting besides it laugh.gif

Actually i think your gamertag will be safe. It's just your xbox. They ban the ID that is written inside your EEPROM chip. Unless you cheat in multiplayer game, they will ban your gamertag.

That's what happen last gen.

Yup..it's Microsoft...they can do whatever they want to. 4 years of well-develop xbox-modding scene and here's what the homebrew elite has to say : Stop trying to figure out how Microsoft ban your xbox.

Now i just don't see the point to mod your xbox. There is practically no proper homebrew application that is worth checking out. You mod your machine just to scare yourself shitless everyday you turn on your xb360, hoping microsoft don't ban you. What's the point? Why not enjoy your legitimate xbox games to the fullest now, and if the homebrew scene ever gets into serious business, then only you buy another xb360 core system to mod? By that time xb360 will be dirt cheap too! Besides, we got no expandable hdd yet...mod your 360 for what?!?!?

When the homebrew scene is alive & kicking. I will sorta evaluate the rules & regulation here. (what?!? There is a guideline here?!?! laugh.gif )

My advice is : 1 virgin premium xb360 + 1 modded core xb360 (in the near future) = best bundle.

My advice is : 1 virgin premium xb360 + 1 modded core xb360 (in the near future) = best bundle.

Modded here. But will be getting another Unmodded soon.
A little regret having my unit modded. Yes, I get to play many more
games without having to worry about cost of games. But when that
happens, the games will just be there and not being appreciated or
played. Cuz when the games are so cheap, u tend to just pop it in and
then watch the intro and put it back into the plastic cover.

That put the fun out of gaming. I strongly supported modded machines
for PS2 as there were no Online Gaming as what we have with XboxLive
now. To have an modded Xbox360 and not able to get on Live is like
having a PC with no internet connection. After awhile, you will just
get bored and have a nice looking console collecting dust.

I will be getting the PS3 and Wii soon, definitely will not get them
modded. Ever. So, if we have more people like DjiNn - who would
allow customers to try out the games first before purchase, it would
really do the game purchasing less frustrating and disappointing.
Games like Gears Of War are too good not to have XboxLive with.

Definitely.

I only have two games to my name (Viva Pinata and R6V), but they feel oh so special when I put them in...

Don't even dare mod my 360, not only because it was a gift (and RODing it will mean the end of MY live too) but because well, I can afford one game every month or so, and actually FINISH it too.

frankly speaking when buying original games I tend to appreciate my game more. Atleast I will finish the game no matter how boring it is. hm.... or mayb it is just how the achievement point is tricking me to play it.

mine is unmodded.

i play ori games. just got couple of titles today from gamers' hideout. actually, i don't really have time to play that much games nowadays with work and family commitment.

i would like to put things in perspective.

well, i belive that a lot of people here wants to support ori games but can't do so due to the price of ori console games in this part of the world.

personally, for me, i can easily afford ori games, and i was a real hard core gamers. i have most of the game consoles so i practically grew up playing games.

in the early days, pirated games were my main way to get my gaming fix but now, as i can really afford to, i actually go for ori games, most of the time except those that i am getting for my PS2 where i only play sporadically. I will go for PS2 ori for AAA titles though. however, gaming is still a very very expensive hobby for most people especially if you are looking at the current next gen machines with the additional accessories, online subscription and ori games added to the equation. Not many can really go for it. of course, the easy availability of pirated games compounded the matters.

as someone very close to the IT hardware and software industry......ehem, i was involved with a certain biggest software company in the world......i sincerely feel that the console software titles are way too high here. c'mon, it's selling for usd 59.9 a pop in us/uk and here it's rm 160 - rm 220. in perspective, a big mac cost about usd 6.99 there and rm 6.99 here. so dollar to dollar, i would believe there will be a higher percentage of people here who would go for ori. we all can see that there's a increase in shops selling ori and people going for ori titles these days. i can attribute that to growing maturity of gaming crowd who has now grown older, have a good source of income, and are able to put some hard earn cash to support ori.

let me share with you guys an experience that i did, 8-9 years ago. we initiated a big campaign to push microsoft consumer titles(games, reference, edutainment) and gaming hardware. guess where we did it, yup, right in the heart of the IT (also piracy) center those days ie imbi plaza. we figured that we have to make all these titles easily available to the public as it's scarcity will only get people to buy copy versions of the software. single titles were price somewhere between rm 109 to rm 189. we came up with exciting promos and bundles, some multititles tied together, some titles with joypad/mouse/keyboard and etc. we even came out with loyalty program ala bonuslink and newspaper ads. we placed about 1000 boxes of software titles all over imbi particularly the big shops, put up the props, and demo centers plus giving good incentives to the retailers to sell. now, the trick was all these titles were given to this retailers as consignment ie FREE. we send our promoters there once a month to calculate the stocks and only bill them every month for what was sold. the campaign lasted couple of months. of course, at the time, seriouly selling ori titles at the heart of piracy were very very tough. close to the end of the campaign, we cleared a respectable quantity of the stocks particularly top titles like aoe, flight sim, golf and etc. unfortunately, we still have quite a lot of inventories sitting there. now, taking back the unsold stocks was not an option and heads would have rolled if we did that. in the end, we channeled the rest of our marketing dollars to lower down the price of the titles to rm 49.9 and guess what, we never ever get any return of any titles at all. 1000 units, all sold out. so from that lesson, we know that we need shelf space to get consumer to go for ori and more importantly, the correct price point. unfortunately, price is something that can't drop easily for the software publishers ie they don't have bottomless marketing dollars to subsidize the cost. so that explains why xbox was never launched in malaysia even though it was very very close. there were a lot of negotiations that went thru but in the end the power that be decided to pull the plug and left out malaysia.

so, coming back here, it's hard to envisage a mass conversion of gamers to support only ori titles. i'm afraid, like it or not, gaming with ori titles is a hobby that only the elites can enjoy. it will not change until the publisher realizes this and that they decided to go for it and make less rather than losing it to the pirates but i doubt it's ever going to happen cos' of logistics - hard to track different pricing structure across different countries, grey exports (malaysians are good in selling to other regions) and etc but we can all wish.

btw, the big M's employees can buy Xbox titles at only usd 10 a pop at their redmond inhouse store.

haha, u nvr know what is MS Msia's next move tongue.gif tongue.gif

even if ori asian versions do take off at game prices RM125~175, expect only certain titles lighting up the salescharts. the more obscure games will hopefully be on GH rental list rclxms.gif

to reddevil7, thanks for ur little insider story.

Agreed with RedDevil7...

I bought my Warcraft 3 at Hatyai for RM95 juz after w3 released 2 weeks.. and same set selling at M'sia.. selling at rm125..

and for NWN selling at rm75 (thailand manual) and here selling at rm125?

Anything wrong with M'sian? too rich?
Not to question abt Gov. if u wanna stop cetak rompak.. u shd look into pricing a bit .. else will killing us slowly...
ask yourself.. if GoW retail at rm75 will u buy ori or cetak rompak?

juz my 2 cents...

The govt doesn't set the pricing for the products.

One of the main reasons why our games are more expensive here is that the retailers are parallel importing finished goods from overseas.

If we had a local distribution channel they will source for packaging and other materials locally. And the overall cost goes down.

Like SexyBack mentioned, he got NWN at RM75 in thailand, but it had a thai manual. Meaning there's definetly some sort of local distributor/publisher handling it.

Why is it that a few years back, all the Taiwanese games could be sold at a low low price of RM30? (even though they really really sucked lar! tongue.gif) Because every aspect of the product was done here, packaging, CD pressing, etc. etc.

And as you know it, sg wang aka pirate warranty is unreliable and there is no such thing as 1 to 1 exchange for them.

Wait for another update and if your friend's box turn off and he must play without HDD then he can't save anything no matter what he does, and still that's the better one compared to the 360 failing 100%

any shops in sg wang can give all sort of warranty so just wait till your friend's 360 got that friendly 3ROD then see lah what's his shop warranty then!!!

* we already got another forumer experienced this earlier. he bought his 360 from sg wang and after he got that 3ROD shop cant fix it and told him have to wait many months for parts... which is bullshit!!!

My 1st x360 was modded. I thought, hey, my old xbox and ps2 was modded anyways, so let's continue.

But when I got it, I really wanted to play on live, and i am regret also when buying the modded system.

Luckily, I had a friend who wanted one for exclusive offline gaming, and he bought an unmodded one to trade with mine. I lost money there, yes, but I got a fresh system which was a more recent build (August instead of April), and have been enjoying online play without worry.

Apart from losing all my saves the other day (I would've lost more without the recover gamertag function), I guess I've been pretty satisfied with it. I know I made the right choice with the unmodded system. I earn enough to cover the live costs and the original games (usually secondhand tho) so I guess it's ok. RM 150 for a new Asian version game is ok. Over RM200 is not. RM 80ish for a secondhand one is even more ok.

Also, when I got the modded system, 4 out of the 10 games that came with it did NOT work. That really pissed me off, and helped me make up my mind. I wanted a system that worked, and did not require me to go back to Sungei Wang every week only to find that I can't change it because Visit Malaysia Year 2007 means No Open Piracy Year 2007 also.

any shops in sg wang can give all sort of warranty so just wait till your friend's 360 got that friendly 3ROD then see lah what's his shop warranty then!!!

* we already got another forumer experienced this earlier. he bought his 360 from sg wang and after he got that 3ROD shop cant fix it and told him have to wait many months for parts... which is bullshit!!!

Yeah, I'd trust the Sungei Wang buggers as far as I can throw them. They're there to give you the best deal on something, not provide super customer satisfaction.

Those who work in sungei wang are not microsoft staff, when you get ban from Xboxlive...how are they gona 'warrant' you a new xb360?

All the 1to1 3to1 10to1 warranty are just their shop warranty. They are friendly when you try to buy xb360 from them, when your xb360 are really in deep shit...it will be the same result.

i think so coz ur promoting piracy that way
but unless u bought it and u mod it urself thats a different story where by the x360 belongs to you and u have the rights to do whatever u want to it where by microsoft has the chance to reject ur warranty anytime if found tempered

thats because u do not have the time to enjoy live
but treat it as a investment
if u were to stop playing ur x360 u can sell it off easily coz its a unmodded machine smile.gif

Hmm..I havent got one yet but i'll buy unmodded coz of the XboxlIve..

If the person doesnt want to play Live,then get a modded might be alright but gettin a Xbox 360 is for the online games experience ma...

I went to Sg wang and asked bout the price..All of them asked me why dun u get the modded one instead and many of them claimin that their xbox 360's cant be detected by MS..I juz berpura-pura listen to them..I dun wanna get from them at all after hearing all of this..

Now juz waitin for my income plus commision,then play play play play all the way..

No live, money wasted, silver account can't work either I think cause my old xbox got banned(the xbox, not the account) as a modchip was detected. Therefore I couldn't go online anymore.

If you get an update with a modded console and the update happens to screw your hard xbox you may have to remove the hard drive to play, thus not allowing game saves. Even worse the 360 might screw up completely from an update laugh.gif

what hamster mention is true i guess
every update scares me givin me chill down my spine!
so
get unmodded
original is teh way
it benefits us in every way
software company are willing to sponsor and invest in gaming tournaments in our local scene if theres much original games support here

why would they invest or spend a single cent promoting a game which the people here only buy piracy disc which doesnt bring them a single cent

simple nuff logic

buy hey u can buy fake william hung cd's coz he sux to e core

Um, maybe he meant that the game is not playable on his machine, there have been reports saying that due to the printing method of the discs, some machines refuse to run it...

Hell, maybe i should stop playing xbox360 all together and work harder for a higher position, then might have time to play later, wakakak.

i copy this from a xbox forum in hong kong , i feel angry if what they say is real, but will it really happened ?? sorry to ppl who dunno chinese

我覺得 microsoft 應該有排都唔會禁囉~
xbox 可以玩老番~對佢地d機既出貨量一定有保證~
d game 既價錢絕對係會影響你買唔買部機~
除非閣下有不錯收入或十分有錢~
因為機錢係俾一次~game 錢就要成日俾~所以好傷~
一有得玩老番一定會吸引到一d人去選擇佢
microsoft 係想提升自己既市場佔有率~
唯一可做既係 sell 多d機~
同時又可以對 game develop 有d交待
證明自己主機銷量, 吸引多d人係 xbox lei 個平台出 game~
其實有老番~microsoft 唔會有d乜野重大問題~
反而係令人選擇佢既一個 point~仲可以 save 返一d廣告費

I think M$ won't be banning (modded) anytime soon lo~
If pirated games can be played~ it would guarantee the sales of the console~
The price of the game will definitely make you to buy or not to buy (modded)~
Unless you, sir, have a decent income or very rich~
Because for console you pay once~ but for the games you will constantly buying~ it's very burdenning~
Being able to play pirated games will attract people to go for it~
M$ wants to improve its market share~
The only thing they can do is sell more consoles~
In the mean time, it would reassuring the game developers too
Proving that the console sales is robust, more people would develope games on xbox platform~
Actually with the existance of pirates~ M$ won't face any big problem~
Moreover this is one of the point people choosing xbox~ plus can save a bit on ads fee too

They should ban the XBL players who are using modded. But just ban the account. I think this will be profiting for microsoft as people can keep making accounts and microsoft can keep banning them laugh.gif

For those of you with modded consoles, did the shop give you your original firmware?

I modded my 360 myself a few days ago, and because I did it myself I got to choose which firmware to install (the latest) and I have the backups of the original firmware.

I disable a network connection until I actually want to play on Live (which is not very often), and if I ever hear that MS have started banning then all I have to do is put back the original firmware and everything is as good as new.

smile.gif

Modded because GoW sold out everywhere and couldn't wait. So modded, downloaded game, burned to DVD and played straight away without ever leaving the house!

My personal policy is only to go on Live with original games though.

Malaysia, China among worst piracy offenders
ESA releases report on worldwide software and game piracy; says Chinese offenders are hurting legit game companies in the region.
By Beth Winegarner, GameSpot
Posted Feb 11, 2005 5:29 pm PT

Malaysia and China are among the countries pirating the most software, including video games, according to a report from the Entertainment Software Association. The ESA provides a filing each year to the US Trade Representative, which uses it to produce an annual "Special 301" report. This year's Special 301 said Malaysian operations remain the top producers of pirated discs. Malaysian factory-made game and software dubs have been seized in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the US, and South America.

China was a close second, as its pirated materials there constituted 90 percent of its total software and games market. Many Chinese Internet cafés even offer patrons the use of pirated games and unauthorized servers. That's bad news for Chinese companies attempting to legitimately develop and sell online games, the ESA's report says. "Freeing these markets from the pirates' stranglehold will help empower a local video game economy," said ESA president Doug Lowenstein. Chinese piracy factories also continue to churn out massive numbers of cartridge games.

Now that CD and DVD burners are prevalent in consumer-grade PCs, piracy rates are growing in countries like India, now at 86 percent of its total market; Brazil, at 74 percent; and Saudi Arabia, at 68 percent.

"Despite efforts by the US government over the years, it's déjà vu all over again as these countries ... skirt their global obligations to protect intellectual property," Lowenstein said. "We hope that this year's report will prompt the US to crack down even further."

In some ways, American laws may actually make it easier for pirates to get a leg up. According to an ESA statement released yesterday, "US publishers ... face an arduous content-review process that often takes several months to complete, giving pirates an exclusive distribution window for freshly pirated product that has not gone through such reviews."

A country-by-country analysis of copyright infringement is included in the Special 301 report, which will be available shortly at the International Intellectual Property Alliance Web site. When a country makes it into the report, the US government can impose trade sanctions on the region...once it completes an investigation of the violations.

p/s: so anybody try to be a heroes out there??? whistling.gif (be a good consumer k)....now they r targeting canada....sigh.....the pirates wont stop.....so pull up ur sock and be a MATURED GAMER...support original!!!

The problem is, it's already ingrained into the typical Malaysian mentality that piracy is a really grey area where rules are flexible, and therefore can be taken advantage of. Intellectual property has no value here because it's not a tangible object that can be physically valued or passed from hand to hand.

Not only that, the medium by which data can be transferred, either by disc or over a network, is so easily and readily accessible, there is no barrier to prevent widespread duplication and distribution. CD-keys and copy protection is so limited.

So it's a vicious cycle lah. The consumer will opt for the lower price alternative, and the developers will knee-jerk and start avoiding the market altogehter, leaving the true original-buying local consumers with little alternative than to masquerade as Singaporeans in order to get their daily gaming fixes.

Exactly! You can spend 2000 bucks on a video card, but not 800 bucks for Windows XP? smile.gif

It's not always about the money. Some people do it just because they can. I know I do.
However, I will never try to justify why I'm doing so because no matter how you spin it, you're on the EVIL side. cool2.gif

On a tangent, that's what pissed me of massively abt some recent games. Bad enough that PC games are released before being properly tested & we get stuck w/downloading MASSIVE patches (FEAR's latest patch is about 400MBs), but we have to put up with this crap in console gaming as well now?

F*ck that. If you need to issue a patch for a CONSOLE game, DON'T BOTHER RELEASING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Better that, than living with a very rare glitch that for example, removes the ability to gain achievements and gamerscore(not such glitch...yet)? Or permanently crashes your game everytime you boot it?

I don't see the point of ciplak anymore with the pasar malam here.

Buy a game for rm80, finish it, sell it off for rm80.

Repeat.

That rm200 you'd spend on the modding, it's better to invest in like 3 ori games from pasar malam, and move them when you're done with them.

Talk about being spoiled with cheap pirated games, my brother bought 10 PS2 games in one go.. but all try 1 level then keep in the folders already. he has like 10 folders full of jacksparrow games.. but he only ever play 2 games til finish. if he kept all the RM50 he spent on 10 games everytime he goes to Sg Wang, 4 times save can buy 1 ori game and play till eyes bleed.

i guess that's it lor.. because there's pirated version, people don't bother buying ori.

Pirated games if something wrong happens you'll probably just waste your money buying the same game to find out it still doesn't work and give up and just buy another game to play for the 10 mins you're bored.

Are you gonna play online? Because that's one of the 360's BIGGEST strengths.

+1 to unmodded.

With copy DVDs, there's a very high failure rate. Out of 10 discs you buy, 2-4 are not going to work. That's from me, as a first-hand witness.

-1 to modded.

With modded systems, many have problems getting online. The vendors of modded systems will tell you NOT to go online. Understandably, if MS catches you online with a modded system, wouldn't it be in their interest to disable your account? Might not happen today, but it's no fun playing on borrowed time.

-1 to modded.

The vendors of modded systems also tell you NOT to accept updates. And those updates you need to play online, wouldn't they mess with the firmware mod? Maybe not, but you can see the inherent risk there.

-1 to modded.

I brought my unmodded system and tried to system link with my friend's modded system. R6V and GoW both failed to connect as my system had all the updates and his did not, and these games require the exact version to function.

-1 to modded.

Game cost? RM20 vs RM160? Well, you gotta play smart, then. Look in the 360 Pasar Malam. Old titles trade for RM80, and the slightly newer ones and limited editions move at around RM100 to RM120. Put in RM80, buy a game. Finish it, sell it. Repeat. No, you won't have 2,364,635 (of which 60% work) different games like you'd have with a modded system, but with that number, would you meaningfully enjoy every single game out there? Already, once you have 6 titles, you'd find that's enough to take up whatever free time you have. So that RM80 can last you a pretty long time, re-using it to purchase games.

+1 to unmodded.

Xbox Live cost? Yeah, the subscription is not cheap. Yeah, we all have to pretend to be Singaporean. But last night I hid behind a pillar, waited three seconds as this guy ran towards where I was, and I jumped out and chainsawed him in GoW. He was the last enemy on the map. That adrenaline rush, that moment when you clench your fist and say "YES!!!!" (with the mic off, of course) makes it worthwhile. More than worthwhile.

+1 to unmodded.

Lastly, some people have managed to get modded systems working with Live and all that. Good for them, it shows ingenuity and a certain disregard for piracy laws, which is what they're willing to live with. My conscience is clear, I'm glad that what I pay goes back to the devs when I pick up a new game. Yeah, so what if MS makes some $ off me, I'm really enjoying the 360 so that's worth it. And if you really want to know, I did buy a modded system first. Within an hour I knew I made a mistake. I went to great pains to get rid of it, and get an unmodded one. And I'm glad I did.

there is always pro and con between mod and unmooded
no need to keep telling everyone bout that
as for me
i'm happy had a unmooded version
i can play live and didn't fear getting banned by MS if they apply implement in the future...

some more
while playing online
i also had many virtual member
then we had gathering to meet and talked bout new downloaded for games that available in live marketplaces

i wont talk about mod
since it was useless
if they happy with modd version
then u live with it..

if those stubborn ppl still want to try out the modded version let them try la.. they will regret it later. frankly speaking, playing online is bout 10x more fun than playing alone even though it is the same game.

Yes true, so far my machine can do almost anything that unmodded machine can do like updates, play online, download arcade game/trailer/themes from xbox live. Except can play halo game, others so far so good i think.

Base on my requirement, should I get a mod or unmod Xbox 360?
-I not very into online gun fire games
-Perfer Fighting (DOA4), Action (NNN), Sport (DOAX)& RPG (Blue Dragon)
-Not high earning worker

Last time I bought a mod Xbox but never go online as I think is not needed as most of the game I playd didn't require any update. Like DOA3, DOAU, DOAX, Ninja Gaiden & so so...

BTW, izzit that the Xbox 360 include Media center which can play PC file like avi, rm, wma, mkv & so so. I used to play on my xbox.

Where is DjiNn shop location? If conclusion is unmod Xbox 360, I properly will get it from him.

If you pick a modded, you're taking a risk. 3ROD comes in, RM1500+ wasted and no money to replace. If you pick unmodded you can get the warranty easily and most games are gun-fire so you won't have to buy too many games. Buying The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion(action RPG) will make you burn lots of time on a single game.

since u r a offline gamer, can buy modded/unmodded (not much difference) whistling.gif whistling.gif some very chun games, can save a bit to buy ori lor to show ur support icon_rolleyes.gif

keep in mind some games buy original also not that expensive. new games around RM16X++, 2nd-hand/3rd hand games around RM8X++. i think djinn shop also rent out games so can try it for short single player games. cough..bullet witch..cough biggrin.gif


another thing to rmb is u can dload gamedemos from xboxlive. for example, i dloaded lost planet/armored core 4 and realise the games, while nice to play, i'm too lousy to ever complete it sweat.gif (no gameshark codes here i'm afraid) LoL. so decided only buy a 3rd hand/4th hand/5th hand/budget rerelease copy later on when the price is right.

3rod is hardware failure and it strike on both unmodded or modded consoles. depends on your luck. it's a hardware failure due to manufacturing defect. do take note the best way to solve this 3rod issue is send back to microsoft for warranty. even though there are few tricks available to revive a deadly 3rod console, it will still get back the 3rod not long after that. if you wanna buy 360 do take serious note on this issue and most shops in sg wang all provide those socalled useless "warranty" and they even promise you 3rod can be fix!

still dont yet when is the new version will be available.

wow, im actually surprised by the number of unmodded console users here. is it due to the early users who have bought the 360 before any modifications became available...or people are actually skeptical about getting banned from LIVE?

also, is it true that pirated games for the 360 has a higher chance of failures and not being able to work when compared to the ps2 and xbox 1?

I was down at my friend's place the other day. Of the first 10 titles he got for his modded system, 4 do not work as intended, or at all.

1) PGR3 has the entire city of Tokyo missing. Loading any race there will hang the system. After a few trophies in, you simply cannot progress any further.
2) TH Project 8 gets into the main menu and character creation, but actually entering the game results in a crash.
3) PES6 simply does not initialise.
4) Full Auto also fails to initialise.

Now, some were bought in Sg Wang in late 2006. They are now impossible to change, given the VMY07 crackdown on pirated stuff in high tourist traffic areas. You're also not assured of a perfectly stamped disc, and many of these problems may come from the lack of any QC at all. I dunno about you, but many VCD/DVD movies artifact like hell towards the end of the show. Since it happens across different players, I'm thinking it's a disc manufacturing thing, or at least something to do with the disc.

Also, with pirated discs on the x360, we have found out that it doesn't take very many minor scratches on the disc surface to render it pretty much useless. Unlike the original xbox, or ps2, they'd run moderately scratched discs without a problem. Discs at my friend's place have always had a naturally high attrition rate (imagine a stack of discs in the open, with no covers...) but even the effort put into taking care of these new x360 ones can't help but result in minor scarring. That has resulted in a couple of faulty discs already.

But as always, YMMV.

We buy Ori games 2nd or 1st hand also..
but there still some way to play more games...
is to exchange wif ur frens... or borrow...

y ppl complaining about the games so expensive...
you can get it n sell it out back after 2-3 months...
buy 2nd n sell out back is not that expensive...
buy back RM80 sell out RM60 which is only need RM20...
so expensive is not a excuse...

not really surprising. this is a techie forum. so i guess IT workers and IT college students often post here. these ppl have a higher respect for IP since they are part of a IP industry anyway tongue.gif tongue.gif

some more they are gonna play LIVE with each other as a community. gonna suck if u buy lots of cheap pirated games (regardless of quality) and then go online and see ur online buddies discussing how to save their hard earned money to buy the latest quality game and enjoying without any guilt, doesn't it? laugh.gif

look at the playstation subforum lar, for every 1 gamer who support/buy ori, there'll be 5 others who call him a joker or RMS (Rich Man's Son) muahahah. here for every 1 gamer who boast abt buying pirated games, there'll be a few others (including young kids) who blast/shame them for their disrespect.

at the end of the day, just enjoy the games. if possible, show some support using ur hard-earned money. if not possible (e.g. still a kid asking for daddy's allowance), hopefully can show some support when u working.

okay... this is my 2nd attempt to writing this comment.
my lappy died laugh.gif

ok. i'll try to answer this as best i could..
this is completely based on my understanding..
dont started to flame all of a sudden..
i dont own a 360, but my bro does..
so its been a full month and there's no problem us
registering live, firmware updates etc...
M$ currently cant detect modded 360 consoles because it is
flash thru the dvd drive to able the machine to play copy games.
* u can actually mod it urself, by attaching the drives to ur pc and start flashing *
unlike xbox1 which had mod chip installed.
ok, how about the last update that wipe out all the modded 360?
on that particular update it'll check whether he firmware on ur drive and
machine are correct. either one of them didnt match, it'll make a false
flash and make ur 360 die.
i dont know about this, but there's a way around it to make it alive again
by reflashing the drives.

hmm.. the 3rod.. i'd say it has nothing to do with modded or unmodded consoles.
3rod is actually based on flashing and hardware problems rite?
only the modded owners hav to be aware when ur dies.. u cant save it
anymore.

and the 360 copy games are running fine.
except xbox1 games tho tongue.gif incompatibility issues.. dang..

remember.. this statement is only from my understanding.
any1 is welcome to correct it. smile.gif

How & where? I have been playing Halo 2 for 1 year on modded xbox, personally i haven't met anyone using pirated copy to login live. Also to my knowledge, that's almost impossible.

For the records, i got ban 5 times on Xbox Live.

neh.... until now no one knows that is is really can't or can be detected.. is still a conspiracy at the moment~. but do we have the information about this matter ? or just becuase we follow whats people opinion/statment said ? anybody got a link said that MS Can't detect this problem ? I guess not~. even it does have, MS will simply decline or close it down that information.. But is it the real thing ? nobody knows yet.. really is like a guessing game..

Exactly...since Xbox 1 it's all about guessing. Nobody really knows how the banning works.

I still believe its part of Microsoft policy for not banning modded xb360, like how Microsoft not spending that much of an effort in stopping pirated OS in China because they want the user to adopt Windows, then in 5-10 years time when Microsoft start cracking down pirated user, the user would have no choice but to shell out cash for the legitimate copy because they are so used to Windows Platform.

It's the same scenario for Xbox Platform but for the console market, Microsoft is not the dominant one.
Remember their 10 million xb360 & the millions Xblive subscriber promise?
Captain Jack Sparrow is indeed part of it.

flashing is more dangerous but if u install modchip there is no prob at all. U can activate it or deactivate it, so when wan play ori go live, u just start ur 360 normally, if wanna play backup, just activate. No firmware flashing, still using ori firmware.

why ban the pirates if the pirates are willing to pay them gold xboxlive subscriptions, LoL? like i said b4, xboxlive will sell in china, their games will not doh.gif

ofcos, the trouble is most pirated games are bought cheaply and placed aside without any enjoyment at all. sure, its great when ur gamertag has fifty billions games on it, but all only play 2 hours at best tongue.gif achievement unlocked?

playing pirated games is easy, enjoying them and finding ppl who enjoy them with u is hard tongue.gif tongue.gif

well, the news i havent confirm it yet for myself.
but, it does make sense..

here are my findings.

QUOTE
After several months of silence it was more or less accepted that Microsoft wasn't going to do anything about the firmware hacks that allow Xbox 360s to play backups. Rather surprising, considering the 'inventor' of the hack confirmed in March already that the mods are easily detectable, and the reports that piracy is running rampant in countries like China. It appears that Microsoft is finally taking action against them though, although they may be hitting the wrong persons.

What makes you think that they are making money by leaving the modded 360 untouched? Live subscription? Everybody knows that console makers make their money not from the hardware, but from the software. They even sell hardware at a loss during the first initial years, before turning proift by streamlining production costs in the later years. It is through the SOFTWARE that they are making money from, from royaltes, licensing fees and such. And these pirates are depriving them of their money to counter the loss they had for R&D as well as launching the console in the first place. I say ban those pirates with extreme prejudice.

So at this point in time, without any hardware revisions and cost cutting measures implemented, i still say Microsoft is bleeding money out through manufacturing costs, although not as much as during the initial launch. Their only chance to get even on the balance sheet is through their software sales, and by these pirates burning their own copy of the game, or buying them from another pirate, they are not contributing towards MS at all, prolonging MS's financial in the red.

The most proper punishment , for me at least, is easy. Ban those GTs and their Live accounts for life, once they found out about these folks dabbling with modified drives/units. See how they squeal when their 8-thousand plus GS gamertags gets flushed down the toilet. Or having to create a new GT and having to enable Live back with repurchasing all the items they have bought before again. Schwwwinnnggg!

Pity yes, but i expect you to hold responsibility of your expensive purchase. If you hadnt done proper research or keep yourself informed of the equipment you are about to purchase, you are not entitled to own one IMO. This is not like buying a thousand dollar cake or a thousand dollar worth of shark fin soup, where the purpose is simple, this is buying a reasonably complicated device. And if you are not prepared to keep yourself informed about that said device, IMO you are not worthy to own one.

Too many times i have seen casuals come in here whining about their mistaken purchases, and when you ask them if they had done some surveying around before the purchase, guess what their answers would be? This is not like buying shoes or clothes, people!

If you purchased a car and the person said it came with an insurance for example, you were driving it home a few days later and you crash into a car parked in the middle of the road and your car gets destroyed while the other car got damaged. Turned out there was no insurance and the shop just closed down after you bought your car.

That would not happen to me. I would most definitely, for the sum of money i parted with buying such an item, to check that EVERYTHING is in order. Same goes to my other purchases as well. If you miss out one detail that could bite you back in your bottom, who else is there to blame other than yourself? TO me, if you let yourself be trapped into such a scenario in the first place, you are not prepared to even own a car, if you know next to nothing about something as essential as car insurance. wink.gif

Eh, no fight is necessary, just pointing out the obvious. Dont have to take me for an example, there are others who can afford staying true to the cause, and they are students saving up their pocket money. Says a lot about you now isnt it? wink.gif

if u havent know yet,
i get RM2 daily and i need it to spend on my canteen food, drinks, new pens.. etc.. tongue.gif
if i do save it a year worth of money, it'll only get 360 ( forgot the total days in a year tongue.gif )
multiply by 2 = hah, didnt even reach 1k yet.
that didnt count the holidays yet.
now, how long is that gonna take me to even buy me a new game?
my parents obviously not gonna help me funding for my games.

and who could resist the temptation owning one?

Then concentrate on your studies now, get good grades, study smart and get a good paying job and spend it with whatever you like later. Get your priorities straight.

hmm ....

kids have plenty of spare time to game. but no real income besides daddy's allowance ...
working adults have the financial freedom to spend on their hobbies and support ori games, but the job hours really take a toll, and not much spare time to game ....

solution? uncle buy games, nephew go play smile.gif smile.gif

You dont have to born genius or "bright" to succeed, just old fashion elbow grease and plenty of hard work. Perhaps, if you put that PSP/Xbox 360 down once in a while, and try a little bit more studying and burning the midnight oil, that you can do perhaps a little bit better in school. I see you also charge for your "services" in modding PSPs, that is a good start, but i suggest you dont treat that as a permanent way of making a living, you dont want to end up like those Lalas selling pirated PS2 games and DVDs in Sg.Wang do you? Advice is free, lunch is not, as pointed out by Michael. wink.gif

Funny how in the 360 section, there's controlled talks on piracy and the folks here are warming up more on respecting intellectual properties, while on the Playstation section,its the total opposite and these kind of folks flourish. Wonder what went wrong......

but to think of it. if u own M$ would u ban ppl playing on their modded consoles
and paid for their LIVE services?

if from the marketing issue.. thinking would be different. they would like start calculating the percentage or something.

but this is hard to think off~. Currently We really don't know how or how many people console are moded.

You are headed to the right direction, good work! rclxms.gif Study smart and then play hard, after all, once you are already earning your own money, you deserve it. thumbup.gif

Back to the original topic.


Added on March 22, 2007, 4:49 pmAgain, i reiterate. Live service is a one off payment. Once you paid, that's it, MS dont get any more money out of it. Since the money is already in the pocket, what is stopping MS from banning those who breached the Terms and Conditions by banning those GTs, even if they had paid for Live?

The milking cash cow, comes from the software sales. And judging from how these pirates are happily burning their own DVDs to play on their modded 360s, what more has MS got to lose, other than the continual declines of their sales from these bleeding pirates? And obviously as well, since these pirates are so cheap they burn their own stuff, i'd imagine that cheapskateness will extend to the downloadable contents purchasable via Marketplace as well. I doubt that they would buy MS Point cards or charge their cards to buy these, when they are too cheap to even buy a legitimate game! So, what has Microsoft stand to lose again? rolleyes.gif In fact, i say they stand to gain, since they get rid of the rubbish in the rubbish bin so to speak, and keep the quality ones in their folds. wink.gif

Features? Try OWNING one in the first place before coming back to me with features. So much hogging around other people's consoles, it's sick. BTW quoting news from teh interweb does not automatically makes you the Master Degree holding of Console Features 101. Try owning one and come back to me later, buddy. wink.gif

Modding a DVDROM drive on the 360 is NOT a feature, last i recall. It's a breach of TOS.

Tried Linux on the PS3 yet buddy? Ooops i forgot, you dont have one. MCE integration? Perhaps not. What else you have to throw at me?

Just tried a FEATURE on the PS3, Folding looks good, and it's doing manking good as well. Have you tried this FEATURE on YOUR PS3, my dear friend? laugh.gif
