even the experienced mod users have a 2nd unmodded console juz in case. u've juz bought a console, with ur hard-earned cash i presume, so please don't turn it into an expensive paperweight.

juz buy the originals, if u dun have enuff cash u juz have to start making ur own gaming fund. trust me, it's worth the time..

got extra money to pay extra for the "mod"..but no money to buy ori games..

will do then.... now no $$$, gaji belom masuk.

to save moolahs. isn't that so obvious? bah!

if you know how to count an original cost me rm160 per game. and a mod cost me rm120 and games cost me about rm15 per game. long term i am saving more if i were to buy 'backup' games. i know it is not right but saving moolahs in my pocket makes me feel happier.

you must have never experience Xbox Live. i do hope u try it first before you buy a modded console.

ya lah...Live is sooo good...u can make friends and laugh ur arse off while playing games..(especially GOW...)

I don't know lar, last time I tried updating my modded 360, weird stuff started happening. First my downloads started slowing down as if TMNut was throttlign bandwidth again, then after running some speed test it seems like that wasn't the case.

So I ran a packet analyzer on my network, that's when I saw the 360 making network connections to all the PCs connected on my network. Strange I thought, but it just be scanning for Windows Media Connect devices.

Then one day I realised one my machines restarted by itself while I was playing GOW with the guys. After it started back up, the HDD was trashing around furiously as if it was running a defrag or somethin. The system performance itself wasn't affected, the harddisk was just running around alot.

I ran a file access analyzer and realised that something was going through all the file on my system. Shocked that I may have unknonwingly gotten some form of virus I turned off the 360 to concentrate on my problem, which magically went away when my 360 turned off.

Now I've decided to dedicate a single specific line for my 360 so I can isolate it from the network.. who knows what other weird stuff that MS wants to do with the modded boxes...

before this im using MOD one.. tapi lepas tu kecewa.. one.. coz.. play only with AI.... hmmm but after discover GOW .... with online playing... my life become more happier.... ( but my poket not la.. who. care.. make OT banyak sikit la... for extra money)....

But somebody use MOD one.. it up to u la.... coz.. that your money... nobody bother about that... but.... whichout online gaming.... next gen console... (PS3,Wii & 360) like.. PS1... play with AI.... & keep smilling "sorang2" (syok sendiri)....

well done for you!!!

you think you only need to save $$$ kah... here also got few students that still studying and also struggling for original games!

ai yo,
just buy 2 console, 1 original with LIVE and 1 modded with dato J.S.
enough already ... heheheh !

We're not all that rich, majority of us aren't.

ya lar, just joking ... hehehhe !

btw, go for ori sure win !!

Live rocks man. u can even meet girls playing GOW on Live

so i heard.

I even heard someone (not scpt) tried to get some gal's msn contact wei.

waaaa..that bad.....can share that gal contact msn or not..ehehehehe

Well, im supporting d original. But sure enuf the cheaper d better for ur financing planning.

What i read in various forums, MS will not go that far to hammer ur modded console like case above me. It is ILLEGAL to them to modify ur console for the purpose to make sure ur modded 360 died. U still can play games but might not in live later.

So marauderz, u can sue MS to make some $$.

well let just wait they hit the 10mil xbox 360 sold~ and we will see some action..

ya then no one will ask questions like if a modded xbox 360 can go online or not.

But Ms did make the modded older xbox died when they caught those with modded before.
