lethargy Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I'm going back to Uni in September, and rather than take a separate DVD player with me, I'll be using the Xbox. Thing is, loads of my titles are R1, and for this reason and others, I want to get the Xbox chipped to do all the usual gubbins (eg 'backups', all region DVDs without the need for the official remote + eye, emulation, ability to switch chip off for Xbox live etc etc). Does anyone around here offer the service, or know of anyone who does, and how much am I looking at? Give me a yell at tom_quayle@hotmail.com or ring 439104.

Slim Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Best thing about a chipped xbox is that it'll play divx/xvid. So you can stuff a single writable dvd with five or so full length movies in divx. Not that I'd actually do that of course, because my xbox definately isn't modded. In fact I don't even have an xbox! I'm just saying what's possible!

ans Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 oh well ill still continue my "illegal" activities. Why have you put it in quotes? Are you implying that it's not illegal? I'd be very careful about advertising your service on a public forum from now on. Plus I would imagine its about to become a whole lot more difficult for you to source chips from the UK now, leaving you at the mercy of far East traders.

Slim Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 To play imported games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, right. The gaming equivalent of saying you read porn mags for the stories! What imported game do you want to play so badly to make chipping worth while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 dunno why i put it in quotes just felt good at the time. I havent really been advertising just when people ask i offer. yer i had actually noticed a lot of the chips have become discontinued (possibly shutdown) dunno, oh well.Its all good ey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
