This box will be modified. PM me with price. I need one soon. If I don't get a reply within a few days i'll resort to ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Whats the big deal with the date? I saw VB posted something similar just a few weeks before? Is that the only versions that can be modded? Or is it a different process now? I think there was a website that does this, and they can buy an X-box, mod, and send to you. Seemed easy enough, but now I'm curious about the date thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 May is pretty much the safe date right now for modding. Some changes have been made to the boards and video output set. Newer chips are available right now though that make it possible to do newer ones as well as the software needed. But I always had to wonder, why buy a new one when you're just gonna void the warranty and rip it open anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I want to run Linux, so it is probably a different story. The new xboxes made after 7-24-03 have this new Focus Video-Encoder, I donno if that has anything to do with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Nope the video encoder seems to only conflict with Linux so far. Of course, that will be fixed I'm sure soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading somewhere awhile back, they mentioned how you should go about returning them once you break them with a sh!ty mod. There was a mini-FAQ about it, and what various retail establishments check for. That may be one reason to buy new, just for a return warranty if you break it. I don't condone this behavior, this was jsut what I read somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yea old ones can still be found in stores but now with the Holidays here, I think it would be harder to get one. I love looking on Ebay and seeing ones described as "not working, it frags and has been opened". Gee somebody can't solder for shit so let's pass it on to someone else They act as if this is normal Now me? If I screwed one up, I'd wanna keep it for parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x6d696168 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I really don't see the point in linux on the xbox. I love linux, but you can build a better system for the same price, and you dont have to mod it, mod keyboards, etc to get it working.

holygrailvideogames.com Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 modchip.ca sells modified Xbox systems, but they don't state the date of manufacture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
