Mod chips let you play copies of games. I don't know if they're illegal, but they do void the warranty on your Xbox.





Thanks to Melo_Man for the sig

Also modding ur Xbox means you can get a bigger harddrive to save more games on to.. if you have an Xbox it's definately worth getting done by someone aslong as they don't look to dodgy

It depends on the mod chip and where you live. I'm 99.9% positive that they aren't illegal in Canada. What is illegal in almost all countries are modchips that need to be flashed with firmware that contains copyrighted code. But most of those kinds of modchips happen when the modchips are first coming out and the chip makes haven't had much experience with the console and just want to rush there product out as quick as possible. New Xbox modchips do not require you to flash their firmware with illegal code to run unauthorized software on the Xbox.

Yeap a friend of mine has put a 80GB HD on his XBox and he has copied almost 20 games in there.Plus the games run significantly faster and loading times don't exist anymore ;)

I think it's legal to have them in your xbox, but to copy the games onto them makes it illegal! I have a 120 gb Hard drive and it's awesome, it even has a media player that plays all formats of videos, so I watch all of my downloaded games on my Xbox

yes its definetly illegal since it terminates your 1 year guarantee and the chip installed inside allows u to play COPY games- we all know that copying a game , music cd , movie is illegal especially in U.S. so that explains it- i dont think putting a bigger hard drive is illegal and saving games in them is illegal cause its just like the pc! i know about this kinda stuff cause its my line of work - i dont install chips but we r associated wit people who do and we r the ones that sell them!! and games r only 5 pounds = $10 !



big thanx to jojo#15 for this hot sig once again!!
