Most MITs are happy to learn from someone knowledgeable :) Where are ya working now?

Your store didnt receive them yet ? Apparently, Microsoft sent the out about a week ago and the majority of stores have broken its street date.

Like I said, I don't know. I haven't checked. I left the company with this being my 3rd week since I left.

Oh, I thought you meant when you left today.

If you do get it modded make sure it has a switch to turn the mod chip on and off. Wont be able to play on Xbox Live if you cant turn off your chip.

Damnit, Pete.

The first time I played it I thought it was the worst game I ever played. My friends and I just sat around saying how horrible of a game it was. It soon grew on me and we started playing it more than Halo (and we played Halo 24/7).

Someone will have them later today when I go to get it. I love this series. MC2 is a cheap rip off and it is no where near as fun.

Just get a no solder modchip like the Matrix or something. You can install it in about 10 minutes. No soldering required. I've installed 2 of them. Easy as pie.

But they're not good as the ones soldered into xbox?


Could you guys recommend me a good one without soldering and good compatibility with dvd+rw? I would like the x-cuter mod but needs soldering.
