xbox question

[raiders710]

Here is a long shot:

Anyone know what kind of modchip they install for Xbox in China, more specifically Shanghai.
I plan to buy a xbox in the US and bring it to shanghai and have someone install a modchip. And load up on all the games from there.

But if i can get the modchip in US, i may just install it myself and just buy all the games there.

Thanks

Oh, also, should i get Xbox or PS2. since they're the same price.

Thats stupid though. You should be able to post anything you want... since it is an Off Topic forum.

To answer your question, I haven't heard of anyone getting their xbox modded overseas. I wouldn't think it would be a problem though. It's probably cheaper there.

I modded my friend's PS2 with the no-solder modchip and use gameshark discs.

But none of the games/discs i bought from shanghai last summer worked with it. It did work on my other friend's chinatown modded PS2.

even the old ones dont, all you need is a switch to turn the mod on/off

Who needs Live when you've got XBOX Connect?

Have you seen how slow xboxconnect is with some games?

Fine with all the games I've tried.. Halo, Tony Hawk 4, NFL Fever 2003, MechAssault, and DeathRow. Maybe you should try connecting to a different person. I do know that certain people do lag like hell on there, but thats the same with any online games. You just gotta find the right connection.

what law, since when is modding illegal??????????

 

Related/unrelated news gamegizmo closed their doors forever Probably because of pressure from MS.

They're both maddeningly simple.

PS2s have a no-solder, and Xboxen are down to a single wire on some mods.
