No-Solder Modchip For The Xbox

Posted by timothy on from the play-as-you-please dept.

toothfish writes "There's a review of the latest generation of Xbox modchip over at xbox hacker- no solder, flashable BIOS, 15 min. install, etc. Stuff like this should make it easier for the average Xbox user to run emulators, Linux, and such. No word if it does or does not work in the latest iteration of Xbox though. Anyone from australia order one of these guys yet?"

    When the G spot is reached the LED will flash green immediately, hold firmly and tighten the screw.

    ah, you kids. Back in my day we had to find the G spot manually... and we were lucky if we got an audible alert.

      Excellent! I've been trying to justify an XBox or PS2 to my wife for quite awhile now, I'm sure the above info will gain me immediate approval.

    You don't need a chip at all!

    -1 Flamebait (Microsoft just knew we would all bite!)
    +1 Interesting (modding xbox is fun to do, fun to do, fun to do!)
    -1 Redundant (already got the PS2, why get an XBox?)

    Hey, moderators! Mod the XBox!

    they want us to think that they are losing money on it so that we buy it to "undermine their economic situation".

    It's proof yet of ANOTHER honey-pot for hackers!
