    Your post isn't insightful, since it only takes a quick glance at the cellphone market in Japan, Europe and the USA to conclude that the model used in Japan and Europe is, in all ways imaginable, better.


    No predictions - it's a fact.


    Yes I work in the cellphone industry.

    He said the did changes to the BIOS (cheap). Yes - and they also made changes to the MCPX (expensive), made by nVidia, causing nVida to dump a lot of chips already made (this caused nVidias financial result to shrink a lot, and was taken up as an issue in their report). That's something you DON'T do "just like that".


    You could equally well say that the whole point of the v1.1 Xbox was to get rid of the modchips, and that the integration of the USB daughtercard was an additional benefit.

    Maybe you can buy a PC for $150, but outside the US the situation is different. The Xbox is a very cheap PC for me in Sweden, and there's definitely a good argument for me buying an Xbox, rf-keyboard/mouse and a 120Gb Xbox and hack away in my living room ..

    Yes, they sold the X-ecuter which contains a hacked copy of the Microsoft BIOS. However, the article talks about Lik-Sang manufacturing modchips, and that modchip came empty when you ordered it - you had to find a suitable BIOS (hacked MS or Linux) yourself.
