Is it wise to buy an chipped XBOX 360 second hand?

If they are banned, does it only affect the online stuff? ie do games work completely properly offline?

Also do you need the latest version of the modding to get games to work? Is an older modded console going to be compatible

also what sort of price is good

Cheers

Can you clarify your question please?

Is it chipped (infectus / cynosis) or is the firmware flashed to allow you to play copies?

Basically you want a 360 to be a jasper/ liteon ----> flashed with lite 1.1.


Your best bet would be to buy a new arcade 360 off amazon for 149$ shipped(comes with a 50$ gift card as well) and find someone to flash it for you... Walmart and target have similar deals going on right now....

I'd like to play copies

and maybe put games on the hard drive to rule out drive noise. A guy PMed me about mentioning Homebrew is the thing to get games on a hard drive.

today's turning into one of those 'learning curve days' :) :) :)
