i mean is it really wroth it? i found a really cheep one on craigslist only $150. i dont play games anymore and i never own a 360 before i was thinking about buying it and hacking it just so i can say that i know how to do it. i dont know much about the xbox 360 but i been hacking electronic for awhile now; cable box, game systems, phones, etc. i did some research about hacking a 360, and this is why i dont think it's worth buying it

there's no way to load back ups from an external hard drive. (edited by ddp disappointing)
you gotta buy a cretin type of dvd-r in order to play back ups
you still gotta pay for xbox live
there isn't a lot of fast downloading 360 torrents out there.

am i right? or there's a way to load back ups from a hard drive. even if i dont play games i still want the games my little brother can play them.

is it really worth $150 just to test my skills. (not to be cocky)

Why make 2 threads on the same subject? You're walking on a fine line of piracy talk when you talk about downloading 360 torrents.

and you are completely wrong. you can run games from an external drive. research about jtagable consoles. and you can DL a game in under 2 hours. there is an alternative to LIVE, once again, research jtagged xbox 360s.

if your research is anything like your 'hacking' skills, i highly doubt you could do anything to a xbox.

Come talk with us on efnet at #elitemods !!! or just click ME

If your hacking skill are that good, hack it yourself from scratch. as in firmware and all. if you?re just going to follow online tutorials then that?s not much of a challenge.

Basically. Not to be cocky or anything but I've hacked a PS1, Xbox, PS2 slim, DS, Wii, iPhone, iPad, 360 and the PS3 slim. I hacked the 360 a few weeks after the very involved first tutorials appeared in late 2006. I also successfully Jtagged a 360 6 months ago. I did all this by using tutorials so I am no where near close to a "hacker".......just know how to research and follow directions, which is pretty much all it takes. Heck, now u got video hack tutorials all over YouTube which makes it that much easier.

Test your skills by hacking from scratch without using tutorials or hack programs like Jungle Flasher.

sorry lil_209, but you just got pwned

also raysuave, there is a little bit of modesty in your post, to the outside world your a hacker, but to not call yourself a hacker shows intelligence and for that sir I commend you.

I don't know about that... lol. For me I just like to learn new things, so I like to modify x box 360's and PS3's and phones etc. If you want a challenge buy a RROD xbox 360 fix it, mod it and sell it, if you successfully do it am sure you can make a profit since there going pretty cheap on ebay
