Well anywho... I was surfing on craigslist.com and found this guy who flashes the firmware on 360's for $50... I haggled down to $35 and now im having second thoughts about going and getting it done... I keep freaking out that flashing the firmware is illegal and what if the dude turns out to be like a cop or like a fbi agent or something and the second i walk in they screw me over.... lol I dunno im having butterflies.... help me ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut afterdawn people!

I seriously doubt the FBI would bother setting up sting operations against XBOX owners, and isn't that entrapment if they advertise it?

I suppose don't mention the exact thing you want done when you meet the guy....so they have little evidence against you if it is some kind of cop...

criags list was shut down a few weeks ago by the fbi, watch it. they mightve re opened it but i dont think they would try a sting,its noth really their stlye, they dont know what kinda customers that guy has so they wouldnt know what they were dealing with. the reason i know this is because i tried to visit it not long ago and it came up with the blue fbi pic with the crest n stuff on it. and it said it was being investigated and gave a link to the website. im outta breath now lol.

Do you have the Hitachi or Samsung drive? I'd rather flash it myself. I can walk you through a hitachi drive flash quite cheaper than sending your 360 off to someone unknown to you.
