Read this for a start...

Basically it boils down to this, what do you plan to do with your Xbox?

If you are modding it to play pirated games, then yes, I'd say it's illegal.

If you are using it for media centre purposes etc, which will be in no way affiliated with pirated media, then it should all be fine!

Microsoft don't care about individual users and what they do with their consoles anymore!

If you start selling pirated games etc, then they will have a problem with you!

Mod up and have fun!

Softmods are easy and reversable!

Technically its not illegal since near my area there is mod shop for xbox's PS2's and other console and the cops don't do anything about.

Like they said, if you plan to use pirated media on your xbox its illegal.

If you own the media, its legal.
