K, I plan on buying a 360, and I was wondering if their is something I should look for when determining what 360 is the best system to mod.

I have not owned a 360 before, but I want to buy one now just so I can mod it and not go on xbox live.

like buy a arcade version or something? Cause black friday is coming up and their is bound to be some cheap 360's out their, new models and stuff

so any suggestions, or all xbox's fair game ?

all you really need to watch out for is the manufacturing date. if its anything newer than sep 09 you cannot mod the drive as of yet. there are some aug boxes that also contain the unmoddable drives.

Is the manufacturing date listed on the box or do you have to buy and open the xbox before you do that.

any xbox is fair, and you should go on ebay and buy a banned console if you don't plan to use it online. These usually go for much cheaper than their ubanned counterparts

Is there a list somewhere that contains the manufacture dates in August to stay away from?

I just purchased 2 XBOX 360 Arcades that were manufactured August 23rd of 2009. They contained July 2009 83850C Lite-ONs that were able to have the DVDkey dumped.

Get a used one. They are all mostly good to mod, and it will save you money. The new Lite-Ons are unmoddable right now.

I was thinking of buying used ones, but I always here stories of RROD and stuff and all the crap that goes on with 360's so if I buy it used I could get screwed.

thats why i am more inclined to buying a new one,

and usually it seems, that people sell 360's with out the wires.. :/, no power adapter or cables.

I also read something about wave 2 and 3 and 4, kinda got my head in the sky because of it
