Ah I was thinking meh 150ish probably worth the cash if you got it, so whats the total about 500ish USD? I guess a chip or refined hack is worth 30% of the normal price,plus your getting a a jasper unit off the bat thats worth 50 at least right there its alil step about 100-200 more than what I would pay if I had 600 to blow but frankly its not that bad.... going to try and save up 500 try and get a shiped unit this year.....er...next year that or a chiped WII the PS3 dose not interest me that much yet and at least the 360 has some form of mouse/KB adapter...

In USA dollars with our sickly exchange rate at the mo it would be 1/2 price,don't that just make ya wanna throw a wobbly,no it's a bloody falcon mobo,we have'nt got any jaspers here yet,i asked them that before i ordered it,i could've waited a bit longer a got a jasper & waited a bit more till the price dropped further,but the 360's been call'n me since it first appeared on the market,i just could'nt take it any longer,it is overpriced no doubt about it even with any labour added to fit the flashed drive etc,if i'm not mistaken they've added an xtra $100 dollars for the dvd drive & they're keeping the original..lol..bastards
Just recieved an order change email,it'll be sent tommorrow so comming from New Plymouth to Auckland should take two days,too late to cancel order now..lol..

Aw yeah seeing the trouble people get themselves into just to save a few bucks & end up stuffing it up...lol..i have to admit tho i would prefer a modchip, i'm not sure if these flashed boxes are gonna be reliable or not as i've never had a flashed unit of any sort(had to be careful of my wording there *mutley laugh*),i just recently bought two xbox 1's as backups to my other two modded ones & was going to have a go at flashing,however the more i read up on it on how to go about it, the more it gives me the shits so i'm going hardmod road instead at least i know it'll be reliable
I'm self employed domestic/commercial lawnmowing contractor so right now we're in spring,if i'm going to spend money it needs to be before xmas ,coz afterwards i need to replenish the accounts to get me thru winter when work tends to drop off,although here in Auckland the rainy season is'nt that bad so in that respect we're quite lucky compared to some other parts of NZ which are low lying or any other parts of the world where flooding is the norm
