Hi. Following various talk on various forums, I was wondering what anyone's take was on the following item being sold on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8261349997&r...

Looks like complete fraud to me.

I wouldn't trust that. Although the guy has a 100% feedback rating, he has only been around for a month. Everything about this deal looks shady to me.

You should, however, order the CD, then let me know if it works once you get it.

Looks like BS to me. Let's say he really did have a boot disc. MS would be all over him like white on rice for selling them on eBay. Hell, I got grief just for trying to sell a modded Xbox with no games on there. He seems to have been selling those GBA multi-carts so who knows. It would be so cool if he was legit.

...and ya know what?? If it wasn't for you people "modding" your Xboxes, these games probably wouldn't be selling for $60 per title. Way to go.

But since you guys have already ruined it for the rest of us, please keep me informed as to when and where I can find one of these mod chips for the 360.

Don't be a hypocrite. Pay $60 game and never play a copied game!

Sounds like a plan. Maybe you can loan me about $400, so I can rush out and buy NBA, Madden, COD, Blazing Angels, BF2, and Fight Night...

And besides...its never "admit" that you copy games in a public forum!

Be warned that Madden 06 is far from good if your a Madden Fan. Built from the ground up it's missing loads. You'd be better buying Madden 05 or 06 on the xbox, but neither are currently backwards compatable.

Check our video reviews at: http://www.gamespot.com

p.s I don't think there are any individuals on this forum who copy games. This forum is just for avid game players who like to discuss the current topical issues surrounding our hobby :-). Although backing up games might be nice for those individuals on this forum who post about scratching their original disks.

We all know most people on any site dealing with modding are playing copied games that they don't own originals for although few would come out and say it like that. So it's not cool pointing fingers. Ebay is your friend when it comes to a console with $60 games. I paid about $290 for eight 360 and Kameo is the only non $60 I own. It's all about finding deals. I also have Madden and as disappointing as it is I played the heck out of it.

Or it's all about living in the UK and getting them dirt cheap from all the various second hand shops, although I thought all you guys and gals in the US got things cheaper. I'm always gutted to see the bargains the US has when I'm over. I used to work for a game retailer....I would never copy a game (It's outright theft), but it is nice to know what's going on in the world of games.

Comments about $60 is a little disjointed. The reason they charge so much is becuase they can and they want to. Games have always been that way. I remember paying £70 for Street Fighter on th Megadrive, in other words $130 on the genesis.

If the console would quit scratching my discs I wouldn't jave to back them up. I'm fed up with having to buy 2 or 3 copies of games cause a disc can't last more than 3 weeks.

Yup, 100% scam. Most probably just gay porn.

Stop moving the console while it's on. I've owned several games since 12/2005, not a single scratch so far. And if you're stupid enough to buy 3 copies of the same game, then go ahead ^_^

TOTAL BS!!!!!!! You cant get backup 360 games because all 360 games are sealed!!! In order to access them, you must have a code that is only given to devolpers. 100% SCAM!!!

and to add on, dont change your 360s posistion while playing. that scratches disks!!! see if your tray has a residue on it. if so, wipe it off

PS3 Games are gonna cost a lot!!! launch games will cost $65-$80!! blank Blu-ray discs alone currently cost $10-$20 a pop!

I GOT A 360!!!!!

I don't move the console, with games in or not. It has a secure spot it doesn't move from. I made a little fix, but I don't know the names of the parts inside well enough to accurately describe what I did. It involved raising the disc about a millimeter so it's not hitting the laser. I hope that's "all" it was.
No, I'm not stupid enough to buy the same game three times. No game on earth I like that much.

Yeah. I agree. I emailed the member and told them it was rubbish and said they should remove it. I also sent them a link to the thread and they removed the item from ebay.

p.s can i just say how rubbish ebay are with NO monitoring system to keep an eye on all the frualant ebay activity, and all the people currently getting down over for money, and not recieving any goods.

This is way old. Ebay hold no items more than 4 months. I miss being able to sell modded console on there.
