I've modified my original xbox with no problems,but the new 360 I'm kind of skeptical. Here is my issue--I just purchased a new 360 Pro and my friend keeps telling me to modify it. His is already modded. I have the new falcon board w/175 power supply. My question is,if I modded my 360 what are the chances of me getting the RROD as I already know if something goes wrong in a week,month or whenever I can not send it to Microsoft for repairs. This is an expensive gamble I am willing to take only if the end justifies the means. Any advice?

Keep the warranty sticker. I've melted th adhesive off carefully with a blow dryer.

once you flash your drive and sign onto LIVE, it's only a matter of time before the ban hammer drops. weeks or months.

if you want to stay on LIVE, don't flash the drive and use originals. don't even open the system. once you're banned, the system will have no access to LIVE, whatsoever. silver is also banned.

Weeks or months, but if you use direct rips and do it all right, years+

He's not asking about Live though.

There is no correlation between modding it and chances of RROD.

The difference is, if you mod it, you need to pay $30 for another sticker, if you don't mod it, the repair is free. I'd say it's worth it.

Or just keep the sticker instead of blowing $30
