Theres a website called craigslist (might only be american) where people buy and sell things and advertise their services. People advertise modding xbox 360s for about $50 USD which converts to about 36 euros. So my best guess would be around there.
And by the way, you say your 'downstairs' xbox, do you have different xboxs for different parts of the house?

[Oleh]

Its called "flashed" and it depends on who you trust and find
it cost me £60 but only because i trusted this guy, it was either £20 and face having someone who used to steal cars handle my box or £60 someone whose at the market every thursday
Just any burner what can burn Dual-layer at 2x
Use Verbatim Dual-Layers - They are 100% going to work they are costly but are worth it

I dont use my flashed box to play online and i only had 4 games - 3 of them i own 1 of them i dont but i dont use it

I searched craiglist found nothing rly.
well i have one xbox downstairs one upstairs, due to the fact i bought a xbox the day it came out in UK and its not exactly amazing, so in November i bought another xbox for upstairs :)

Right, thanks il find that out. i know i can get my games from demonoid how big do the disks have to be and what type tho like dvd rom?

[PaulMacC]

10-20GB

[Robbie]

I flashed my own, it's easy.

Dual Layer Verbatim Disks
You need a Dual Layer DVD Burner
A game is 7-8gb.

[eight]

about 10 gb

[Robbie]

No. They are between 6-8gb and the disk holds 8.5gb

[GoldenMerc]

How did you flash it yourself Robbie, also how much do you pay per disk then about £4?

I had mine chipped a few years ago, but went online for a year, then got banned (xbox only). sold it for a brand new xbox. cost me £50 to chip.

craigslist isn't that good for UK.

i would get it flashed though, I used to buy games for £5, so if you wanna play games that normally cost £35, well worth it.

Ross

There's some tutorials on Google, depends on which drive you have, and I get 10 disks for £9.99.

[GoldenMerc]

i have the samsung one, also is there a way i can do it without having to take the drive out of the xbox and flash it through the xbox?

Nope. you need to connect the Drive to a PC with a SATA Port, OR a USB > Sata Connector.. Then you flash the firmware.

[GoldenMerc]

USB to sata connector, ooh that sounds right. I dont have a SATA drive though does that matter ?

He's just said you need one or a SATA connector, so yes it does matter.

[Robbie]

USB to SATA only works on a Hitachi drive, and the SATA card you get has to be VIA VT6421 or VT6421A (you can get PCI ones off eBay)

[GoldenMerc]

Hmm, well im hopefully getting a new computer within the next month so il try include that in the buying of the components

new computer to d/l gay porn again ross, jesus >.<

and flashin an xbox is easy and if your careful not to get to omany games at once it doesnt look suspicious :)

[Robbie]

Rubbish. It can't look suspicious unless you get a bad rip with a bad SS.bin rip, DMI or PFI. Possibly AnyDVD corruption aswell, but abgx checks for that anyway.

Hell, get 9999999 games in a day if you want, as long as they're all verified, LIVE just sees it as a regular disk.

[Tintinnabulate]

It cost me £30 but you can get it done for £15 now.
You need a DVD+R DL Burner and Verbatim (those are the best ones, believe me) Double Layer discs. You can get them for £1 each. I have made no coasters using them while with cheap companies I have about 25 coasters.

[GoldenMerc]

where can you get it done for £15??

[Tintinnabulate]

Salford, Manchester. Cambridge Industrial state to be precise. Walk in there and you cant miss the stop with huge XBOX 360 posters on their window.

Copies games for £1.20 each including delivery (H)

[GoldenMerc]

oo £1.20 a game damn thats cheap !

[Tintinnabulate]

I just bought 10 for £12 =]


X-Men Origins - Wolvering (Uncaged Edition)
Prince of Persia
Hitman - Blood Money
Far Cry 2
Splinter Cell - Double Agent
Halo 3
Need for Speed Undercover
Fuel
Call of Duty 5
Burnout Paradise

And burnt GTA, Hitman: Blood Money, NFS: Carbon, Street Fighter 4 myself.

And Sega Ultimate Collection LOL. Classic.

[GoldenMerc]

uhm, im guessing they dont have a online store?

[Tintinnabulate]

Pay me £30 and I will give you 20 games :P

[GoldenMerc]

dont want 20 games :( i can only think of a few new games i want xD
but when i have money i might order some thru you xoxoxoox
