what's the point in flashing your 360?
Aside from the fact you can download just about any game you want, and basically get games for 30p, dependent on what brand of disk you use. Nothing really.
DVD DL + R Disks arnt 30p lol?Quote:

It's your choice, if you want your disks to last, and have no corrupt backups buy Verbatim disks, there on special @ play.com at the moment:

10 for 10, which is an incredible price + free delivery.
the only perk with flashing your xbox 360 is being able to play backup'd games.
Warning
Some drives are hard to flash, and can be bricked which renders them useless, and if you dont have a backup of the dvd key, your xbox is useless.
There is also a chance of getting banned from xbox live, if they detect that your running a backup'd game.
My Arita disks have a lifespan of around say.. 8 months before they burn out? I don't have a problem with that. I don't see the point in paying buckets of money for Verbs, when i know i won't play every game i download as much as the likes of, COD, FIFA, Halo etc. I'm happy with Aritas. :)

In my opinion, it's well worth 1£ a game, when your saving 50 odd on not buying the game

Well, i have been using this method for almost 2 years, and i've survived potential bannings. :)Quote:

I did infact get my facts mixed up between buying good quality disks and using agbx360.Quote:

my main point was, if you buy verbatim's, your guarenteed for them to last, if you buy cheaper ones they just wear out after a while and sometimes you get a runner when trying to burn to them.
your aggravated reply was because I sent you a PM earlier which you could not reply to
