modding xbox 360's: good or bad idea

[speedhed4]

so my brother was asking me if i wanted the xbox 360 i have modded i said no because therers still warranty and that would ruin it also what if the modders got caught i wouldnt want my live id to banned or suspended so i raise this question modding my 360 good or bad idea

 

[FallenRainbows]

Bad, found out banned, and locked if they still do that.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I think it's a bad idea. You really do not want to void your warranty when it comes to an Xbox 360 and getting banned is not fun.

 

[speedhed4]

yeah i have to agree i rather 60 bucks for games so microsoft and developers for games like gears of war and other games can make things i like instead of taking away there money

 

[APPCRASH]

I'm all up for modding, but when it comes to xbox360 I recommend just stepping away. The whole banning thing is kind of whacked, yo.

 

[speedhed4]

i only have 360 but i understand for other consoles cause they in my opinion they don't care so for ps3 and wii im fine if someone mods those but 360 its too dangerous

Here's the deal with modding:
If you don't know exactly what you're doing, don't do it.
If you disapprove of illegal actions, don't do it.
If you're doing it for personal gain, don't do it.

Modding is usually just for fun (see: Counter Strike). Anything else can be taken to the court.

 

[Crimsane]

Terrible idea, especially given the recent statistic on failure rates.

 

[speedhed4]

no im not doing anything for modding my brother wanted to id rather pay for games instead of blindly robbing companys

The way I've always done console mods is to have two. One unmodded and one modded, usually bought second hand because I'd be voiding the warranty.


I have to ask, what are you modding it for? Back in the day my moddeds were used for weird and wonderful imports, usually in languages I had no hope of understanding, but that's less common nowadays. The last modded console I had was an Xbox, on which I played some weird shit.

For a 360 to play imports you would need to mod it, but I wouldn't know how. Don't mod it if you intend to pirate games (in fact, don't pirate the games), you'll just end up having a careless moment and getting your XBL banned.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Bad idea. Let your brother get his own 360 to fuck up

 

[Casual Shinji]

Don't be greedy. It'll bite you in the ass later on.

i don't want to mod because i only have one 360 and it has live so over all to me its a bad idea

I've modded my 360 myself three years ago. I buy games and I download them too. I pay for the good games that I think are worth it and don't for the rubbish. I don't have perminent live account but delve in when I fancy it with month long subscriptions. I've never been banned and I've had no problems. I'm all for supporting the developers but there's a lot of shit out there too. Don't get me wrong I got a 360 because I knew they'd be a large game base to pick and choose from.

i just get games that appeal to what i play shooters basiclly so i don't want to cheat epic, bungie or infinity ward to name a few out of well deserved money so thats why im against it

How about modding to be able to play imported games exclusive in a different region?

Get a PS3 instead, which has region free games and a new 299$ price tag.

I'm still on the fence about buying it. It's probably going to be £299, which is still around $500.

The fact the console naturally has no region lockout may make it worth importing it, though.

Naaaah. It doesn't make that much of a difference anyway.
