See it's the stupid that make our hobby illlegal. Those dildoes most likely didn't even do the modding themselves but had bought them off some other dude then sold them at the store. Super Xbox... that's funny _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Recent updates to the Xbox Live service, made just before last Tuesday's release of "Halo 2" was set to touch off a huge surge in Xbox Live subscriptions, appear to go much further, however. The service now apparently checks the console's hard drive and boots any machine with storage different than the 8GB or 10GB hard drive originally supplied with the console. Hard drive upgrades are one of the most common hacks for the Xbox, allowing it to serve as a digital media jukebox.

Ah so that's what the trigger is. So obtain a switch to go between a large hard drive and the original and there's your bypass? _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Anyone that is bold enough to put games on a HD and advertise it in a retail location WITHOUT giving the originals has got to be, well, I don't want to insult anyone...but one IQ point below RAINMAN!
