I received my Xbox as a present for Christmas. To be honest, I have never been a fan of Xbox, I even considered returning it. It turns out, that was just my ignorance. One week later, I'm playing the crap out of ROMS and loving my Xbox.
Becoming a VIP was a no brainer for me. IMO: the Auto-Installer Deluxe is worth the $40 memebership fee. I soon discovered a membership gets you a WHOLE LOT more.
Thanks for all the great tutorials and awesome collection of software. _________________ Xbox Version 1.6

I am very pleased with my decision to join xbox-hq and not some other site that just misleads you with half ass info and members that make a living out of flaming noobs when they ask a question!! I thought this site was to good to be true and boy was i wrong!! I just modded my first xbox thanks to this site, I've received great support from other members in solving issues with my xbox, The apps and the autoinstaller i've gotten here are totally awesome, the site is setup excellent making it easy to search for whatever your looking for, and last but not least it's all about the good folks in here that makes this site numero uno, top dog, there's only 1 xbox-hq and i'm glad to be a part of it.

Softmodding sounds harder than it is,
I found it very easy to do once i'd
read up on what steps to take and
what i was going to see happening
on the screen.
was reading about the dashboard
exploit last night and that involves
hot swapping your hdd to get the exploit to work., stick to the
splinter cell exploit! i still can't
get over how quick it is. I now have
a collection of memory cards that
have the exploits on them.
sign up to become a VIP member and
reap the benifits like the FTP servers and other p2p file sharring
schemes some of the vip members
get involved in.

hi guys (ooops and gals),
Thanks for all the sweet comments.. All admins appreciate seeing the thankyou's for dedicating their spare time to helping you all and enhancing the site.
Keep those VIP Testimonials rollin' in.. I really want our new members to see what we are made of. 1st Class, Top Shelf.. hehe lol
I first joined this site back in October and like everyone else has posted, it has been the best 10 dollars I have ever spent. To be completely honest i was only interested in the software that i could download but the more i saw the sense of community that was hapening here i kept coming back.
Everyone has allways been willing to help (even when my questions were kind of off the wall or strange) and I allways get a response. So I started reading the forums everyday trying to help people because I have been helped so much.
Not only has this site helped me mod my xbox but every day it gives me new ideas on different mods and different setups I want to try. When I started my box mod i haven't stopped and i'm still on the same machine. I have it opened almost every day and my list of mods and parts keeps growing. If I would of started my box mod without this site it would be a paper weight right now, I'm sure of it.
If your thinking of signing up for your VIP membership just remember this site isn't just informative it's just plain fun and interesting. If you like to tinker and solve problems then you will be in good company.
[the site rocks]

If you look up the word Newbie you will probably see my picture ( although I hope you don't ). When I first started to mod my xbox, i tried MANY other sites and like others have said before me they are just rude. If you knew what you were lookin for then you would alraedy know where the "usual places" are.
My first time here I mostly just check out the replies and was impressed as to how people were actually being helped and not push off to gotowheremostpeoplego.com. They were walked through, step by step how to finish what they started. You're NOT going to find that anywhere else.
After my 1st post, I was even more impressed when told that I could find the AID right here, and told where to look. Was the membership worth it ? You bet your a$$ it was. Don't waste, and believe me you will waste your money at other sites that will eventually lead you right here.
I leave you with this : " Every question has an answer. And that answer is at Xbox-hq". You will not regret it. _________________

there are many reasons quiting a life in videogames would be a healthy move though i wouldnt trade playing mario-kart with my bro (snes), or bond for 64 for anything. when my grandpa bought me super mario bros 3 for nes, the day it came out, it made my life. i got a memory worth sh*t but ill never forget that.
now im 25 and like doing many other things. im at a point were playing halo2 just isnt enouph. i cant just plug into a tv for 4hrs and feel good about it. i need to be productive. as a turntablist and a photographer, i love manipulating things to look or sound different. meshing media together and diferent tastes lends to the liberation of normality. it broadens our tastes and eliminates our conditioning to be stuck in genres. so having a back ground in music and video games and wanting to do more than just play with them has inspired me to get more involved.
i needed help. it was a more involved procces than i thought it would be. these guys and all there loyal members were everything i needed to not onely get control over my xbox but to pimp the crap out of it. i was not confident with computers at all and i needed help beyond that witch a normal modder might. the forums helped greatly. but there came a time were i couldnt wate patiently anymore. i needed to get things going or my brain would fall off. so i tried the vip support tickets. these guys know what there doing. cause when i had no idea what i was talking about they some how did and gave me all the attention i needed and fast. thanx to these guys i have a fuilly working xbox not a pile of circuits and plastic with a hammer sticking out of it. this is a great group of people here. they give a shit. the down loads- forget it, there all here. every thing you need. no more scetchy downloads from limewire and random sites. thanx for doing it guys you have built a smart buisness and a great community. thanx too for getting me motivated to pick up a new direction in my own stuff. im trying to learn how to really use computers and i want to contribute to the gaming evolution. it is a real security to have you guys and all your guests here to asist me. thanx again and keep up the good work!

Nah, Ive had my fun with him. It takes allot from most guys to say "sorry, please stop", I know this, and many other guys know this is true. If a person wants to be humble before a large group of people then he deserves a little slack.
I would also like to mention Im no crazy evangelist, I cant remember the last time I went to church. Just most of my self set standards come from religon (mainly catholic).
So basically, just becaue I dont want to mess with him dosent mean I will think less of you for wanting to so have yourself a blast!
I just made the ronnie-PWNED sig more-or-less for the amusement of my fellow HQ mates. _________________ -Scourge "Rx = +/_\"
