Can someone end an argument of mine, is upgarding the dashboard on an xbox illegal, personally i dont think it is, as its my property and so i can do what i like with, i feel the only illegal bit is the copied games, my firends thinks otherwise, he says that the dashboard is microsofts property and so cant be legally tampered with, can anyone help shut my mate up?

Its like buying a computer you can put whatever software you want on it and dell or hp or compaq wont come after you as long as they got there money for it. I say lets not worry about it as long as you pay for your games micrsoft will leave you alone

if you look at like you would a computer, you dont have to put windows on your computer there are serveral other operating systems, so why would putting a different dashboard on be illegal? you are not altering the m$ dashboard in any way

Think of it this way, Ms Dash is microsoft's work. Other dashboards that run off linux like X-DSL and othe rdashboards are legal since ther were made with linux not M$ files or distributions of it. As long as none of the makers of dashboards are using their files and stuff, then it is ok and you won't get in trouble. The only legal issues are the games and bios flashed onto a chip. That is the only really bad issues. Changing your dash is not illegal. It only voids your warranty.
