Hello all,
First and formost I would like to thank everyone who helped me with my first mod of my 2nd xbox. I tried the first time and failed. I like many others spent countless hours getting the run around from other sites and people who just wanted to be jerks. With the quick help from all the people here i was able to find my mistakes and fix them . Not only did i get quick answers but found may tutorials on things I didnt understand. I have no problem paying the donation to the site, because without the site I would probably have 2 busted Xboxes. So it is like the old saying goes you get what you pay for and here at this site you get more than what you pay for. Well once again thanks to all that helped me and if you get one thing from this site, take it as a freebee or lets say a gift of more things to come and make a donation if you are going to continue to use the site. Well good luck to all in your modding adventures.
whats up all,just wanted to say to anyone looking to join,that this is the NUMBER 1 SITE for all-in-one resources for someone looking to mod an xbox or even has one,just join,whats to lose?NOTHING,once you joined , you'll want to send them more money for what a great site it is.Like i said,if you havent join,DO IT!!!so thats my 2cents on joining this insane site.
p.s.-RM my controller ports,etc might be there in a week,might have to wait to get paid,lol _________________ Xbox Version 1.0

hey
what to say .....
without xbox-hq my xbox would suck. After endless searching for apps, bios, and help the only place that actually returned something for nothing is xbox-hq. If your a newb into the xbox scene ( no pun intended) this is the only place to be. Get a VIP membership and youll never want to go back.

Hiya
I only signed up for the VIP membership 2 days ago, to be honest I was a bit material and only signed up for access tomore files etc, but have been very pleasntly suprised, i have known about the site for ages and never paid it any attention and signed up on a whim.
I have officially migrated from another *ahem* well known xbox site, and was just a bit tired of all the flaming, I could never find what I wanted by searching and no-one was ever any help, on here tho soon as I posted in the vip section about bit torrents I was given a great site for um... all my needs.
I plan to stay here now and contribute as much as I can, I have been modding boxes for a fair while now and still get stuck, everyone does. I run it as a business and Feel that I know a fair bit, but I know I can post on here and get 2nd opinions etc without being flamed for it.
I would definetly sign up if I were you, it has a real community feeling here unlike other websites and it had a lot of potential.
I like trying to help people out (makes me feel good about myself, he he), but I also like being helped out myself too, here I can have both.
Signing up fro VIP membership is one thing I don't think I will regret.
Hope to see more of you soon in the vip forum etc.

Xbox-Hq.com is the best source around for Xbox modding. Within a few hours I went from having an empty console with a fresh chip in it to a high-powered gaming machine containing everything from old school game emulators to a highly customizable media center... and it was all thanks to the people of Xbox-Hq.com.
VIP Membership is the best money I've spent all year. Thanks for everything, guys.

First a big thanks to those who run xbhq. By far this is the best resource for the XBox mod community. From what I have learned in my short time here I have modded 8 Xboxes all successfully. This ranges from chips , larger hdd, dvd replacements and case mods. I just completed adding an xLCD to my X3 modded box. It is sweet.. but now I want a crystal case and a bunch of leds... Time to light it up for the hiolidays. What I am trying to say here is that the $10/$40 is nothing comared to what I have learned and will be going lifetime VIP as soon as I return from California.
Again... VIP membership is more that worth it. Thanks XBHQ!! _________________ GTGene

I don't like groups or forums. I found I could do most of it with less frustration if I just read a lot and didn't involve people with knowledge and no patience. Surfing for an answer found this site. Reading some of the forums, I decided to do the ol' 1 yr thing. Since then, I am on this site daily and not only getting help but giving it. Unheard of. This site has changed my attitude about mods sites, hackers of Xboxes and myself in general. I really enjoy the place, the people and the moderaters (even if they are from down under ). I had my 1 year membership less than a month and upgraded to lifetime. Said it in other posts and I will say it again... THIS SITE ROCKS! _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

After stagering around in the dark for a year or so looking on various other forum's and news groups, always getting the same answer or no answers at all, i stumbled upon this place. It not only had a great public section full of most, if not all, of the information i wanted but it seemed to have a knowledgable crew and userbase. So i lurked for a few day's, read as much as i could, and eventually paid what, i think, is an extremely good value for money yearly subscription. The V.I.P. Support feature is worth that subscription fee alone. Thanks for all the hard work, I'm an admin on a forum myself and know just how stressfull these places can be!

Okay everyone here is the deal
i am currently a soldier of the u.s. army stationed in iraq and i tell you from experience that moding xboxs or anything else for that matter is an extremely difficult process especially considering that internet access is few and far between. However on one of these few web excursions of mine i came across this site and thought wow theres alot of good stuff here. so i went vip thinking it was too good to be true, but lo and behold it is true and i have to say its the best 40 dollars ive spent in a very long time. You get much more than is actually advertised as well as more than on any other site and the admin are the most helpful that i ve ever seen. so if your having doubts about joining go ahead and do it you will be most pleasantly suprised.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!

Hi guys,
Great comments.. All the admins definately enjoy your feedback and it will also help other new members on our site decide where or not to join as a vip..
As im sure most of you know we are not hear to try and make money.
We are just covering our hosting costs as it is and especially lately with the release of our autoinstallers etc etc.. Hopefully it wont be long and we site will be able to afford to get some custom jewels for its VIP MEMBERS and also some T-SHIRTs.. I think that would be cool to walk down the street and bump into another xboxhq member.. heheh loll..
Our memberbase has exploded and the new arrivals i must say are great.
Welcome to all the new VIP's who left their feedback too.. We only accept members who provide a real email address so we know for sure that each of our users are real!
