I wasn't going to comment on the modding of the console, I'm sorry but flashing a drive is not modding. I'm not stupid when it comes to hardware and computers but to me the thought of the constant battle with M$ checking for a mod is far to much of a hassle, something new is released to bypass the latest checks that you have to find the right thing for your drive and then you need to take your console apart and reflash to avoid bannings etc.(that was me trying to sound stupid). Then you find out the games you've 'bought' or d/l don't work because it's not compatible with that firmware, seriously I'd rather just buy the game. If your clever you can pick up most games far less than the retail, playasia is a perfect example. I picked up a second hand Hitman bloodmoney for a £5, less than your average joe on the street would sell it for. if it works at all.
