Flashing My 360


I am considering on getting my xbox 360 firmware flashed, so that I can play backups of games that I already own.

What do you guys think about getting the 360 flashed? Have any of you had their 360 flashed?

My friend had a chipped xbox (first one) and he could rent games, then store them on his harddrive.
I didn't know that you could get the 360 chipped. Or are chipped and flashed different?

Re: Flashing My 360


Won't it void your warranty?

With the high possibility of your xbox developing the 3 red lights at some point in it's lifespan, i wouldn't bother.

Since you already own the games anyway :P

Plus if you get caught out you're console will be blacklisted from xbox live, meaning you'll need to get a new console to go online.

Yeah, there are chips for 360 or you can flash it. Chips are basically chips which you put in your 360 and flashing is when you alter the DVD drives firmware to trick the Xbox into thinking a DVD+R is a xbox 360 disc.
