You dont have to buy anything to softmod. Do a hard drive hot swap.

I know of this way of doing it. However I bought the Xbox used recently from Gamestation and you get a year warranty with it so I do not wish to open it up at the moment.  

The softmod way is reversible and untraceable and I just want to stream media off a network share and play backed up games.  When the warranty is up will open it up and put a nice big HDD in.

So does anyone have the mentioned items for sale ?

I am as we speak in the middle of softmodding my box by hotswapping, will let you know how it turns out

Got all the files I need.  And it worked like a charm.  Backed up my eprom now and on the weekend will be chucking a 80gig hdd in.

Im so happy  :-D

All I have done is copied a differnet dashboard to the HDD of the xbox.  There is no illegal sooftware on there.  I did not want to do this to play copied games, but so I could use it as a media centre and enable 1080i on the xbox which you can not do with m$ dashboard.

There were no mod chips used.  You basically just wait for the microsoft logo to appear and remove the data cable from the HDD and then the drive in unlocked.  You connect it to your pc and the use a FATX program to copy stuff to the hdd.

Once this is done you put the drive back in the xbox and switch it off.  Hey presto mediacentre xbox. Can even ftp to it now through the network connectio.

If discussing any of this is against the TOS and posting guidlines please feel free to moderate me.  I think however that I am on safe ground.
