Short answer: If a game updates the firmware of your chipped/flashed/pirate XBOX, you'll get a nice error upon restarting the console. The error means your XBOX will be pretty much bricked. I saw this happen to a friend of mine. He had a "modified" XBOX, popped Forza 2 into the tray, it performed a firmware update et viola! No more XBOX...

I understand your dillema, your toilet is not big enough for that thing.

But the Wii goes right down.

XBOX mods update the firmware on the DVD drive only. You can still safely do XBOX firmware updates which updates the firmware on the motherboard, not the DVD drive.

It it possible that once you have a modded console you can be banned from certain games. I've seen guys with modded consoles running for a while though and nothing happens. Game updates work, firmware updates work and they can play online. It is a hit and miss afair though. But if you are going to pirate then just don't play online.

Nice to see piracy support in a gaming forum. Then everyone says piracy doesn't matter or cause price increases.

Where is this support you speak of? All I see is one page of piss pulling aimed at the OP and the second discussing whether firmware modding results in an MS Live ban.

No-one has explained exactly how to do it, where to go to get it done or even provided a link to some info on how to get started

...and NO ONE WILL! End of story.

+1 How did you come to this conclusion!

No one's offered their services to mod them, no exact details. Its more informational.

Guess I jumped to conclusions. I've just been seeing a lot of people asking about piracy, and seeing no problems with it.

They can ask all the questions they like - it starts getting dodgy when people start replying say phone xyz to get it chipped, or do abc to chip your console.
