Onyxia Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I bought a xbox 360 elite last month. Havent had much time to mess around, but when i first got it i set up xbox live, downloaded a few themes and what not. Its a modded machine so i didnt try playing any games on it, but now when i turn on to watch hd dvd movies or play my copied games i get the message i need to do a console update, if i dont do it i cant connect. So my question is , can i do the update without worry of bricking my machine. Not to worried about being banned from xbox live, just dont want the console to get bricked. Bought it for fallout 3 and few games coming out later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 When i first got my machine (also modded) i did the upgrade without a problem, i also signed upto Xbox live and did a few other updates - never went back to Xbox live so i dont know if im banned or not - my machine still works ok now tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_B Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've been banned for a year now but not missed live much as I play PS3 if I want to play online (which is free to play) A few games have had updates since then and all went through ok MS will change their deshboard next month and I expect this will make it's way onto game DVDs shortly after. No word yet if this has extra protection etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I have had a modded ellite for over 2 years now and I have installed every update for every game and console. You'll be fine. I have played online for 2 years also and have not been banned. Luck of the draw, but I can sefely say you won't brick it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaidee1 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just finished fallout 3 last night - available now for those with modded 360s Hello m8, where did you get your copy of Fallout 3?

Ian_B Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 These games I DL the games myself so I can burn them onto GOOD quality DVD+R DL Had too many games from MBK turn into coasters after a few weeks play but don't have that problem with the games I do myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Lil late on the game console frenzy - xbox 360 or PS3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Lil late on the game console frenzy - xbox 360 or PS3? I have a 360 so i am biased. Love it. Also depends on what type of games you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_B Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Depends on how much money you want to be spending With the 360 you can get cheap "Back-up" games to play but you lose the ability to play online pretty quickly if you are not super careful. I play on all 3 consoles (360,PS3 & Wii) and spend most of my time on my PS3. Now it might be because there are no "Back-ups" for PS3 so I feel obliged to play games for much longer due to paying full price (1400THB for original PS3 games) but I just prefer the PS3 these days. The PS3 is region free for games and they are easy to get here and Sony don't charge a fee to use their online service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallout 3 is more like Oblivion with guns but there is some of that classic Fallout atmosphere in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameer Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Does Anyone Know How Much The Elite Or The Pro Is In Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 My modded xbox got banned a few months ago, they disabled the WiFi and media player (as well as anything online because it will no longer connect online). Major pain in the ass as it is my media player for the bedroom (over wifi)........... I picked up an elite bundle back in OZ in april, $200.00 brandnew...happy days, I get my media player back and the missus can still play her dodgy copies of left4dead !!!!

Ian_B Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Well after 18 months my 360 Elite got RROD whilst playing Crackdown 2 Am sure games that really push the system to the max must contribute to RROD somehow Will get it repaired at Pantip next week and if unrepairable I still have an unmodded elite which I can mod Anybody know if the new Xbox 360 slim can be modded?
