Re: Q.? Modding the box! The pros & cons, your opinions would be appreciated.

However, for someone who does not use XBL then there is no problem, if you mod it (as is your right to do so as its now your property) then as long as you no longer expect any support from the manufacturer the rest is just a legal mishmash over copyright & fair play issues etc.
Ahhhh yes but, read that nice big manual of yours....although it is your property, m$ reserved the right to keep the machine unmodded, and thus by modding it you are breaching the T&C NOT of XBL but of your xbox itself too,
alot of products have this kinda feature that although it is your property the original owners keep a stake in the ownership of the item

dvd players, gaming consoles - all of these have had the same kinda condition for years now.....

BTW, adding a modchip can be for reasons other than just using copied game DVD's.
It allows you to store your games on the HDD
making backups of your games to your HDD is still considered illegal and carries up to 6 month imprisonment per disc backed up.....
