    Default Help Eviltaco64 decide

    Well, now that my Xbox 360 is broken (AGAIN), I've been contemplating selling it (after fixing it, of course) for another console.

    This is where you guys come in. What do you think I should do? I've made a poll...voice your opinion.

    I myself am really thinking about just selling it off and buying a PSP...

    If I sell my Xbox 360, I wont be missing out on much, as I really havent used it much in the past. I dont know why, but I really am not a Microsoft fan (Lack of games that I want maybe).

    I could sell it off for a Wii (and sell my Gamecube while Im at it), I think I'd enjoy Wii myself , and homebrew is making it even better.

    I could sell it off for a PS3, which I'd also enjoy very much (some homebrew, internet, the ability to put your own videos on it, a much more common hard drive standard, etc).

    Or I could sell it, and get another Dreamcast, and properly mod my PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox.

    But I could keep it, and maybe even mod the case, fans, and the system itself (or sell it off once it is modded for double the price )

    What do you think?

    Thanks for your time,
    EviltacoKart64

    If you can't see any games you'd want coming out for 360, sell it for a PS3 and MGS4. Can't think of many other reasons to get a PS3 though, but Blu-Ray might be appealing to ya. I really wouldn't bother with a Wii, I haven't touched mine in months.

    I'd wait till E3 to make any big decisions, since its only in a few days. After seeing the games I'd say make a decision.

    P.S. You talk about modding the 360..if you mean modchip, can we still get banned from XBL for that?...

    I remember reading about a modchip that just flashed the DVD firmware and then went into some sleep mode so you could play backups and Live wouldnt detect it, but I wouldnt take any chances playing backups on Live

    its just flashing of a custom firmware on the 360 dvd drive. real easy to do and its pretty safe if you do it right and get the latest updates for it. As for backing up the games its a bit more difficult. U need a dvd drive you don't want no more, you take off the cover and use a certain program to do a swap trick to get the image. oh and u need dual layer dvds.

    theres also a mod that helps you if you get banned

    Any chance to be able to backup my games would be worth it. I've went through at least 6 extra games because the da** thing keeps falling over. When its laying down the cat jumps on it and puts too much pressure on it.

    If you're an MGS fan, then sell it for MGS4 and a PS3.
