i will probably close this thread today, but here is one last update and a premod for sale too!!
for sale:
my plain jane v1.4 xbox live console is up for sale. it is currently unmodded, but i am going to sell it as an x3 premod because i have an extra chip right now. this is a great deal and possibly the last premod i will ever sell on this forum. this console is in fantastic condition(i purchased it new last fall), but i simply have not had much time to use it and now i use my xbox360 for online play. plus, i just scored a virgin eeprom for my smartxx v3 console with a virgin 200gb hd.
$99 * v1.4 console w/ philips dvd, stock hd & stock cables
>>>> (i am unwilling to part out or sell this console unmodded)
$50 * xecuter3 modchip
$13 * black s-controller
$18 * insured usps priority mail shipping
the total as described is $180 shipped which is a little high compared to someone who just wants to dump their console. in other words, this deal is for someone who wants to avoid any worries about the quality of mod installation or previous abuse of the console. it has very little use(or abuse) and you are purchasing from a very reputable bst and ebay seller who stands behind his online sales and soldering work. i am willing to discuss selling with a cheaper modchip, tsop flash, upgraded hd and/or virgin eeprom at actual cost, but i am unwilling to part it out or sell unmodded. i can also sell upgraded accessories and cables for super cheap prices because they need to be sold quick!
