Pretty impressive for a gaming machine. Console games still dont have the involvement and energy like p.c games, but for a blast with pals its great!

    Sounds interesting. I'm still gonna wait for the full official spec as you can never be sure if it's hype or fact.

    Still it does sound very nice. I'll be going for which ever of the 3 consoles can be modded the most. The Xbox currently holds that crown, and I have a feeling the Xbox 360/Xenon will be the next to take it.

    Think I'll wait a few months before buying one though. Can see them being quite pricey.

    Is it true that the current Xbox can't go online if its been modded?

    If it is true, what prevents it from going online? Is it a MAC restriction? Can a Xbox MAC be cloned?

    Wonder how much the new Xbox will be.......£299?

    There are plenty of ways to get round the online restriction. This only applies to Xbox Live, as there are plenty of other places you can play online with a mod chip. Older chips, you can just install a switch and have to make sure it's turned off when using Xbox Live. The newer ones, I don't think are effected. I can't actually remember what happens when you're blocked, but there are plenty of tutorials about how to remove the block.

    I reckon a bit more. Maybe £400 when it's first released.

    Yeah it is very easy to play live and have it modded, you just load the the particular bios otherwise it will detect the mod. There is a lot of information online, and as said if you do an 'oops' it can be corrected, but quite technical. If you want anythign else just PM.

    The new line of xboxs will be very expensive i expect upon release although there are suppose to be different models.
