Yes, 'tis true. I was talking to one of my older friends who works in a computer shop and he was telling me loads of interesting stuff, but mainly that the X-Box has been chipped, but is 29 wires to solder. The guy who made it, who lives in my area (and owns the website that sells it, funnily enough :P) wants to bring it down to one wire soon, but anyway, he was arrested a while back for a few days because he stole Microsoft's code on a chip he was making with only one wire.
Also, apparently, games are very easy to copy. All you have to do is get an X-Box game, and extract it to your hard drive, and copy it to a DVD - that's it.
Not really difficult, anyone could do it. It doesn't take talent, just knowledge of how to work an application...
Interesting, although I love my original games far too much :P

Chipping cheapens the whole gaming experience.
Rotted and faceless CDs, a messed-up console, buying games off dodgy Dave - no thanks.

Please lawless don't promote piracy, I would never dream of chipping my xbox.
Also many people have chipped their PS2 and it broke aftrer around 5 months after the laser burned out.

Ye you try getting yours done becuase I for one *DEFINATLEY* am *NOT* getting my Xbox mod-chipped. Just think of the consiquences:
Xbox Live
DVD-Drive
Hard-Drive
The Xbox is a totally different ball game to getting your PSONE mod-chipped becuase even an Action Replay cartridge could do that on the PSONE. Straight away the warranty goes out of the window, the Hard-Drive is yet to be fully tested with downloads from Xbox Live. Microsoft are already worried about Hackers so they are releasing an Anti Virus program, just answer this:
You get a virus on your Hard-Drive and nothing will run properly, now what?
If the console hasn't been chipped then you can sort it out with Microsoft otherwise you can kiss good-bye to your Xbox and anything you had saved onto it! Anything and everything ca be electronically chipped so this post isn't really telling us anything new and only fools will try it out.
