Just making sure....

While I can't speak for everyone else, I can safely say that there's someone other than you that knows how to mod a console.

What you mean with modding? Replacing the hardware or just messing up the plastic case of the console? Hey man, lol there are a thousands of tutorials how to replace the xbox vent with a smarter and cooler one, or how to mod the surface of the case, nothing special.

Actually, I'm referring to the type of modding where you can copy games to an installed hard drive. The regular 8 gig in the Xbox isn't large enough. So you buy a chip and a much larger hard drive. There's more to it, but yea, not talking about replacing or changing the appearance of the box itself...although sometimes that can be fun.

Modding it like that keeps you from being able to log onto Xbox live...'course I don't know if they've come up with a way to get past that since I did it for one of my friends, but still....anyways, with the Halo 2 pirated version flying around, its easier for those with modded boxes to access and play it. You might say this is a bad thing....and I would agree with you.

I don't think that they would release it earlier...they've got over a million pre-orders and I don't think that they could ship the amount needed any earlier than the 9th. Of course, that's all my own opinion. Also, in your first post...where does it say that in the Ilovebees site? And yea, XboxHacker has a bit of a point....it doesn't back much up when you type in all caps. Its also harder to read, and really annoying to read. Plus, Bungie and MS are already engaged in larger marketing mediums right now. How does talking about a pirated version of Halo 2 help sell more games? Just work some stuff out before you try to tell us how things are. Try to suggest it first, maybe ask if we think that's what it is....don't tell us what's going down. I'm sorry, but I don't really believe you're a Manager at Gamestop.

Alright, maybe you work there...but Manager? Glad to see the regular type, by the way. Also, I'm not sure on protocol or laws, but I thought that access to games on pre-order or unreleased items regardless of where you work and who you are in the business is somewhat against store policy. But hey, who am I to talk. If that's really what you do and you can get it on the 3rd...sweet...hoorah for you. Just don't talk about anything on here before the rest of us have a chance to get ahold of it. Wait...the november issue of OXM comes out on the 2nd. Its supposed to reveal a heck of a lot of info....like the single player story line and other things that were witheld for months/years. So, you might be able to talk about it...heh, I dunno, I'm just ranting...

xboxhacker, i bet nobody gives a [insert badword here] about your xbox modding skills. So you can mod boxes, so? i can walk and chew bubbelgum at the same time, but im not posting that on the forum, we are here to trying help Bungie to solve this leak problem, and you are not helping anyone with your posts.

Umm, My xbox is modded and I can play ont LIVE. Most chip can boot the default dash and shut themselves off from being detected. If they are detected the only thing that happens is that box's eeprom is banned......replace it with an unbanned one and, voila!

Also, you can SoftMod your xbox without even opening the Xbox and voiding your warranty. You will then have the same functionality as a "chipped" box.

Why does softmodding work? Because of a major exploit left open by M$ themselves.


ALSO, for the 10th time. Stop with the damn french bashing unless you have some inside knowledge about the leak. I doubt he's french.....but hey, what do I know.

The Halo 2 they download is for the X-Box not for the pc
They use a Converted X-box wich plays illegal games
So the rest is simple burn the downloaded file on dvd and there you have it Halo 2 on the X-box

sorry bungie i will help if i can to catch the A$@ that did this. i've got mine preordered and i will happily wait to get it at 12:00 a.m. on the 9th at ebgames. i really hope you find out who did this so they can get what they diserve. i wonder if it was a friend of the people who stole the half-life 2 source code, they should all pay for what they have done!
