Chipped X - Box's

[Ric]

Legal Jargon. It is illegall to copy, modify and or reproduce a product that is under copy right protection. Chipping your X-Box voids your manufacturers warranty.

On that note I was just wondering if anyone here has their X-Box chipped and what your views on this are.

For me the positives far outweighed the negatives and I got mine chipped. Reason being that I can now use my X-Box to run all my old favourites. It acts as a N.E.S, S.N.E.S, Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis) N64, Playstation... I could go on. All with a little thing called emulation and roms. I know that regular users of this website have mixed views on this so I wondered if you agree or disagree with it.

It's dishonest I know but I now never have to buy a game again. I can just rent one, rip it to my hard drive and it effectively becomes a built in game. All those people waiting for Halo 2, I played it, ok the voice acting is in french but you still get everything else in english. It's looking pretty damn good, fans of the game arent going to be disappointed.

My reason is this, for anyone who lives out of home and holds down a full time job will understand that they dont live out of their parents pocket anymore if I can rent a game and copy it rather than wasting £40 then bonus, I got cash for a game and my weekly shopping / bills. My other reason is that I wouldn't be able to afford the games otherwise meaning I would never play them.

Illegal breach of copy wright and and video game piracy. I love it. What's your view.
