modded xbox 360 or unmodded...

You have to choose.

Buy modded and you can save money on the games but stand the risk of losing the whole console itself in case of an RROD.

If you buy an umodded console, then you can always get it repaired for free from MS. Besides, you won't feel like a thief as well, pirating games.

One more thing.

If any one posts where modded console or it's games are available, the thread will be deleted.

@amey...

upto you...

1.Risk rrod and play pirated As long as possible.... its luck maybe u can go a long way....
guys have modded it and played for more than 1.5 years without getting RROD...it depends on how many hours u play on ur console...if u a heavy one..stay away from modded.....

2.Live without worries..get warranty......

and oh yeah choose what is easy on ur pocket on the LONG RUN....

If U Want To Buy Unmodded U Cannot afford the original games which are rated above 2.5k per game.

IF U BUIED modded one there is a risk of turning xbox to rrod any time but in pune there are many dealers who can repair rrod.

Where Do U Live In Pune

i live in kothrud...are u also frm pune ?? where frm ?

Just get a PC. Much better option. And the games are pretty cheap too. Many are below 1k.

I thnk un-modded is better, you will miss out on XLive if you mod it!

BTW wat is RROD?

RedRingOfDeath...a failure warinign....like BSOD

Forget about Xbox Live, if you get that RROD on the moded 360 you can say goodbye to 20,000 bucks .

@ amey_dude


don't buy modded xbox 360...few months back i bought one and i faced many problems with my xbox 360...after continuous playing(2 or 3 hours)my system getting rrod.at that time i completely turn off my console for 1 hour and then again power on...it is normally starting.but after 2 hours the problem is same.it is a big headache i faced with my console...of course the games are cheap..in my place u can get any game for 80/-.....after bearing 6 months i gave my xbox 360 to my friend and bought 60gb ps3..
now i am happy with my ps3.


finally my suggestion is....

1.if u are still ready to buy modded console u can go....and be ready to bare thousands of rupees for repairing your console.

2.if u want to buy unmodded xbox 360...my suggestion is don't buy xbox 360 instead of that buy a ps3.

r u faced rrod...??

if faced..how many times faced..and how much time taken to replace from m$

^never ever.i have 2 consoles,both unmodded.one is us and other is indian.never faced a prob.the us console is from the first lots of xbox i.e purchased on launch.and still running fine..but just yesterday i had a dvd drive problem on the indian one.will call ms on monday for a replacement.

MS does not take long to replace consoles.their customer service is good

RROD is because of a glitch in manufacturing process which cause overheating. New batch xbox360s are going to be rrod free. There are guides on the internet which allow you to fix an RROD on your own if you have the tools with a goog percentage of success. Even if your modded xbox360 rrods every 8 games (20k+ retail) , you will be saving money but breaking the law.
