Soft mod ???

[Quall999]

softmod is modding....the internal files, boot procedure...
it is not cheaper, you must have AR, or a copy of a game that has been exploited (splinter cell, mechassult, 007). Renting is not too typical, if you want to go online or remove it. Costs more than a standard chip, not to mention it is easier to mess up an xbox in a way that you will have to buy a chip to fix.

Using a chip is not risky. The most popular bios prevents logging onto xbox if you hit it on accident. And there is a disable switch on just about every chip. You can't even use live with a softmod, unless you want to do alot of work to remove it (which if you didn't spen 20 bucks to buy a game, you have to spend 5 more to rent one).

Soft mod is NOT glitchy! And NOT expensive. I have softmod about 15 xbox's now and they all perform perfectly. + they all have warranty intact.

Yea,my friend and I have did 3 i really have'nt noticed any diffrence compared to my chipped Xbox as far as performance goes.
problem i see is it's a little more work than chipping.

I was going to try the HD Hot swap method someday, just for the hell of it. Doesn’t cost anything but requires the cover removed, of course.
