A 2 week sentence with parole & tagging would have seen him released by the w/end!

I seriously doubt that.. I could do community service standing on my head even if it took forever to complete.. Rather that then getting a new boyfriend/cellmate I didn't want to begin with.

Uk jails are soft as shiite, most peeps have a better life inside than out!

Enough spamming for me.. I'm banning myself from this thread

When you buy a computer you are free to do with it what you wish, you can change any component of it for something bigger, better and faster. I really cant see why people can not do this with their own xbox systems?

You can customize your xbox however you want. However, that breaks the tos for xbox live and voids any warrenty you might have. Nobody ever said it was illegal.

You cannot obtain hacked bios (or the originals for that matter) legally because microsoft does not distribute the original bios freely. This is where legal issues come in. It is their code and they chose to sell it. Distributing it is just like giving somebody a pirated game.

I must say I dont own an xbox, (I also dont usually venture into the xbox forums, I only followed Neipas's post, silly me ) anyway I wasnt aware of all the legalities of the xbox either. I wasnt aware of anything you have mentioned? Thanks Quall you have made me a little wiser.
