I have read the threads and cannot find all the information I want.
________________________________________________-___

At the minute I have chipped PS and PS2 so I know about game backups, swap tricks etc...

****** Ive had enought and cant take it anymore, I want an Xbox ******

Im need to buy a DVD writer, Pre Chipped xbox, need software ----
Please advice.

What is the best software to use with which DVD writers? Is there any difference in the writable media brands etc???

What is the best pre chipped machine (eg. xbox with X-ecuter 2 Lite)

What im after is swap free, just stick it in and play is as a normal game.

any ideas

All xbox backups are swap free. Your example is probably the best pre-chipped machine. You need PrimoDVD to burn, the xbox isos. If you want to backup the games yourself, then you will need FlashFXP for your PC and EvolutionX for your Xbox.

Copying games is simular to the DC, but better gui's.

I see its just not as easy as reading the xbox game on your dvd-writer and burning a copy of it.........

Is that because the dvd-writer wont recognise the data on the game disk ?

That is exactly it. So you must ftp into your xbox and read from its drive. You need evoX to do this. If your looking for a pre-modded xbox w/ evox and an on/off switch, check out my site HERE The totla price would be $290+shipping. And I will be available for any tech support you may need.

Is it difficult or easy, cuz I dont have a DVD writer.....

Im wondering if it would be handier to buy backups of the games that I have, rather than burning it myself.................. or is that just being pure lazy ?

How do you FTP from the xbox ? is it using the IP address? ?

Can I get a few testimonials -

Plus Im wondering how many games i could store on the xbox HDD 80 gig?

hmmm buying backups
yea, u can somebody say

I L L E G A L!
uhh check out quall999's site for the basic networking which is also on sites such as www.xbox-scene.com
it tells u the IP etc....
i recommend buyin an hd
its alot easier
u can run games alot faster
and its just plain old easy
i got a nice 120 gig meanin ill never have to change it
which is good
80 gig can hold about 30-40 possibly
it all varys
the game could be anywhere from 680 i think to like MGS2 which is 6 gig
so
that about it
