XBox 360 can be Jailbreak to play backup games on Hard Drive like a PS3 right? Khen is buying an XBox 360, only of course if it can easily copy and play games like a PS3. How easy it is to Jailbreak XBox 360? Can game be play from External Hard Drive?

XBox kinda sucks though, you have to buy their own big pathetic Hard Drive and they don't use Blu-Ray, big game is 3 - 5 DVD. Certain game they decreased the graphic due to the fact it use too much disc space. Like FFXIII they tone the graphic down and it come in 5 DVDs, EWWW...

The DVD drive's firmware can be "flashed", so it will read burnt game discs. You cannot run games entirely from hard drive, but games can be fully installed on them (however you will still need the discs to start the games). If you want to run games entirely from hard drive you will need something like a jtag mod, which requires advanced soldering and only works on old style 360s. I don't recommend it however since jtag consoles cannot play online whereas flash ones can be.

Both old and slim style Xbox 360s can be flashed. The Slim versions though needs to be older type and have a specific DVD firmware of 9504, otherwise it cannot be flashed yet.

You can tell the firmware version by the lot number on the box. Here is a link:
http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63164

When you confirm that the 360 has DVD drive firmware 9504 (by using the lot number), what I can do is send it to a person who can flash the DVD drive so it can play burnt games. It will cost only $45 including shipping.

If you want to send the console yourself, the link to the service is: http://www.ioffer.com/i/xbox-360-flashing-service-+-9504-slim-drives-189491474

I've looked at guides of how to flash Xbox 360s and they seem a bit complicated. Plus, they require you to hook it up to a PC with SATA which I don't have access to. The Slims might be harder to flash as well. So I just send it to a trusted person to do the flashing. Not that expensive and if you pay through PayPal you should not have much to worry about. I've sent my 360 in three times already and all three times got it back flashed.

Since you have a PC with SATA connection, you can try looking up a tutorial like on YouTube. I didn't really bother to try to flash myself mostly cause I don't have SATA connection, and I don't want to go opening up your PC to hook up the DVD drive. Who knows, it might even be easy to do.

If Khen's 360 doesn't have 9504 DVD drive firmware, you are stuck having to buy and play real games. Or simply wait until new firmware becomes available for it which should be pretty soon. You can also just return it and buy one that is 9504 then flash it, or buy an old style 360. There are also lots of preflashed Xbox 360s including slims on http://www.ioffer.com.

Anyways, here are top reasons why Xbox 360 can be better than a PS3:
  • Can play online with flashed drive/backup games. PS3 you can't and probably not for a long time.
  • Games consume less space so you can download them quicker and store more of them on hard drive.
  • No file manager and lots of steps to deal with to play a game. Just burn game, put in your disc drive and play.
  • Most multi-platform games looks better on the 360, except for FFXIII.
  • Can use custom soundtrack in games and play music while playing games (PS3 you can't do this at all).
  • The online is much better with more features and better friends chatting, this is also why it costs money.
  • Lots of exclusive games that PS3 doesn't have. Such as Onechanbara.
Now, here are reasons why Xbox 360 is worse compared to PS3:

  • It's noisy, the old style ones are anyways. The Slims I heard are whisper quiet.
  • Has a relatively high failure rate.
  • No Blu-ray.
  • Have to store games on physical discs.
  • Online costs money to play.
  • Can't use cheats like on PS3.
  • Is made by Microsoft.
Otherwise they are both pretty much the same since they both have the same games.

Man I thought modding an XBox 360 will be easy like an PS3. I tell Khen you know how to do it and it easy, that's why he bought it. Now have to package it up and return it, he is so dissapointed now... -_-'

Can you buy an XBox 360 and flash it for him? He pay you for the Mod XBox 360 of course. It is pointless buying a PS3 now since I have a PS3, XBox so me and him can switch system back and fourth. And I hate Microsoft, I want to copy all their games so they loose tons of money!

What the hell, I never said modding it was so easy. I even told you before that I had to send it to a person to flash it, so that right there tells you it's not as easy as modding the PS3 or even Wii.

Did you even check to see what DVD firmware that 360 has first? If it's 9504 then I can just send it to get it flashed, no need having to return it.

If not, I will buy him a flashed 360. But I will need $300 first. Also it may take up to 2 weeks to get everything done, since I have to buy one off eBay and then send it in to flash it.

If all this fails and is just way too confusing/hard, just sell your PS3 slim and get a Xbox 360 instead! Play all games by just simply burning them from computer and inserting the disc into the console. Go online and play online undetected by Microsoft! Better online! Better graphics than PS3! Games don't take up 20+GB of space each!


Dude calm down not blaming you for it since he returning it and get money back anyway, Well you said that is like meaning XBox 360 is easier to mod. You also telling to get XBox 360 because it is better.

But why can't you just buy him a flash version of XBox 360 then he pay you? He have to give you the money first? I don't think he would take your money knowing he buying a brand new XBox 360. But anyway I ask him either ways.

Oh I just did a check on Firmware Version and it is this one:

11XXX All 0225

Well, modding it is easy since all I have to do is send it to a person and they do all the work. It's easy in that regard. But I was not referring to the slim anyways, cause all the newer slims can't be modded at all. I should have said not to buy a slim so you wouldn't rush out and buy one though. O_O

Does Khen have PayPal? If he pays me does it have to be in cash? I prefer it sent to PayPal since I can just transfer it to bank. I don't like keeping cash around since I always end up using it for stupid things and too lazy to go to bank and deposit.

But yeah I can buy it and he can pay me when it's done. I just prefer to use his money to buy him the stuff he wants. Let him return the 360 and get his money back first though.

And what do you mean calm down? I wasn't even angry, just cause I said hell?

No he doesn't have PayPal, it gonna be Cash. But when he return it I ask him what he want to do and let you know. Give you money first or you get it and he give you money. Either way you still getting the money.

What do you think about the older Generation of XBox 360 though? I heard they heated faster then slim and the failures rate is high for fat version. And is the the item you get on eBay gonna be good and brand new? eBay is notorious for terrible item.

I'm going to get a fat 360 Elite with jasper chipset. This is the latest and newest chipset that fixes all the overheating problems. So there is no chance of failures, RROD or anything like that.

I don't know which chipset mine has, but so far it has no problems at all. I played Saints Row 2 for 50 hours, Resident Evil 5 for 10 hours and a bunch of other games for at least 10 more hours.

Anyways, I want him to pay you the money first, then you pay me through PayPal. Does that work for you?

No the person sending doesn't incur any fees. I've send personal payment MANY times and never once had a fee associated with it. I've sent you over $500 with the eGay laptops and did not have a fee at all, and you also received the full amount. As long as you send it as personal, gift and use instant bank transfer (and not credit/debit card) nobody will get any fees.

A PayPal gift is only free if you have funds in your account or it comes from a bank account. If you use a debit/credit card to fund it, then there is a charge.

I am only kindly asking if you can do this for, since I have to do all the work of buying and modding the 360. It's the least you can do to return the favor. I know it's supposed to be for Khen but you said you were going to share the console together. And yes I really don't want to make an unnecessary trip to the bank to deposit the money and I don't want to keep so much cash lying around.

Alright I guess he can just give me it in cash. I have to go to the post office anyways since someone decided to throw all my international shipping envelopes away.

Right now I'm looking at a 360 jasper ending in 30 minutes. I hope this is the one to buy and I will win it. So make sure Khen wants it otherwise I don't want to end up not paying it and getting non-paying strike.

Yes he say he want it, it have to be New though since used one doesn't cost $300 and it break down too fast. And isn't FAT one cost less?

Yo, it is next to impossible to find either a brand new Xbox 360 Slim 9504 that can be flashed or a brand new fat Xbox 360. They both are not produced anymore, so even if you do find one that's brand new it's going to be very expensive and over $300.

Don't worry, I just bought a lightly used mint Xbox 360 with a jasper chipset for $225. This new chipset prevents all of the failures of the Xbox 360 so you don't have to worry about it breaking down. It also has 90 days warranty repair or replacement free of charge. It does cost a bit more but it's worth it since it doesn't break.

Also, does he want a hard drive too? 120GB hard drive costs $45 more. It is not necessary to play games though since you have to play it through discs, I only use mine to install games so they run quicker.

So the console with controllers, cables and everything is $225. Flash is $45, so total would be $270. If you want hard drive it will be $315.
Compared to slim it will be over $350.

I don't think hard drive is worth it though. And if you want to use one you can always buy it later onwards.

Anyways, after it's all done I'll give back the remaining money. Most likely $30.

Well yeah I know it's not possible to get brand new, I post this before come down and asking you about it.

Without Hard Drive is fine, 120GB is not much. Can store only like 6 - 8 games. If everything work, he say you can keep the remaining money for doing it for him.

Ah Crap! Hmm..he seam to like playing from Hard Drive better, faster to access to games, faster load time, no Eject and Load, and Disc don't get scratch and ruined. If the XBox you buy don't have any Hard Drive, how is it gonna install new updates and patches? 120GB is too little anyway, can the XBox be play from External Hard Drive like the PS3? I think you should get him the Hard Drive though for save and updates, patches, and to install few games on it?

Maybe just get a small Hard Drive if External work, to store Data and updated. My bad though saying he don't need Hard Drive at first. I tell him to give you $20 or more dollar when you are done with it.
