Shouldnt they ban his account then? If he's selling fake items? u should try to get his ass banned....seriously. |

I'm sure this is true is some respect...take ebay as an example if the seller has %100 selling record with like 600 positive replys, you can safely say that he/she can be trusted. Plus I only shop online at trusted sites...I've had no prob so far...knock on wood |

Someone stole a copy of my parents credit card receipt from a hotel cash register or wherever they keep the recepits (employee?) -- they racked up a shitload of charges.
I trust the internet more than the real world.  A hacker at least has to use skill to steal numbers, while any idiot can steal a piece of paper with your info on it. |
Ya if someone wants to steal your card it will happen anyplace anytime. |

Both u guys make good points, seriously ...I just dont trust it, and i dont think i ever will
unless, say its forced, like u cant go to the bank to do banking manually or everything ends up being an online store and they do away with regular stores...then I guess I'll have to, but until then, nope.
And plus, u cant get deals buying shit online...like say u go to a certain game shop and get to know the manager cuz u pre order ur shit there and spend nuff money etc, u get hook ups like crazy
Or say ur buying from an auction site or something, same thing as the flee market or a private store...and most things in privately owned stores are negotiable, so ive learned. I always bargin. Cant do that online.

Ya but certain items are hard to find in stores...like modd chips  ...hard to find movies...or in my case a certain type of camera thats not being produced and very hard to find, except online.
So buying online is a must for me.
PLus preordering my xbox360
Are you sure you have a credit card |

No I don't have a GameCube. Just the Xbox and the PS2 which Also has a 300gb HDD in there. I was considering getting one though.
The five purchases weren't off him. Just off other sellers.

Yep, but i try NEVER to use it...unless im going out somewhere where im gunna need a decent amount of money, like a fancy date perhaps, its easier...and whatever i owe on the card i pay off at the end of the month...credit cards are a rip, interests rate and service charges etc...I'd rather use cash |

The only reason I got a gamecube was for certain games like RE4 and Zelda games, so it acually might be a waist of time to get into modding the GC. Its to bad Nintendo just doesn't have the games I would play! |

Or try a link at http://www.teamxecuter.com/ on the left hand side.
I have to admit to never chipping a Game Cube though. Can't be too hard, the Xbox was easy.
However if you've never soldered before practice on an old circuit board. Remember to use flux.

I wouldn't get too excited about the xbox 360. The protection is going to be a problem indeed. I doubt we'll see a modchip in the first year of the 360.

Ya I know but they sucked me in on this one...plus I want to get my hands on Perfect Dark Zero plus I never played xbox live before.
I also love the idea of streaming music Pictures movies from PC.
I probley won't buy alot of games...mostly for PD0...abit of nostalgia from the goldeneye/perfectdark era
And hopefully it won't take that long to crack
Acually thinking about it mabey modding the gamecube isn't such a bad idea...I love tinkering with that kind of stuff |
