but.. oh well, its the internet.

Is it possible to legally buy a pre-flashed 360 anywhere?

Id possibly be interested in rebuying a 360 now its so easy to play hookie games on.

I sold my first because Gears Of Hype failed to carry me to the promised land and drown me in a sea of blonde virgins.

LINK to Harware Schmeide
I think they speak english so my best bet would be to call them and simply ask about shipping and stuff. I bought mine there and absolutly no prob.

Adress:
Die HardwareSchmiede
Hintere Flachsmarktstr. 2
55116 Mainz

Opening times: Mo.-Fr. 10-18.30 / Sa. 10-16
Phone: 0049 61 31 / 2 18 25 25

EDIT:
Shipping cost in the EU up to 30 kg 18 EUR.
Over 30 kg will be calculated depending on the work required.

So...

Arcade version flashed 244+18=262 Euro.
Premium version flashed (20Gig HD) 299.90 +18= 317.90 Euro.
Elite version flashed (120Gig HD) 409,90+18=427,90 Euro.

imho its not that easy if ya have to pull apart your whole new system and get everything running without destroying the guaranty, if you do it the first time.

since you can get it pre-modded with guaranty by m$ and/or the shop themself for a few € extra, its not that bad deal.

btw: gametop.de is a nice shop for this kind of things Wink

What the fuck is up with your laws people?

at www.qxl.no (very similar to ebay) some people live by flashing 360s...
also a lot of people who sell flashed 360s. Its not illegal to sell flashed 360s.. some people might just burn backups Rolling Eyes

well u paying for flash job and 2 years guarantee it's same price as in germany, if u want cheap get core/arcade and flash yourself or pay someone to get job done if u never did it before, u can also get preflashed ones from markplaats

u can pretty much flash any drive except for those which require soldering[hitachi m79 i believe]
samsungs probably easiest to flash, but they are very rare

Yes i want to do it cheap but how do i know wich unit has what drive in it, i dont wanna buy one that is hitachi or something and that i have to solder, i wanna be able to flash it without modifying/soldering the hardware in any way.

thanks for all the links, specially coxy Smile

The reason I am not going to attempt it myself, is simple.. I don't have a pc Smile I have a macbook..

As far as I know its impossible to flash one with a Macbook, right?
