Careful how you word your questions (Number 3)

[cwispy]

1. can you play games off the ext usb HD ?

No

2. can you ftp video and mp3's to ext HD ?

No. But you can play them off a usb caddy for example plugged into the usb ports on the 360.

3. how ezy is it to burn downloaded games from inet to dvdr-dl ? (is just use ISO burner - hit record and done ?)

As long as you stick to good brand burners such as Pioneer and if the file includes a '.dvd' file, you need to use clonecd (yes it does dvd's) and you open the .dvd file and not the .iso to burn. The dvd file holds the details as to where the layer break should go.

3. are the dvdr-dl - or + or can both ?

The 360 only recognises DVD+R Dual Layer disks.

4. how hard is to flash xbox 360 ? wot hardware do ya need ?

You will need at the very least a pc with a sata card/port and the appropriate software for your drive. Do a google on xbox 360 dvd drive identification and then once you know what drive you have, google for the instructions on how to flash that drive. There is quite a few tutorials out there.

forgot to ask ....does it make it region free (PAL or NTSC ) ????

[pak_indo]

nope... though many games are...

3. how ezy is it to burn downloaded games from inet to dvdr-dl ? (is just use ISO burner - hit record and done ?)

To add to cwispy's post, if you don't have the dvd file, only the iso, you can set the break manually to 1913760

if you want any work done on your 360, contact micksxboxmods as he is the 2nd best person to do any work on them.


some goon mod banned him from here ............


the only reason you would be burning downloaded games was because you couldn't back up your own legally bought games right?

[TomaHawk]

So poison, do you actually KNOW why he was banned ? I doubt it..

Just another crackpot on the ineternet

On number 4 Just be aware Woody that some of the new recent drives filtering through cannot be flashed or modded at the moment.

I do believe I have an insight as to why Mick was banned. the reasons have been posted on other forums.


Edit: thanks for editing my post and taking out the reference to how to contact mick. why would anyone want to get work done on their expensive console and not use the best in the business? Of course he is only the 2nd best arround but because I dont do business in the field, Mick is the best in the business.

Game saves, music, xbox live demos, and also where seeing a few add-on packs like Oblivion and GRAW legacy that wont run unless you have a HD.

[Woodstock]

You should do a search there's heaps of info about the 360 and HD.

You have no idea at all why he was banned Poison. If you did know why , you would be saying what an arsehole he is.

He is banned from the site as is his name , his site and anything else about him. As to the "goon mod" that banned him , that would be mods with an S. He has the rare honor of being banned by every moderator on the site. Such was the seriousness of his actions , that a staff meeting was convened as to what action to take with all Moderators agreeing he should be banned.

That should give you an insite in to the seriousness of why he was banned. We have never called a meeting where all moderators are required to vote on what action to take against a single member. So unless you want to be led up the garden path fighting a crusade for someone that doesnt deserve your sympathy , I would look at the actual facts not some rumour probably started by Mick to gain sympathy.

His name is mud and he is never welcome back here. If you have an issue with that , you can contact me via PM or email as any further reference to Mick on the site will be deleted.

Thanks
Sanity

I might have a look at this.

How does warranty work? Does the new extended warranty cover all problems, or just the 3 ROD?
Well i found the info - page wouldn't load before.

So if you have the 3ROD you don't have to produce any receipt (as all console are still covered), but if you have another problem you will have to produce a receipt?
How long does it take to get the consoles back?

Thanks, RHCP.

[extreme101]

you will find that most of these consoles going on ebay with teh 3rlod problems have been opened, seal broken. there for MS wont fix them, warrenty void.
I would definitely confirm this with the seller.
