I have an xbox dreamcast and PS1 on the go and my son has a PS2 but won't let me chip it

What does everyone else use?

We have a PS1, an (old) XBOX, a couple of Nintendo DS's and various other Gameboys etc. Wainting for the PS3.

We've got a chipped xbox, the guy done it for £60 plus two games included, and sells the games for a fiver

I only get the wee yin "official" games from santa, the rest I just get from the same guy

Got myself the official godfather game on sat, gonna gee it a bash later on

We have a PlayStation 1. It gets hardly any use and I think we only have about 3 games for it... When it fails it wont be replaced.

Ditto although I have about a dozen games. Haven't touched it in months although it is permanently connected up ready to go if I get the urge.

I can highly recommend the softmodded xbox

easy to do too

I might be picking your brains over the holidays, as ours has it's first birthday soon and is therefore out of warranty

jontydog · 13-12-06, 03:29 PM

Softmodding doesn't affect the warranty m8 as the box doesn't have to be opened up and can be turned off and rerturned to its original state. I can give you a link to a guide on how to do it if you want but apparently there is a small (very small) chance you can screw up your xbox. But on the other hand I suppose its only like patching a sat receiver. Same principal really.

I have a PS2 but it's more an ornament than anything else :

Last time it was used was Tenerife 2005

Would love a NINTENDO Wii

Next door neighbours got one and it's spot on
