This is called the first “real” mod chip for the Xbox360. — Is it? You tell me.

The NME-360 enables your XBox360 to play backups of your highly valuable original games. NME-360 is a universal solution for ALL currently available XBox360 Consoles on the market. Forget crazy dual mods with 30+ wires or even bricking your DVD drive by flashing corrupt/wrong firmware files. Your original firmware stays untouched and intact at any time when using the NME-360. There is no need for any firmware-reading or flashing.

The NME-360 autodetects the inserted media. If the inserted media is a backup NME-360 injects the necessary information to the DVD drive enabling it to boot smoothly ahead! If the media is an original game, or anything else, which doesnt require any further action of the NME-360 then it simply falls asleep so there is no need for an external switch whatsoever. This way it can not be detected online when you play an original onlinegame.

I’d be surprised if some sort of legal action is not taken regarding this sort of thing since Microsoft has to minimize any sort of box “modding” to assure that its online gaming activities do not allow cheaters and thus ruin the experience for everyone else. Of course this device seems aimed at making the device capable of running “backups.” Whatever the case when you read through all the literature it seems like a lot of work overall. What I’d like to see is a complete Xbox360 done in software to run on a PC. Now that would be something!

    Does this not run afowl of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act’s “thou shalt not hack digital rights management” clause?

    only if the producers are American. The DMCA has no reach beyond the USA and most people who still operate in the copy protection circumvention business are located somewhere overseas with something like only a US P.O. box if any US address at all.

    I’m starting to wonder if Sony intentionally allowed the ps one to be easily hacked or modified to play pirated games. Maybe they know something microsoft doesn’t know about. The rise of the sony playstation was phenomenal and the volume of consoles they’ve sold over the years is beyond imagination, unless they falsely claim that they have sold x millions of ps one units.

    I guess no one will really know if piracy actually helped sony snatch the number one position from nintendo a few years ago. Maybe they actually planned it that way and probably recovered loses by the number of consoles sold, rather than from the software sales.

    If say, MS becomes lax on piracy, would it produce the same results? Maybe not at the onset but it might one day get them the number one spot but for what price? I don’t think MS is will to lose money just to be number one.

    nem112 – you are very mistaken!

    You can go online witha nme-360 chip and it is the flashed dvd drives that are now detectable by MS. It is worth getting the chip for this reason alone and well worth a 2 second job changing the format of the image.

    Do your homework!

    Microsoft looses 30% on each xbox 360 sold, but getd it back in the games.

    Hi everyone, just wanted to ask, whther it’s the right time to buy XBox360 now. as some people i heard from saying the ‘Modified’ Xbox360 is currently facing some problem and not many gameconsole dealers are selling it.

    Thank you

    omg you guys are all stupid. xbox360 is a consol and therefor has console properties. however you can bypass these properties by designing ur own computer with sync A 492582 delta 54.69\851 drive and a dozen processor like i have. this is 3x better than quad and it also has consol ports and i can change the ports so that i can play any console game on it.
    as this thing has a grand total of 1357 gb of ram and 100 terabites of free space. so far it can support any cd console. so all i need to do is well just get the cd or download it.

  14. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
