Hey so I currently have 2 Xbox 360's

- An Elite (Flashed)
- A 2006 Model which red ringed

Right so basically I want to do two things, firstly start downloading and burning my own games to play on console one and also 2 if you can help me fix it (think i've mentioned this before)

1) Some guy who used to live round the corner flashed my xbox and burn me games, but tha police busted his ass and now i want to do myself a few games, yaknow backups
I know how to download the games myself but im not sure how to burn them on disc, i will be playing the copies using a secondary hdd with no live profile and such, so thus safe bro

2) how do you fix an xbox that has 3 red rings, simply if possible

Thanks

If you get caught playing backups, Your whole xbox gets banned

And if you keep using capitals after a comma you'll be banned.

Anyway i have no idea about games but there are a few possible ways to fix red rings, You should google it tbh.

<<DELETED>>

Using this method you will get banned sometime though from xbox live.

Yeah.

OP is too stupid to do all this shit.

Maybe OP doesn't care about live (the best thing on the 360), or the elite is already banned?

Also doesn't xbox live ban cripple your hard drive? the only way to get your gamertag working is to buy another hard drive and recover it.
OP be careful

No matter what abgx says, you will eventually get banned

Your Gamertag still works fine, you just can't carry any achievements across.

You don't need to buy another hard drive to recover it at all.

Do you know what you are on about?

I read that whatever memory devices are attached the xbox on time of ban it cripples them from use.

Don't ask me what i'm on about, ask the internets

It wouldnt suprise me, they locked out all 3rd party HDD and memory units a few months back.

So that's a no then

From experience it does not cripple the HDD or any memory device, unless you are using some unapproved piece of jap crap of have modified your HDD (tried to get a 120Gb for cheapness).

Your memory is bad or you look at internetz and don't intake.

Or it liez?

It renders homemade upgrades and 3rd party unapproved stuff useless.

But the xbox memory devices are just fine and you can carry on, you just can't install games to HDD, transfer your gamertag to a live machine to update it to internetz or take saves.

Also your media player extender is fucked.

I've had a few go banned, but the HDDs are still in new machines, they live on and on and on.

What do you do when you get one banned? just bin it?

Sell it to someone who doesn't want to ever go online for a decent profit.

I haven't got any flashed anymore as games are cheap preowned at places like blockbuster.

I've still got the CK3 and XECUTER USB should I ever wish to reflash.

Was that for any reason other than financial gain?

Yeah, I can get virtually any game for less than a tenner on forums too.

Agreed I only buy originals for my 360 as you can get most stuff dirt cheap, and if you don't mind waiting a month or so until after release most games drop to sub £20 anyway (see Forza 3 for £17.95 delivered, when it was £39.99 just before crimbo).

Plus the 2nd hand market for 360 games is huge so you can pick up most games for a bargain if you look around, it just isn't worth the hassle of flashing and risking getting your console banned.

Also, NO PIRACY TALK.

the elite will no longer be used for flashed games, i aim to fix the second red ringed console myself, which was and will be flashed and use that for flashed games, i do not begrudge paying for good games im going to play a lot aka FiFA COD and Madden
