[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 5860916, member: 203855"] I always wonder about the mindset of people who try to [I]"fix"[/I] their banned 360/PS3 consoles. These days they're so cheap to get a hold of that [I]"fixing"[/I] an old one usually surpasses the value of a new one. I don't know how the situation looks like in the US, but over here in the UK you can get a baseline Xbox/PS3 for around 50 quid, which translates to $75, and that's in a gaming store where systems are sold at a significant mark-up - online you can get them for pennies. Usually transplanting your old HDD, RGH chip, ODDE, modchip and other peripherals is trivial if you know what you're doing, especially on the PS3 which doesn't lock HDD's, so you stand to lose nothing by just getting another unit and keeping the old one for spare parts, or even selling it off to someone who doesn't care whether or not it's banned because it'll stay offline either way. After the current gen systems hit the market the prices went down so low that fixing broken systems became more of a hobby and less of an investment. There's over a 100 million 360/PS3 consoles out there, we're not going to hit a shortage of supply anytime soon, you could build the next Great Wall with all of those systems that are gathering dust in warehouses, waiting for new owners.
