By updating the console with JRunner.
I also wrote a tut on it here.
Bookmark that thread in case you ever need to update it again.

FSD is pretty much self updatable (requires you to press A a couple of times) if you connect your 360 to the internet.
Game updates are also easy to do with FSD if you got it connected with Internet.
Game covers are downloaded automatically once you scan for your games in FSD ;]
If you install FSD exactly like I did in the tutorial then you got nothing to worry about.

Some people are just incredibly fucking stupid.
The first thing they do is blurt out nonsense and write negative feedback since their to fucking lazy to read or search or even bloody ask for a fucking answer to their fucking problem.
Those people don't deserve hacked consoles.

Nvm that, I just felt the urge to write it down ;p

So its that easy?? Wait i just looked at the tut and it looks.. a little challenging. But hey at least theres a solution.

Is FSD another method for that?

All you need to do is just input your NAND + CPU key and click a few buttons ;p


FSD is a replacement dashboard.
I liked it twice in this thread I believe and I hope you clicked on it and read through it...
It offers far more options and looks far nicer then the official MS dash.

Well i could do that. And that probably wont happen since i guess that feedback was just from someone who isnt reading anything.

Aye exactly ;]

It's really really hard to brick your 360.
Even if you screw up the NAND flashing.
XeLL (program that is at the beginning of the boot if you press Eject) will be in place and you'll be able to recover it.
And even if you screw up XeLL, you can bring it back to the store and ask the guy to flash your NAND back to the console (do tell them you tried updating to that particular dash version)

If you read the tut carefully, the chances of things going wrong is almost zero.
The only real danger is losing power.
But that can also happen on retail consoles ;p

Aye aye.
Feel free to PM if you got any questions ;]
Or make a thread indeed.

Humm...
Well, I hope they cleaned it from dust.
Other then that...
Not really.
the DVD drive might be slightly bad but you won't need it that much anyway.

Sorry to bother you again but i saw this one ad and its pretty cheap cause it has a rockband set but no kinect and is a Elite Jasper model.
Is that an ok model? You said anything beyond 2008 is ok. He said it was bought on 2010. And is a 2009 model.

Seems that that is just a flashed drive.
You'll need to patch your backups with ABGX and burn them to a Verbatim DVD with a special burner.

I'd still go for the RGH'd 360.
Or JTAG whatever they advertise with it.

So that ad isnt RGH or JTAG? Thought it was a jtag. What is it then? It can play downloaded games right?

Best is to get a JTAG advertised console.
Might cost more but the advantage of it is enormous.

Excellent topic to be honest, contains a lot of the questions I'm having myself trying to buy a console now. Leaning towards the 360, it's cheaper and I have more faith in Microsoft than Sony.
This topic will help heaps.

Basically, if you like shooters and westernized games, go with the 360.
If you like RPG's and Japanese games, PS3 is the best.

I personally dislike PSN, it's slow and cluttered.
But the pricing and free games with PSPlus is neat
XBL is expensive but a better service imho.
You can occasionaly get free games as well.
I dun bother with multiplayer gaming tho ;p

Hacking wise, the 360 wins hands down.
Easier and more options.

That last factor will most likely be the deciding one for me, I really don't want to pay for any games if possible.

Ok sorry to post here again but I saw this ad selling arcade edition: http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/v...h+Ranking,Position,1-7,7#advertisementDetails
Are arcade editions safe? The seller said it was modified 2010. Can it play new games?

Also, if I buy a brand new one which is a slim type, thats hackable right?

Im still undecided if im gonna buy used or a brand new one.

Let me teach you a trick. Simply buy games on Sony Entertainment Online Store and use Download List on PS3 to download bought games. That way you don't need to use PSN Browser.

Regardless of X360 or PS3, you will spent at least some money on hacking it.

Both are true only if the PS3 is on 3.55+.
I have a PS3 Slim I've had since 2009 and haven't spent a cent or more than 10 minutes to get Rebug 4.46 running on it.
The only thing the Xbox has going for it, in my opinion, is it being harder to detect on Live and having smaller games (so you don't have to wait 2 days to d/l a game/spend 25 gigs of memory per game (some games like God of War 3 can go up to 50)).
So, if you have a 3.41/3.42/3.55 PS3, it'll be a lot easier to hack and cheaper.
