Hello

Well, I am in Holland right now. And unfortunately have to go again next week (I think).

So I can get one for someone if they wish. Probably Bravo if you want as you live a few miles away....

I want to get a X-box and mod chip. Would I be best buying a pre-chipped one or just get a new one from Amazon and then buy my mod chip. I'm looking at getting the X-bit chip.

any links would help. Thanks

Hello

As mentioned above, the cheapest place for a modchip seems to be www.baldbouncer.co.uk. Although the IT people at work had a few raised eyebrows that I was going to the URL, they were surprised it was for modchips .. !

I looked around all the high street and a few online places, the prices seem to be pretty even, Game however, seems to be the best as audiman mentioned.

I got goth 2 and xbox for £159, for a tenner more you can get the games he mentioned, don't think you'll get better than that.

Be warned though if you wanna go online, you have to buy a live starter kit which is £39.99, and if you wanna watch dvd's you have to get a plug in and remote, which is er you guessed it £39.99, they're abit cheeky like that, extortion, well what else would you expect from bill eh!
