They probably wouldve been fine until they preloaded 77 games to the harddrive and tried to sell it. You can make whatever mod you want to a system once you own it.

The straw that broke the camel's back per say?

Or just idiots. If your doing something THAT dumb its only a matter or time before you get caught. Plus since its already modded let the kids go and rent thier own video games to move to harddrive.



Any game I cant find via the intranet thingie I get from the video store at 99 cents a night and move for later playing use (cant really beat a game in a single night unless I work at it.) I dont generally keep games on my HD anyway. Once I beat a game its rare that ill go back and play it again unless its an RPG like kotor2 or similar.

Had a friend who was buying broken x-boxes off e-bay, replacing the disfunctional dvd-drive, or hard drive (which he'd do anyways), modding them, and them selling them for insane profits. Last I knew, however, paypal had closed his account down with about $3k in it and he was in the process of trying to get it out. AFAIK, he still dosen't know exactly why his account was supspended.



I'm actually looking at getting one of the PS2 lids, which looks like an easy mod that will let me use a boot cd, but since I don't have a dvd burner atm, It'd be kind of pointless.
