Don't think there is a chip yet, you have to flash the firmware on the DVD drive.

Free?

Well I love mine yet I hardly bloody play the thing lol. Too busy on the net on an evening and I prefer it on my PC monitor as it plays in HD. The TV sucks!

Not been big into my games really for a few years now, just certain titles, but the 360 is reigniting my passion. I fancy the new Smackdown as well as the new Splinter Cell and also Need for Speed Carbon.

You can get the games for nothing if you've got half a brain!

But nah I will pay for my games as I want a fair whack of gear worth something to sell when the time comes.

But what about Xbox live if you have them chipped, does it still work?

Agree with what GTI is saying regards PC's but it’s a nightmare with compatibility issues left right and centre. Last two PC games a bought new wouldn’t work and I had to download cracks to play them

Ranj you fat coont, you can flash any drive and not just the samsungs. My mate flashed mine and I can go online and play copied games no problem.

Now hook me up with all the games for a tenner as I only have PGR3 and MotoGP.
