Recently got accepted by THQ and Ubisoft to do editorials and stuff for there games, there gonna be sending me out beta copies but they said I need a 360 debug version, well I cant afford one of them.. nor a license, is there any thing which I can buy which will allow me to play these beta's with a premium 360?


Ive never come accross betas before but the answer is most probably no. If you think about it, the debug version 360 wouldnt be so expensive if you could just use a premium 360 with a chip  tongue.gif .

Would the Xeno Connectivity Kit work?


That kit is for linking the Hard drive and DVD drive in the 360 to your PC, i dont understand how that would help you play betas on the 360.

Also, who is it that you work for? It just seems a little odd that THQ and Ubisoft would be happily sending you betas  jester.gif

Hey guys,

You need a dev kit.  No way around it.

You cannot run unsigned code on a xbox 360 at this time.  There is not a modchip available to allow you to do so.

What??
So they want you to do reviews and stuff and you don't have the equipment to run the beta versions.
Just exactly who gave you the job?
Sounds far fetched to me.
Its like a car company asking somebody with no drivers license to review development cars they give them
