I looked around and didn't see an answer.
I have an Xbox,white one, made in 2009 July 13 according to the born-on date.
Currently I live in China. And I use the local Xbox games bought from a local store.
A few weeks ago I bought a game and it updated the machine and bricked it, so I took it to the guy at the store and for about $20 USD in local currency he reflashed it for me.
When I bought the Box in China the dude flashed it for me. I watched him, took about 15 minutes.
It didn't look very complicated. Took it apart and hooked the dvd drive up to a computer and ran a program from the usb it seemed.
The guy at the game store today told me that if I want to play Gears Of War 3 I need a new flash that just came out and he will charge me $15.
So, can I do this myself and WHERE can I find detailed instructions and the newest flash mods.
I am technical and handy and prefer to do things myself. Also being in China there are no legit game stores only "local" versions that require a flashed Box.
Thanks.
