Seems like an awesome tool, im very much loving it. The only thing im not loving is the price here in scandinavia. It will cost me more than 82 USD if i buy it here  While in america it only costs 44.95$. And even if i order if from .us, i will have to pay 25% tax pluss 30$ for getting it through customs so thats like 86$. I wish the price here in scandinavia was abit less than 82 us $ cause its alot of money......
If it had cost 44.95$ here i would have bought it right now.

Prices taken from divieno .us and divineo sweden.

Other than that, great tool indeed, but ill take my box to my friends (who has a supported s-ata chipset) house for now since its alot cheaper

So um, what exactly does this thing do? I have noticed a lot of the XBOX360 products now list lots of features and pictures, but neglect the simple one sentence explanation of what the damn thing actually does.

I'll go to the site and read up, (so don't bother flaming)  but really - basic marketing 101, state clearly what the product does as the first thing in an announcement.

I found a similar product (and it is PLug n' Play aswell), for $19.95, so why does the Xecuter cost so much?

http://www.buyextras...hiquusbtos.html <-19.95 USB to ATA/SATA adapter

*EDIT*
Ok, I think Im confused, SATA cable is for the HD, not the DVD Drive right? Whats the cable on the back of the xbox 360's DVD Drive called (not the power cable, the other one).

XSATA is only $30... why waste $15 more on this???

Hi. I'm a complete noob in the modding scene, so i just have a few simple questions that for shure are very easy for you guys to answer.

What is the differences between this product and the Xsata?      http://www.play.com/...ta/Product.html

I need a device that lets me connect my xbox360 to my PC/laptop. I will use it mainly to copy options files from games and for storing demos and stuff in the PC.
My 360 has an Hitachi drive which is the one that works with this Xecuter X360 USB, right?
But i don't know if i'll mood the firmware DVD drive, cause i'm afraid of being banned from XBL, or is it save?

So, does the Xecuter X360 USB let me transfer stuff to my PC and option files from my PC to the 360?
But as the Xsata already does that, what more can i get from the Xecuter X360 USB?

Thank you

Yes, you have the right DVD Drive, infact Hitachi is the only drive this will work for at the moment, as far as transfering stuff to the PC or viceversa, I dont know, I thought it was just for flashing the firmware on the DVD drive. The SATA connector kit that comes with it you can I beleive.

I just looked at that XSATA thing, and its pretty cool looking and stuff, but the difference is this does pretty much everything, HD & DVD firmware. XSATA just lets you in the HD I think.

[thisempty]

Would this product allow to flash the firmware and play pirated games offline and then reflash with the original firmware when i want to play original games on XBL?
If yes, would it be a simple procedure to make?

Basically, are there any benefits with this product for a person that plays online 80% of the time?

That was a different product which allowed you to not open your case each time you needed to flash your drive.  
It only has to be installed once...  It's not a product to save your warranty.  

This product is already straight forward and I think the pics in this post already show everything.

Brilliant packaging too.  

I know it was a different product but it comes free with this and they said they are not selling it seperatly at the moment.  That is what I want a update on.  The pictures show nothing of how this is going to be installed?

[stanneh]

anychance these are gonna burn out too cos the first drive adapters i got 2 of burnt out after doing just a couple of drives taking out a drive each with them and it happened once to my friend.

the cost of using those adapters was insane for us lets hope this thing doesnt do the same.

Could somebody help me?  Which is the ususal drive which is in new xbox 360's in the UK.

I don't believe there is a standard, you'll just have to buy one and see what you get.  No matter which drive you get, there are options for modding it.

 is it easy to flash the drive using this device?

Should be very easy, but since none of us have one yet...

[devilstrider]

So does this switch the drive to mode b automactilly?

no. you press the modeb button.

some ppl may use this with a samsung drive (without the usb) and modeb is not required

from plugging in the drive to usb and flashing using birdys flasher - id say 10 seconds tops

The Xsata is for connecting your Xbox 360 Hard Drive to your PC. Thats it.

My post above explains everything else X360 USB does.

QUOTE(wmxp @ Sep 3 2006, 07:03 AM)

I see the usefulness of the Connectivity Kit portion of this package, but how does the X360 USB itself differ from any run of the mill SATA to USB connector that you can purchase anywhere on the internet for a fraction of the price?

Its not a fraction of the price when you consider we also supply a device that does the same as Xsata ($30 value) and also the Connectivity Kit V2 (v1 value was $29.95)

Also we designed this to work specifically with the Xbox360 - and we are able to give support for that product in that area - you wont get that with others - with X360 USB you are GUARANTEED it will work and you get the full kit along with it too.

Now I would say its far more appealing. if you don't think so then then good luck anyway

You are talking about the Blaster360

And you are correct the pictures do not show how it will be installed

All in good time, im working hard to get it ready for Xmas

FYI its REALLY easy

omg diveno is a bunch of cheapskapes, $10 bucks for shipping when it weighs almost nothing and they try and pull u in the $5 rebate. all i can say is fuck that. I got a $30 pci sata card that looks cool and it mite work if i could find the slax cd to get my drive into mode b.

I always laugh when ppl complain about spending a few bucks in order to save $000's

anyway my friend - you dont have to buy from Divineo - others have it in stock (however I must say $10 for 0.30kilos next day in the usa is pretty good)

in fact you dont have to buy it at all - good luck with your sata card - I wish you every success

nice tool, not that I'll be using it. Good adition for the home pirates (no offence to TX but thats what it'll mainly be used for).

I take no offence. You think the majority of the scene used my bios's and mods solely for homebrew and emulators ?
