theres always one that intends to bitch in a topic, you seem to be the one. if you read the first post, its the fact someone is using someone elses work to make a profit, who cares if it puts bread onto the table, if you want to make money, get a job, don't waste time buying and modifying xboxes and placing them on ebay for a stupid amount of money. Even when he was contacted about the 10gb hard drive, the person selling it had no intentions to supply the hdd key so it could be unlock. he contacted him for a reason, to make sure he wasn't going to be ripped off. I think anyone clever enough would do the same, unless you have plenty of cash to spare for a hard drive that will not work.
why would i need to sell shit on ebay, i have a job and i don't need to sell my stereo, tv, kitchen sink, dishwasher, carpets, light blubs, radiators, mobile phones, computer, xbox, hard drives, floopy disk, toilet, doors to put bread on the table, i have better intentions than to sit at home and soldering a £15 chip onto a motherboard, and replace a hard drive, waste hours copying shitloads of games, and take credit for hours of work put into making software for you to use free, have respect for these programmers, if it wasn't for them, the xbox console would be a piece of shit.
