Spotted-horse - No More Modchips
« on: March 03, 2003, 06:20:00 AM »

With all these sites being shut down (ISOnews, ect.) and Spotted Horse giving up on mod chips, will XBOX-SCENE be next? Are there any threats? We hope not!!!

The owner of Spotted Horse was not threatened nor being sued. He just cancelled the business because he was busy with his private life. Modchips was just his hobby.

QUOTE
Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share.  I have decided to no longer offer modchips on spotted horse.com, although this site will continue to exist in another form.  Maybe one day, when the laws surrounding Modchips for consoles have been made more definitive and less open to interpretation, sales will begin again.  I personally believe that modchips should be used to enhance the experience of a gaming system, not to circumvent copyright laws.  I continually support console makers and game developers by purchasing their systems and games, because without our support, there would be no games.


Its getting hard to get your hands on a chip anymore.

X-S is the best, I'd hate to see this one go.

This has already been discussed in the General Chat forum.

X-S does not sell chips. Xant is not American, is not in America, and will be shipping Cromwell loaded X2Ls.

Spotted-Horse made a bad decision, IMO, but it was probably more related to tight margins and wanting a private life. GotMod's owner had the same issues.

X2Ps will be readily available, and I suspect Lites will be around in the near future as Cromwell-based mods (hopefully, including the Linux/raincoat on disc)

Blueinfinity, you've got the right idea. I'm pretty much picking up where Spotted left on, currently only on the Matrix chips, but I'll have the X2 Pro's soon. My prices may even go down cheaper than Spotted. So if you want a Matrix chip, head on over to

mljonesmods.netfirms.com

How are you getting these chips? Easybuy2000 hasn't shipped ANY yet, AFAIK.
