The first problem you encouter is using a DVD Remote kit, to playback your movies, the OS on the xenium simply will not boot when it is plugged. (Great guys, its so uncommon we own these, is it?)

Fixed in New OS.

| Thinkin of that, you might think "hey i use my controller anyways", well here's the next problem comming, you cannot have 2 controllers plugged in at boot, else the OS will not load. (oh yeah, play alone or i wont boot, fuckchip) |
All of mine boot with more than one controller plugged in. The have been reports of non-standard controller causing the chip to barf.. but that too had been addressed in the new OS.

| Now this is annoying as @!#", and the OS itself looks ugly (low-res) |
Well.. I can't argue with you on that one. I don't like the name.. or tha pics they chose. However.. the low rez issue was about saving space. High Rez pics = more space taken. And they have big plans for additions to the os.

| After that, i thought that auto-loading a bios be a nice feature, but alas, Xenium OS does not offer this, it will still boot its crappy "OS" and you see it for a second, then it boots a bios you selected. |
ok.. we get the idea.. you don't like seeing XENIUM every time. Gotcha.
Set the Chip to boot bank one, Quickstart, and 0 seconds wait.. and you really won't notice it boot. If that second you blink and see the xenium screen bothers you.. you honestly need to sell that chip to someone else.

| I do not feel like pressing a button each time i boot, nor do i feel like seeing a lame "OS" advertising for a modchip i already paid for. This leads to frustration. |
Well.. all my personal XBOX' are Xecuter chipped.. and they all have X2 bios.. so I see their ad every time I boot. I don;t flip out on them for making a good chip and bios.
Bt the same token.. I bought a Corolla a few years back.. I don't flip out and bitch because eveytime I sit down and drive it their logo is on the steering wheel.

| Without adding a switch to it, you have to pass this awfull "OS" aswell if you want to switch to retail. (oh my god, what went wrong here?) |
Nothing went "wrong" there. It was a design decision. Some like it.. some don't. No chip will make anyone 100% happy. Something is always compromised. People have the option of installing a switch.. or not using this chip. It isn't an issue. The chip in that case worked as advertised.

| It boots slower then a cheapmod (due to that stupid "OS") |
What are you doing to cheapmods that makes them boot slow? There is nothing to a cheapmod. They work fine.. but that are also a no frills options. One still available to you.
| QUOTE |
And on top of that it costs more than a cheapmod.
|
If you were upset about the cost of the chip.. why buy it? Is there any retail chip that is cheaper than a cheapmod?

| This product is soooooo fucking lame, everyone should be shot for having bought it (those whom didnt know this) |
...your post goes down hill from there.. it does sound you are a little high strung.. and seem to be taking this all a little to seriously.

| Why is there _NO_ information about these problems on the website? |
I found information on their site about the controller issues.. (even though I have not had the problem you sicted) and I know they've mentioned the OS update. Honestly.. you need to try harder.
I hope that if you keep the chip.. you try the OS update. From reports.. it'll provide some nice fixes to certain issues.
For the first version of this modified linux OS... it's done well. Not perfect.. but then.. nothing is.
Now.. onto what others said to you.. I find it hard to beleive that you would buy that chip.. and had not read the reported problems.. or read Xantiums review of the chips. Surely.. you knew before buying the chip that looking at the Xenium Screen was going to become part of your XBOX using life with this chip. You'd also know of the slight boot delay.. and that the Xenium OS boots bfirst even when you just want to boot the stock bios. Given your intelligence.. (reported) and the wealth of info already available.. something about your comments just doesn't seem to ring true.
Did you actually buy a chip? Knowing all of the above? After all.. you aren't someone new to all of this... and with all this info.. you are still disappointed that the chip produced those results for you? (forgive the run-on sentence)
You are welcome to your opinions. It's just that either the tone of them.. or something else about your post.. just doesn't ring true.)
