i think they use modchips in the refurb process, so.... i mean there's lpc points and all, i dont think they'd have them there unless it was used during mfg or rfb process

I doubt bill personally has a mod, but im sure MS has purchased them to improve their anti-piracy tactics.

Signatures do get copied over, but a HD signature (e.g. MS dash) is different from a pressed DVD signature which is different from a DVD-R signature (if one exists) and so on, even if the XBE is otherwise identical

I think Bill Gates is the kinda of guy who lives by the motto.. know thy enemy.. so based on that thinking.. he likely has at least one chipped unit somewhere.

i dont wanna offened anyone here, but have you any idea how stupid that sounds???
Your saying that MS sumhow made an xbox without a modchip, and then, modchips were made so m$ decided to start refurbing them using modchips???
Modchips us the LPC because the LPC is a development port that M$ use to develop the xbox and to check everything is ok wiv the xbox, it is a port used by m$, not just by modchips so that m$ can refurb boxes....

he's close... the lpc port is used during the final stages of manufacturing to load an alternate firmware that does a check on the Xbox using its own CPU... that way M$ doesn't need expensive testing machine...

Think back to Michael Jordan. Yes he wasnt the owner of the Wizards but he had a high office job and still played with the team. So technically that analogy is true smile.gif

No they don't, but they do play a game of bb once in a while don't they?

I mean, Bill Gates doesn't develop Xbox-stuff, but he sure as hell has an Xbox, more than one probably. And I'm sure he has seen what a modchip can do at least once.

I agree, they probably let him take home an XDK unit or two. He probably has at least one of each LE box as well, (including that blue DOA one that I want), and I'm sure there's a few Xboxes out there signed by him.

Bill Gates has an xbox 2 with virtual 3D glasses, brain implanted surround sound, the new M$--- er i mean, Xecuter xbox 2 chip (which will be released shortly after the xbox 2), voice activated everything, a hands free beer holder, a seat which moves with the game, and can also be used as a dunny for those tight moments on Halo 4 when you know that with 2 more frags you can win the match, and can't be bothered getting up and leaving.

On top of that he streams games from a pay per play, beta type Xbox Live server for 1 gigabyte per second connections only.

Either that, or he is a full grown man who has more important things to do than to sit down and play on the xbox, of which i am sure he has seen and heard more than enough of.

I voted he'd probably have a modded box, but now that I thought about it more, I changed my mind. I doubt he even has one. I'm sure he get's them as freebies, but he probably gives them out to family and friends and charities and stuff. I doubt he has enough free time and/or interest to play video games

With the money he has why do you think he would ever need a modchip? Don't you know that he gets all xbox games for free

and anyone who thinks he doesnt have a modded xbox

people that write anti virus software have to design the virus first
so for ms to put a protection on newer games they would need a modded xbox
dont be surprised if soon we see games formatting the f or g drive or both
but i doubt it,  as much as billy boy hates piracy, do you think he will succeed?
he KNOWS he wont stop modders.  noone will.  for every employee he has doing the security research and impliminting, there are prolly like 3-4(being very liberal with low number here) trying to find the work around.  he knows he has a good thing or it wouldnt be getting modded.  same as bungie, they know halo hacking exists, as they knew people were hacking earlier games, it adds life to their games.  if you buying 1 copy of halo 2, playing it for a month to beat it then a few more months of live play then a year of hacking, they know they built a winner

The digital signature for the game does get carried over (AFAIK)
the problem is the digital signature does not merely tell the xbox that the game can be run but it also tells the xbox what it can run from
eg the signature in retail games tell the xbox that the game can only be run from the super dooper special xbox game disks.
