I have ordered from them twice.

1st time I ordered a svideo to RGB converter and regular xbox scart connector. They messed up the order and sent me xbox extension cords instead of the scart connector. But I emailed them and they fixed the order.

2nd time I ordered a flash linker and a x2.3 pro and decided to cancel the order. They already shipped the flash linker so they couldn't cancel the flash linker order but they could cancel the x2.3 pro. But I had to email them three times after that for them to reimburse my paypal account and it took about 2 week for that to happen.

Overall I am satisfied that they atleast stand by their service. It may take some time but if you keep reminding them they will get around to it.

However I would probably order from someone else next time because it seems they get orders wrong a lot.

I ordered an Xecuter lite 2.3b + from these guys on 12/23, and received an email saying it would be shipped on 12/29 and to expect 2-3 days shipping.  It showed up at my house via USPS on 12/27.  After I placed my order I had a question, and they replied quickly via e-mail.  

I had a good experience dealing with these guys.  I picked them because they were the only site I found with  Xecuter lite 2.3b + in stock, and I have bad experiences pre-ordering things in general.

I was going to pre order a chip from them, but there is something in the return policy that scares me.  see the item in red. If i preorder my chip and decide to go somewhere else in the meantime, they will charge me a 33% restocking fee?  if they don't have the item (thus the preorder) what the heck are they restocking????

Now known as http://system-modz.com and listed in this webshop rating thread here.

Keep in mind that the legitimate www.system-mods.com is in no way affiliated with the-console-corner.com or with system-modz.

In fact.. the legitimate SMT (www.system-mods.com) is now pursuing litigation against them (suing them) for trademark infringing practices.

People should be careful when dealing with system-modz.

There is no record of that item. If it was mailed recently, information may not yet be available. Please try again later.



I have emailed the console corner about it and this is the message I got back:

It is USPS & allow 24hr. for the tracking to show online. You can go to
our shipping page, there is a link to track there.


So, I will wait a few more days before I cancel my order.  I don't have time for this.  Don't promise 2-3 day shipping if you cannot deliver in that time.

Will keep you posted with my progress.

I would like to know the status of my order. As of today I haven't received any information. I can understand not having a tracking number if it hasn't shipped but I would think that you're company would at least have an order number on file. I would appreciate any help or response i could get at this time. Thank You.

As I stated above and in both e-mails (and the phone message) I sent them, I ordered and paid for two mods, but they only shipped me one.  I got a very brief response from them a few days ago.  Here it is.  I kind of get the impression that they didn't read the whole e-mail and just assumed that I was waiting for a new order to ship.  I haven't received a tracking number or any shipping confrimation for the second shipment yet.  I'd hesitate before placing with these guys.  They don't quite seem to have it together.

Here's the e-mail they sent:

Lites shipped today & tomorrow

Still awaiting your response.  Please respond soon.  As I stated in an
e-mail sent January 9, I ordered two 2.3b lites, and only received one.
Please respond to this e-mail, and ship a second mod to complete my
order.
I have e-mailed and left a message at the phone number listed below, but
have not received any response.  In the interim, you have made two
postings to your website indicating that you have a limited number of 2.3b lites
in stock.  Please respond before you ship all of those and leave me waiting
indefinitely for my order to be completed.

Thanks

It took a while for everyone to get on the same page, but they took care of me.  I'd recommend them.

Everyone!!!!!!!, I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Fast service, great responce on email, and I'm talking about sending a message and getting a responce back in a few mins. This place backs up it's product and doesn't jerk you around. I strayed away one from console corner and got jerk around from GameshopUSA for 11 days, never got the product, later emails and their AIM serves BLOWS, STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE, I LEARND MY LESSON. I'll never stray from the corner again.


Watching out for everyone,

I just wanted to add to the list of customers for console corner.

I have had NOTHING BUT GREAT relations with this site.  I have purchased pretty much all of my stock from them and they have shipped out fast, given great prices and set me on my way in every moment of purchases.

I can only say deal with them and things will be fine.    And it is true about some tracking numbers that they don't get valid to check online after a little while, so give it a chance.
I've mailed out systems and they've gotten the package before the tracking number was even validated online.  So just an example.

Keep up the good sales and all the good work tcc.

ordered Tuesday and received by Friday! Damn, you guys are on top of your game!  I've placed about six orders or so with the-console-corner, and have never had a problem.  I've only ordered from other places if they run out of something that I need right away.

Got the chip I ordered without a prob.  Paid the $5 for shipping and got the $1.14 first class envelope.  Thats kinda the only bad thing I can say.  Priority shipping is pretty much the norm everywhere for good reason.  It took this chip 4 days to get here and he is only 2 hours away from me.  The sad thing is that I could probably get it cheaper (no sales tax) and faster (they use priority) from another place 2 states away.

Well, As I said be4 I placed my order on Jan. 21 and got the auto order confirm e-mail. I saw the money was fully charged to my bank account on Friday (Jan 23) so I assume thats when my order was sent out.
So when I woke up earlier today (Jan 26) and still found no tracking number or shipping confirmation in my email I was slightly distressed.
But be4 I could get too upset, <screek> I hear my mailbox lid open outside and when I go to chek, YAY!, my X-Ecuter 2.3b Pro is at my door!

So if you ask me, these guys are GREAT! Super delivery time (over the weekend and THROUGH A SNOWSTORM TO BOOT!), prompt service and efficient billing system make this place A++ in my book!

Thanks console corner!
And keep up the good work!

**an important message i have to share to everyone is the tracker number when you get....you may not get ANY info upwards of 2 weeks.  i've sent 3 items just recently to my ebay customers and when i kept track of the tracker numbers it did not show up for around a week and a half.  i guess usps can be slow like that.

I have bought 1 ps2 magic 3.1 chip and this is the 3rd xbox mod chip. Was waiting for the 2.3b lite but got the new xenium because i couldnt wait. Ordered yesterday, hope it comes soon.

Got a 2.3a from there which was ok but i didnt know there was a diff untill i got it.

No paypal anymore which sucks because its what i try to only use.

BAD NEWS!!!!! This guy is a major FRAUD, ordered next day air, waited a week prommised it would ship that week.  I waited another week and told him to refund my card he said he did and charged me a 15% cancelation fee!!!!  I told him i would dispute the charge, then he said he was going to RE-Charge my card, and ship it anyway!  This guy is a rip off!  I had to cancel my card, i was worried he would scam it!  Be afraid, be very afraid!  See attached emails ( start at the bottom and work your way up:

It is not illegal if it is how do you pre-order from Best Buy? There is a clasue for Pre-Order items. When you bithced & would not wait there was no sotkc. Now I have stock & our deal is done. You also agreed to a 33% re-stocking fee but I was nice & only charged you the 15%. If you only would have waited & readu our news updates, instead of blowing off your steam by email, you order would be in tranist now. We have no further buisness, I have refunded as you agreed by email. I have the copt of your confirmation if you like.

This is nice, a retailer that lies.  You know as well as I do when I ordered there was NO SUCH MESSAGE, if there was why the hell do you think ive been emailing you everyday and asking why you havn't shipped!  Now I will be forced to decline the charge on my card, you know it’s illegal to charge my card before the item ships read your CC Merchant agreement, if I do not receive a reply that you are refunding my money by tonight I will file the claim.  



P.S. a cancellation fee for a backordered item, give me a break.

Order Number 9292

Ordered 6 X2.3b Pros on 2/4/04 and got the auto-response. Card was processed on same day.  Package was probably shipped out the next day as I recieved package on 2/6/04. I did not get any tracking numbers. Obviously I chose Next Day shipping on got the standard USPS envelope that showed me shipping cost of 13.65. I payed 29.00 for shipping, im in west coast. Other than that im pleased as all the chips work so far! (2 more to do) So I would do business again but shipping seems a little spendy and only USPS .

ohmy.gif i purchased an xecuter 2.3b lite + from the console corner last wednesday with priority shipping that costed me an extra 22 bucks, and still no modchip. funny thing is, i live in michigan and this douche bag lives in ohio, so i'd like to hear his excuse on why this is taking so damn long. so note to everyone, use basic shipping or he will rip you off.

i'll be driving through ohio this weekend for a track meet, maybe i should pay the console corner a visit with a friend by the name of "louisville slugger."

what i learned?

I ordered an xecuter 2.3 lite and some wires which took about 5 days for standard shipping. The tracking number worked fine. The chip came in a bubble wrap envelope which is probably the only complaint that I have. Maybe a small box would be better.

Ordered a chip through them for a demonstation to a group of gamers.  I asked that they notify me if it couldn't ship by Wednesday to ensure I get it for the weekend.  Didn't get a notification for the delay, didn't get the chip.

Made a total of 2 orders from TCC, and was satisfied with both of them.  Don't know the exact shipping time, but I do know that I got the stuff in the time-frame promised (or I'd remember being pissed about it).  Every time I asked a question, they got back to me almost immediatly.  I plan to be a returning customer for all my personal modding needs.

then I found out that my chip had been returned to sender because of an incorrect address.
I e-mailed console corner with several questios they responded only to what they wanted and ignored the rest.
At first I felt HORRIBLE! they sent me an e-mail showing my shipping/billing addresses and I thought it was my fault.

  That is untill I rememberd that my billing address and my shipping address were
different when I submitted my order!!!  uhh.gif  hmmm how did this happen?

 I almost fell for a copy paste con laugh.gif

 Still havent recieved my chip and its been about two weeks
Also I havent gotten any responses back from e-mails asking that a replacement be shipped out next day for all the dramma.

 I will post again when/if I ever get my chip from them

The tracking number doesnt seem to work yet but i guess it need 24hrs to register. I hope i recieve my order correct and in time. The problem is that I dont live in the states, I live in Lebanon, so I cant do anything if things go wrong sad.gif

Second time with them, and last time i order from them

I sent him the payment for 2 X2.3 B lite modchips on july 15th, and i'm still waiting my order.
I sent him a few email since a couple of days, and he never replied.
And i don't have any order number, i asked him to be refund, told me that the item would be ship friday, july 30th, and still waiting for them. Also a month now that payment is sent.


Damn, I hate to be RIPPED OFFF. Comon. I

AVOID  www.the-console-corner.com !! They sell bad stuff all the time.
I have had lots of problems with console corner. First, I ordered 30 aladdin advance 64 chips from them and all the sockets for the SST chip dont fit right. You have to squeze the chip in place in the socket for it to boot. Once you let go no boot.  So I just hard wire all the SST's onto the board and throw away the aladdins. Second, I ordered 2 LCD displays and clearly told him via email that I needed a green LCD. Well first he sent a blue one. I was mad but needed to get the xbox done so I decided to use it anyway. Well, it didnt work at all. Sent it back told him again that he sent the wrong part and to please send me a green one this time. Well, I got the other display and it was blue. Needless to say I was pissed. So I told my customer that all I could get was blue. He said ok, just get it in. I installed it and it was bad also. Not a good scene because this green halo box was already cut for it. So I sent both back again for a exchange 4 weeks ago and nothing still. I ended up taking the blue display I got from modstore.com out of my xbox and putting it in the halo box. Now I have a big hole in my xbox. I have sent many emails but I keep getting a auto reply that they are moving. I really wish I could find a dealer that has his shit together. I would not recommend the console corner.

PS: If the owner of console corner reads this, please send me my 2 lcd's before I call paypal and report your bad business dealings.

I wish I would have read this before I ordered from them. Its been 10 days and I have not recieved any tracking info at all or indication that my order (#51481) has been shipped. I am located in lower Michigan and they are supposedly in Ohio so it should not have taken so long. My emails have also not been replied to.... I'll keep you guys posted. If console corner rips me off I'll make sure they regret it....

i don't think console corner is trying to rip anyone off just yet.  i believe they've just moved and that's what they're probably still trying to recover from.  they forgot my backordered 120GB Maxtor for like 5-6 weeks ... and all i got back in the form of email from them was a form letter.  i bashed them a bit in one of my threads, sent them the link ... and whatta ya know! ... they got back to me quick sending me a 160GB Seagate plus a Pellican II Wireless for my trouble.

they slo fo sho ... but they came through in the end for me.

now if you're in a hurry, that's an entirely different matter of sorts

the last one i got (the one on top) states that i fax him the packing slip and he would have it resolved today(monday) well as i stated i did not get a packaging slip with my order so i replied to the last email on saturday night telling him that i cannot fax a packing slip as i never recieved one. i got no reply from him today (which is monday the day it was supposed to get "resolved".  i paid more for the lcd screen than i did for the fan and cathode tube combined, id just like to get all i paid for. ive ordered from the console corner twice before (one just a week before this order) and both went very smoothly. now this happens.

is their anyone that can help me?

I ordered a Xenium Solderless Kit, got my order number generated instantly but there was no shipping number. It didn't come after a week. I had paid 22$ US to have it shipped express, but I guess that was wasted. Fired off an email that went unanswered. Fired off another email a couple days later at a different email address (the old one, not the new one listed on their site) and that one was answered fairly quickly saying it appears the order never went through to shipping, but they had it in stock. The same day, the order was shipped and I had a tracking number (albeit not working). Shipping was quick once the order was shipped, but the whole process was painful and rather lenghty. For all those dealing with TCC, you'll probably get your orders, but it might take a while.

i ordered from them and i went to check the tracking status of my order and it was in ohio, now i live in washington, why the hell would my modchip be shipped to ohio?, other than that the only thing wrong with them would be the fact that they use shitty USPS for shipping.

For only $2.99, the offer was a great deal. Pre-cut, pre-stripped insulated wire in your choice of 10 colors for less than $8 shipped.

Console Corner sent me my 2.6 Lite finally after 3+ weeks.  First they had sent an incorrect, possible ficticious, tracking number then said the 2.6 were backordered after I asked where it was.

SystemMods got me the same chip in four days.  Stay away from ConsoleCorner's shady business practices!

I've had great experiences ordering with the-console-corner.  This time I ordered on Wednesday and it shipped Saturday.  Faster turn around than system-mods.com.  I placed my order with them for an X3 (supposedly "in stock") a week ago and it stilll hasn't shipped.  I even chose 2nd day air on my system-mods purchase..   what a waste.  Pick these guys over system-mods, any day.

Well, I used to chat with the store owner often a few years ago on IRC.  On Oct. 2nd I bought a modchip and pre-ordered Halo 2 from him.  The modchip arrived soon after, worked great, I have no complaints with that, but I have yet to  receive the Halo 2 order.  What's worse is that I've sent several e-mails to him, but I haven't had a responce yet.  I'm not telling anyone to use or not to use The Console Corner, I'm just documenting my experience.  I don't think he is trying to rip me or anyone off, but the shipping delays and lack of communcation isn't good.  I just hope I get a refund or the game (PayPal has offically said I'm on my own =).

October the 1. i ordered two Xenium Ice chips and a smartjoy Frag, and I got billed $130 the same day.
I knew the smartjoy frag wasnt in stock yet, so i waited in patience.
Then the arrival date for the smartjoy got pushed back, so i thought about cancelling the whole order, or maybe just the frag thingie. So i sendt a mail with various questions. I did not get a reply, so i thought i could wait.

The 21 of november, i check the site again. By now the smartjoy should be in stock, but no. As far as i could figure out, they were either sold out, or still in backorder.
I wrote them another mail, asking if i could delete my order since the smartjoy frag was not expected for a nother 2-3 weeks. i did not get a reply. But the  next day, I recieved a mail saying "your order has been sendt" ..what the? So they did read my email, but why didnt they send me a reply? Well, anyways, that was almost a month ago now. and i still havent recieved any package. Usually, these orders from the-console-corner take 3-5 days (i live in Norway). So i kinda feel like they fucked me. I've tried calling several times, but i only get their answering-machine. My only hope is that they lable the order as "sendt" just to keep their customers happy. Because its weird how the smartjoy was in backorder, but somehow they "sendt" me a unit the next day.  As far as i know, theres a few (2?) months limit on when you can ask for your money back.

Until this order, i've been doing great business with the console corner. but after this, im never ordering stuff from them again. I feel ripped off.

My two cents.

Before doing business with this company you should read these 2 websites:

OHIO BBB
http://www.cleveland...312000006001024

&

Buyer Ratings
http://www.resellerr...seller4606.html

It seems this company has more than a few problems.

I ordered a pre-moddifed xbox on 12/26/04.
On 12/27/04 their website stated they were closed for the holidays, but answering emails, and will return on 01/03/05.
On 12/29/04 i received a email that my order has been placed.
On 01/03/05 i received a email that stated my order was shipped.
For 2 days i checked www.usps.com to find out when my xbox should arrive. The tracking number came up invalid both times.
I emailed them back on 01/05/05 asking them to confirm the tracking number. I received the following message:

"We are out of the Xbox units & are waiting re-stock. That is your
assigned tracking & you will receive an email again once the unit is
shipped."

Up until that point there was nothing stated on their website or through any of the emails that they were out of stock. Currently i am waiting on a date they expect to receive more stock.

I understand that they can not please everyone, and i placed my order over the holidays, but before my order was placed, and they grabbed my money from PayPal, i should of been informed they were out of stock. When and if i ever receive my xbox i will never deal with this company again.

PS Don't be fooled by some of the positive replies for this company becasue it is members of the company that are leaving them.

Your Order # 54439 was shipped today. Your shipment tracking code is: 03041560000579929884. Sincerely, Sales Department: the-console-corner


Shipped on 10/27/04 and arrived on 11/01/04.  I got a box with a case Xtender kit, a packing slip, no smartjoy frag.  The packing slip had a handwritten (in red sharpie) words 'backorder' and the smartjoy frag line item was circled.

Since then I have emailed them 5 different times and left three voice mail messages at their contact number.  The last two emails responded to the email address that generated the order/shipment notification AS WELL AS EVERY SINGLE CONTACT ADDRESS on their contact information page.

It has now been almost three months.  Paypal did not refund my transaction at all because there was evidence they had shipped me a package (regardless of it's lack of contents).

They have since restocked the smartjoy frag, sold out again, and now say they have stock of the new Farmer XFPS (a similar device) when you click on the smartjoy frag link... but they have neither sent me one, refunded my $34+shipping, nor even bothered to offer any response to any email (or even a PM on this site).

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS THE-CONSOLE-CORNER.COM, they have zero communication.  They will take your money, fail to deliver your product, and you will be left holding an empty box.  THIS COMPANY IS RUN BY A TROLL.  He takes your money no matter what you order and only offers best effort to fill the order holding your money forever.  YOU WILL LIKELY NOT RECEIVE YOUR ORDER AND WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECEIVE A REFUND.

If you have placed an order in the past 30 days, IMMEDIATELY file a claim with paypal/credit card and get your money back before it's too late.

It has now been 42 days since i have placed my order and i have still not received anything. I gave them one last chance to ship my order by 02/04/05. They stated they were not receiving new xboxes in time to complete my order but would go to Best Buy to buy some more to complete my order. I agreed to this and have been emailing them this week to confirm my order is going out. I sent 3 emails and received nothing. I have  now given them until 02/09/05 to respond and show me proof my order has gone out. If i have not received anything by that time Paypal and the Ohio BBB will be contacted. If the total amount of my order is not refunded i will start to contact all customers they deceived and start to create a class action suti against this company.

what does that even mean? it is horrible english and punctuation, not very professional if you ask me. i recieved that email on the 26th, and the saturday mentioned would have been the 29th.  we exchanged a couple emails with my displeasure with them charging me for something they didn't have (which is illegal). plus sending me fake tracking information.  Their response was they were getting their site fixed up or something andt he tracking number was auto generated....i would think that usps would generate the tracking number...not them but anyhow.

here it is, Feb 10th, and i've sent probably an additional 5-6 emails since their last reply and have heard nothing, i have no idea what is the situation with my package.  i am very close to just filling a claim through paypal to get my money back and take my business elsewhere.

this guys is a joke, i don't care what anyone else has said, DO NOT ORDER from him.  worst experience i've ever had for online shopping.

i give the shop a 0.5/10 simply because they have to be doing something right to be in business for what seems like a while....but they have been horrible with me and have shown zero effort to try and remedy the situation.

I paid for an Xecuter 3, a day later, on June 2, I was told it would ship "in tomorrow's pickup."  I waited, and waited for a shipment confirmation, and after 2 days of badgering them with emails (6th and 7th) they sent me tracking number, showing they didn't ship until the 7th.

From this experience, they seem to have unreliable service/support, and no commitment to customers.

I placed an order there before seeing this forum.  I ordered a product that was supposedly in stock, but after placing the order, I'm informed its out of stock.  So I've been waiting for a refund for 8 days.  Three times I have been told, "sorry about the delay, I'll process your refund right now," but my paypal account shows no refund.

I also have a friend who they sent a bad xecuter, and it wouldn't work, even after trying to re-program with the programmer (another $30).

This was my first order from this company and I have had terrible results. I ordered a mod chip on Oct. 3rd. I recieved all emails and a tracking number as normal.... except... The product was shipped to some place in Latham, New York and I live in Austin, TX!!!!! I don't even know where Latham, NY is! I checked my information and it was all correct they just messed up.

I emailed them and got a very fast response indicating they they were out of chips and would ship one as soon as they arrived. After that nothing. No replies to any emails.

I will be filing a complaint with the Ohio BBB this week and disputing the charges.

I do not suggest doing business with these people.

I emailed them a couple hours ago, no responce yet, and phone them 3 times no answer and it never went to a machine even after letting it ring at least 20 times.

This is not the first problem I've had a problem with them, back around mid Novemeber/05 I tryed to order an xecuter 2.6, they emailed saying it was shipped, end of december came and went, still no chip. I emailed them to complain, they told me they would give me points for the money I spent. That was fine, but I noticed the price of the chip went up. I emailed them to say I wanted more points because of that, and they did it. When I went to order the chip again I relezied that I did not get points for the shipping I paid. Sent off 2 emails about that, never got a responce. So thats when I decided to order the DouX because it was way cheaper and I had enough points to get it, the light and pay the shipping with a tracking number.

I have used they guys lots in the past. I've ordered 3 Xecuter 2.6 and 1 Qoob sx, all seperate orders and times, and all shipped fast and I got what I paid for.

The only reason I bought from them now was because I had the points, if they would have refunded my money I would have bought from another site. I recommened staying away from these guys as there service has gone down the toilet.

Add me to the list!

I too have been scammed by The Console Corner. Order #2240

I made an order using PayPal for an X-Tender v2.0 Case Mod Kit back in January 27, 2006. They gave me the run around with a bunch of emails about delays for this item. I of course believed them and let it ride for a bit. They told me there were delays and my order would arrive soon (I have many, many emails to prove this!). They even said I could have a refund, as soon as I said YES please refund my money, there emails stopped.  In hind site, they just prolonged the order so my 45 day guarantee with PayPal would run out. I have written them numerous emails, and they will not return any. I can still go into my account at there site and it still shows my item as QUEUED. But I think 6 months is too long to be queued. This particular item isn’t back ordered with other sites. Even though the order was only $64.95, it pisses me off that they would steel money from us, while our site endorses them with reviews for there products. In case any Console Corner customer service peeps happen to read this, I would love to here from you. I hope who over see this thread will consider all the unhappy members and apply some pressure to The Consol Corner to make good with our orders or refund our money.

Hey guys, just some info for you.  I have been pursuing a case against the console corner for 3 orders of mine that were not filled.  The owner of this company (steven filipiak), has been sued by SECA (sony) for 6 mil. dollars.  Sony won biggrin.gif   He has also recently filed bankrupcy yet still continues to do business.  He also operates system-mods.com.  DO NOT do any business with any of these companies or you will get ripped off.   BTW, Mr. Filipiak said that he is not going to pay me the money he owes me or send my products.  But hey, being sued by sony for 6 mil in a class action law suit and filing bankruptcy is payment enough for me.  Hope thats working out for you Steve biggrin.gif

I live in Washington state and have never moded before.  I went out and bought a new Xbox. Pre 2003 serial. turned out to be a version 1.1 motherboard.  I then found a web shop which had a good reputation and chose "The Console Corner".  I bought the Xecuter 2 Pro and recieved it in 5 days.  But I was worried I might screw up my new Xbox so I bought the Pogo 2 days later and recieved it in 4 days.  I have since installed both and everything works.  I want to give this site some feedback that matters.  I recommend them 100%.

Bad seller, too! mad.gif

I ordered two mod chips ($160) with normal shipping option,
but it did not arrive for one month.
I cannot know whether they sent chips or not really.
They told me that "We will send another".
Because I wanted to track shipment, I sent extra payment to change
shipping option to USPS Express Mail.
But they gave wrong tracking number, so I cannot track it!
and the shipment don't arrive until today!
I sent some email to them, but they don't reply to my email any more! sad.gif

this guy is a clown.  don't even think about buying the Controller S from this guy.  I just received mine in the mail.  If you go to his website, he lists the thing as "from MS" when in actuality, it's a knockoff of the real thing it came in a plastic bag for crying out loud!  there's no brand on it, and the buttons are of horrible quality.  That kind of advertisement is false and should be illegal.  Plus, none of the stuff come in any kind of official packaging because it's all knockoffs.

I've ordered from him 3 times now and have had good luck each time. However, I did get a bad chip, but that was no problem, I just sent it back (it was an X2 Lite) and he sent me back a X2 Pro!! I was very happy indeed. The exchange went real smooth and I recieved all of my chips in a timely manner. I would definatley do business with him again

Hey guys this is my store :) Thanks for alll the feedback good & bad! I try my best to fill every order as fast as possible and answer every email. It gets kinda rough when your getting 400+ emails a day, but I get back to everybody! If you have purchased from us in the past, we will see you again shortly! We purchase LARGE amounts of chips straght from the Factory, ( Our first 500pc LITE2.1 arrived & pre orders shipped 06-02 & every day since!) We got word this weekend from the factory, that the sweet new PRO 2.1 chips will be in our hands early on 06-13. We may get all pre orders out the 14th, but are promising the 16th & mabey will suprise you! We just started taking Pre Order for the PLUS2.1 due by the 23rd, this ship date is tentative & will most likely be pushed forward! Well enough of the shameless promotion, feel free to stop by & browse around...
Remeber, we get it first...!

Some problems with my order from here.  Here is how it plays out.

06/04/2003:  Placed order.  Paid $88 for 2 X2.1 Lites and $14 for priority shipping.

06/06/2003: Date order was supposed to be shipped.  Was not.

06/07/2003: Spoke to Console Corner and they said they couldn’t get to the post office.  Also... I mentioned the price drop on the chip.  They offered me the difference.  I told them to keep the difference and to ship the chip to me overnight on Monday 06/09/2003 (they said they could ship it overnight for an additional $9). They agreed.

06/10/2003: No package... They said they sent the order on 06/09/2003 via Priority mail.  They said they would refund the difference... which I don't know how much that will be.

Overall... not a good experience.  I purchased these chips from them because I needed them for a install today, forgoing the higher price for the chip and the expensive Priority Shipping.  Now... I had to cancel my appointments for the installs today and wait on this package that will most likely arrive Thurs or Fri.  Oddly enough... I placed another order with System-Mods yesterday 06/09/2003 for some Installs I have this weekend and the order was shipped out yesterday with a tracking number.  Also... I only paid $8 for 3-day Fedex shipping.  What urks me is that I paid over $100 for the chips from Console Corner and the chips I bought for $88 from System-Mods will be here sooner.

Update:  I'm recieving a $9.80 refund.  I think this covers the difference in the chip prices that changed over the course of the weekend.

Yes you are right, not only do they charge four dollars (absurd) but their three day shipping is about eight dollars, while USPS 2 Day Priority is only 3.85.... I know there are some benefits like tracking and insurance (I believe) but it would be nice to have the option between USPS and UPS....

I did not contact them but I would certainly think their answer would be more polite and tactful.....

And again this is not really just about the fees, it's more about the sarcastic and rude attitude....

It's one thing to charge a handling fee, while I don't agree with it it's certainly somewhat understandable, but how can you over charge for shipping, and then ship it using a lesser method than what you charged for ? There's just no excuse for that....

Looks like I had the same experience as many others did

"charge for USPS Priority, then turn around and ship your package via first class mail, which means you get taken for about 5.00 and your order takes a week instead of two or three days"

I ordered mine on a Friday ond had it the next Wednesday. The item arrived safe, the packing was OK, did not take a long time to arrive, but it chaps me that I was hosed on the shipping charge. I do not mind a buck or 2 for packaging charges, but if you say you are shipping Priority, then if you want me to buy something from you in the future you had better use Priority.

I also was going to use googleshack, had some good Emails from them, but I wanted mt chip asap, and googleshack's inventory on 2.1's is't up yet.

In short...

1. Got my chip
2. Chip works great
3. Tracking worked
4. Shipping fiasco will probable "send" me to another seller

I ordered my stuff on Monday June 9th, got an email that day stating that it will ship on the 10th.  I also purchased Priority.  The tracking number I got hasn't been in USPS's system at all (always says they have no record of this item).

This will be the 4th day so that's outside of the 2-3 day request.  If it was backordered, that's fine but a email stating so would have been nice, 400 emails a day or not, keeping people informed will buy you days.

I honestly think Console Corner is a good place to buy stuff from, there is just some work to be done on the shipping side.  I'm not even worried about the shipping prices.  I mean you can't honestly complain about the price of shipping, it IS stated before you confirm your order.  If you don't like what the amount is, then don't purchase from them.

It's just all this "I purchased Priority and got First Class" that really bugs me.  At that point your paying for a service that you did not recieve and that's a real key defense if anybody actually takes some action against it.

Console Corner, great site, you have lots of stuff that people want, just get the shipping right and you won't be able to pull the money in fast enough.  And as you state in your website, you could jump into a big pile of boobies! ha!

Ok, here is the whole deal.   Puts a much better light on this website.

After a week of ordering it, I took the advise that I email him and ask him about it.  Turns out one of my items was out of stock when I ordered and it came in the same day I emailed him about it.  This is either the right timing or a forgotten order, I will give the benefit of the doubt to the Console Corner.

Anyways, he said he shipped it out Monday (June 16th) and to expect it on Wednesday (June 18th).  Low and behold in my mailbox it sat.  And it was sent priority, like I asked.

This has renewed my faith in ordering again, just this time I will go into it knowing that the website isn't updated to the minute with the on-hand inventory.

So, I got my stuff, everything was working 100%.  It was packaged VERY well, and they are the cheapest I have found on a lot of things.  Check them out.  If your not in a hurry and don't mind the possibility that they are out of stock, then I have no problems recommending this place.

Well I ordered a Xecutor 2.1 PRO on the 11 of June and they sent me an email a day later with a USPS tracking number. I tried out the tracking number and to this day June 21 the tracking number still doesn't work.


Please someone clear this up for me I was reading on the website that if you pre ordered a Xecutor 2.1 PRO they will be holding your order a little longer because the new Xecutor 2.2 PRO just got released and instead they will ship you the Xecutor 2.2 PRO . I also saw if you don't want to wait for the new Xecutor 2.2 PRO to be in stock you can just email them to ship you the Xecutor 2.1 PRO when is instock on the 24 of June.


Did I read all of that correct?

Im from australia and will be making a purchase from console-corner soon.... I am gonna order by the cheapest possible shipping(doesnt matter if it takes 2 weeks to get to me really....i guess i can be patient) but i just hope i get it... I dont see the point in paying for expensive shipping as he will probably send it via cheap shipping anyway... Other then that i have sent him emails and he seems very reasonable he said he would repackage items to make the shipping cheaper if i wished(i plan on ordering a dance pad which comes in a big box)...
If i do make an order ill post the results on in under this topic... any last words of advice before i do so...

I just e-mailed consol corner via this forum.  I hoping for a response soon.  Right now I feel very mistreated and feel as if I've been ripped off.

Also on thier website they have a tracking page for priority mail, but I did not recieve a parcal tracking number on my confirmation Page.  How can I track my order without this #.

If consol corner reads this please e-mail me ASAP.

Thanks, 


I will be following up with how the consol corner handles my order on this forum.


You should have received a comfirmation order with a tracking # a day after you ordered your product, if you did not then I don't know what to say but good luck and hope you get it.

Follow Up to my previous post.

My friend and I orderd our chips on Thursday via priority mail.  On Saturday we got an e-mail saying that our order had been with the tracking # for priority mail, but it was a totally bogus tracking #.

On tuesday we recieved our chips, as orderd so we are very happy.  

My only suggestion is that for consol corner to use the correct tracking #'s  I saw some previous posts where other customers recieved bad tracking #'s as well

But consol corner came though on the most important part.  We recieved out chips!  biggrin.gif

I will buy from them again!

The tracking #'s are not bogus, they just take awhile to activate, check the tracking number again and you will see that it says it has been delivered. beerchug.gif

Ub3, or anyone else, please reply if you get a response.  I've emailed them on Monday as well about the Xecutor2.2 Lite+.  At this point, I am no longer worried about the $10 more to get the non plus version and just get the pogo pin connector.  They seem to be having a problem responding to emails.  Lets just hope they are busy.  I also tried sending feedback to them, but that results in an error message saying their server needs Front Page extensions installed, so I emailed there web master letting him know.

Hopefully this gets resolved soon.  I want XBMP.

they screw up my order (good tracking #) but i return it and it took them 3 weeks to send me the correct items (with bad tracking #) but they compensated me after all of my annoying emails with a free X2 Pro (but i think they were just trying to get rid of the X2 Pros to make room for the new X2.1,2.2 stocks.

I sold my free x2 pro and i'm happy.

I'm sure they try not to mess up and I would buy from then again.

Some of you may think that this is a very long time.

The reason it arrive so late, because I'm in INDONESIA !!!!  smile.gif
Yup, that's right INDONESIA !!!!
and trust me... it's a very very very very very long trip from OHIO (console corener store)  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Oh, anyway i pick-up the packet 2 days ago (21-august-2003) from that post-office (got very busy with my self and doesn't have the time to pick it up)  sad.gif

and i feel very happy since THE MOD-CHIP and POGO PIN work !!!!  biggrin.gif
It really work !!!
the mod-chip work !!!
the pogo work !!!
the programmer work !

But after 1 day of playing i found out that my 3 years old nephew is really like hitting my xbox like a box.  sad.gif
And so the pogo-pin will come loose  mad.gif
it loose connection with the D0 and LPC
so i have to aligned it again...  sad.gif

after 3 times aligning it again and again  grr.gif
i decided to do the cable solder install  dry.gif
since i think it will be more secure and reliable  wink.gif

i'm a noob at soldering  sad.gif
but i found no problems installing the cable solder install  smile.gif
now the mod-chip will no longer come loose no matter how hard you hit my xbox.  biggrin.gif

the good news for you console corner is  smile.gif

What were you saying about the X-B.I.T., and the delays to add v1.4/v1.5 support "Uberdeek"? I can't hear you with your foot in your mouth... Anyways the first chip with support for all version Xbox 1.0 - 1.5 is in stock! Aladdin Advance did it first and we told you it was coming. There are alot of changes, and new items coming in the next month. I would spill the beans, but some official resellers will go crying & well you know we can't have that! Only questions I have are:
Why don't you have stock "We bough alot of stock!"
What is the new staff going to ship when you have no stock?
Where is the week old "New Design" project - still looks same (no stock)?
Why make shit up - Your customers would prefer the truth?

hahaha wtf are you talking about ?

you posted a picture of a v1.4 on your site - lies: it wasn't

you said xbit were adding support for v1.4/v1.5 to the mod - lies: no hardware changes have ever been needed

you say xbit is the first chip with v1.0 - v1.5 support - well thats not lies thats stupidity - you'll find ALL chips with lframe mod is completely compatible. Its a bios change not hardware. Congrats on showing your customers just how much you dont know about what you are selling them.

your stupid lame "war" with other mod sites is old and boring. It's been done a thousand times before with the ps2 scene - think of something original.

However I must thank you for your attempt at bshing me just because I pointed out your previous lies. First the thanks go to being able to expose your lies again - secondly for giving me a good giggle.

I have to say that Console Corner is now the only vendor I'm going to order from. I got my chip when they said it would be here. I got the tracking info as promised. 100% satisfied!

Better than the crap I have been going through with Master-Mods.com and xbox-modchips.com.. As of today I still have not recieved either order from them and it's been over 2 months.

Read the forums, every vendor has some problems.. but atleast this one doesnt rip you off.

Thanks guys.

Ordered an Aladdin Advance 64 chip and received a 32 chip...which didn't work. No instructions included, no information on bios, nothing. They said they must have accidentally sent me the wrong chip. Sent it back and they sent me a 32 chip again, which also didn't work. Emailed them one more time and said it still didn't work. Promised me an Xecuter lite in exchange and gave me a tracking number that hasn't changed in 6 days. Previous numbers were updated nightly. A couple of days after Lite was promised, another chip showed up in the mail and it was...you guessed it...another Aladdin 32 chip. As far as I know the lite is still coming, but after all I have read, I tend to believe that I wont be seeing it for a while. I don't know what's going on or why they feel like they have to deceive their customers about product and shipping. But, whatever you do, don't order the Aladdin advance. They don't have the 64 and they just plain do not work.

I placed my order with The Console Corner on Nov 18, 2003.   I received order confirmation via email rather quickly from mypaysystems.com.  The next day (Nov 19) I received an email listing my USPS tracking # and, amazingly, the order shipped that same day.

I had paid for Global Express Mail service which should have been an overnight shipment.  When I returned home on the 20th I had expected to see the package, or at least a note from the USPS.  When I saw neither I decided to call my local post office to track the package with more details.

I was told by the USPS rep that my order was shipped via Priority mail.  I had paid for express which was a HUGE difference in price from priority (Priority is approx. $5 and Express is approx $20).  Not only that, but the USPS rep also told me that the total postage paid by the shipper was $4.75.   Needless to say I am very disappointed in this matter.  Hopefully my chip will arrive tomorrow or Saturday thanks to the messed up shipping.  I will be contacting TCC directly to request a full refund on shipping.  I absolutely refuse to pay for a service which I did not receive.  It appears that this is a frequent occurance with TCC based on the other messages here and I will not stand for being ripped off.

I'll be sure to update this info to indicate whether or not the product was received... and if it is the right product in the first place.

UPDATE:  Received my XBit in working order on 11/21/03.  I was also refunded the difference in shipping via PayPal.  TCC may have made a mistake but they were quick to respond and very apologetic in their correspondance.  I'd give them another shot in the future.

I ordered an Xbit mid-day on 11/17/03

I received my Xbit via USPS Priority Mail today (11/20/03)

The Xbit was shipped in a standard USPS Priority envelope with no protective packaging other than the anti-static bag the Xbit is sealed in.

There does not appear to be any damage, and I'm pleased with the quick shipment!

Thanks to the folks at The Console Corner!

Ok here is my embarrassing story buying a modchip...
On Nov. 12 I decided to buy a xbit for my xbox. I went googling and the site that came up was xbox-modchips.com, which had horribly high price of $63 for xbit tho in the home page it was only $52(somewhere around that). They also charged me $10 for shipping. I later realized that I paid way too high than I should have but I would be still be content if they could ship it out early.

What happened was I did get an email saying they began the proccessing my order with a link to their tracking page. I checked the page. There was nothing but Order ID. Not very interesting. What happened in the week after that was I checked the page every single day and it remained uninteresting--the blank page with order number. The product had not been shipped. I emailed them several times and got responses the second day(you have to wait a day for them to reply with a line or two; sometimes they don't reply) and was told that the chip was in back-order. I was furious because the home page of xbox-modchips.com clearly stated that it was in stock and apparently it was still "in stock" the whole time as stated in their website even when I was told the chip was in back-order. I requested refund and they were absolutely unresponsive about the refund. No email replies of any sort regarding my refund request was sent to me. I went to mypaysystems.com and request a refund and xbox-modchips.com apparently ignored my reqeust and didn't respond to it. Mypaysystems.com held the refund request for 48 hours for the site to respond.

Meanwhile I was very unhappy about my experience I wanted the chip pretty bad and wanted it before thanksgiving break...during which I got some time to install and enjoy it. Yet my plan got screwed up because of the damn site and I was not sure if I still had time to get the chip before thanksgiving.

Then I went to order from TCC since they've got pretty good reputation. I paid my paypal and guess what, I paid by paypal "eCheck", which is basically a bank transfer +  paypal instant transfer..But the eCheck took four to five days to clear( I didn't know it beforehand), which means I had no chance of getting it before thanksgiving and after thanksgiving I will have finals and it would suck cuz I will not have any time for it. I really screwed myself up again because I paid $73+$56 and still didn't get what I wanted....

I instantly sent an email to TCC saying that I wanna cancel the order and reorder it by CC and have it ship overnight and remotely hoped, after the experience with xbox-modchips.com,that they would respond. Guess what? several mins later they responded!
I was literally 'chatting' to 'Steve' over email the entire last Wednesday and Thursday night s. He always respond several mins after I sent him email and that made me confident that I was dealing with a reputed vendor and a honest guy.  So I went ahead bought another chip from them using CC. You have to know that it was that an easy decision. Why if he was another greedy seller ? I had bought two chips already. If my two refunds didn't pass thru I will end up with three xbits!I will blow money like nothing....
he sent it out last friday overnight and I got it indeed on saturday!

He also instantly refunded me when the eCheck was cleared. No pain. No delay in refund communication. He is VERY VERY responsive and regard a customer's need very highly.
Guys all I have to say is, if any thing goes wrong during a transaction with TCC. Do NOT panic. They will do everything to set it right. They can always rely on TCC. Personally I think any negative experience you can possibly have with them is out of their control. You will not be ripped off or ignored like a lot of sites in modchip scene.

200% recommended. TCC seriously has a human touch to it. Other sites feel like they are brick walls with no window.

You can't go wrong with them.

This company used to be good but are crap lately.  I ordered a chip from this last march and it came within a week of ordering.  I recently just ordered 2 more 2.3 pros pre ordered them in mid november only to have the date bumped up twice now he is saying they wont be in till january. So I changed my order to 2 2.3 lites and have waited over a week and still dont have the chips and the usps doesnt even show its shipped yet. My emails to the guy as to where my chip is and when i will recieve it have been in vain. He claims he shipped it yet a week later nothing. All his email responses are less then 1 sentence and dont answer your questions and he gets rude in them saying if i send more then 1 line nothing will get done around here. Well obviously he must be sending everyone novels because nothing gets done around there. Im done doing buisness with this guy for good.   My worst expierance ever with online vendors and I use alot of them.

I order from these guys on Nov. 11, 2003 and my 2.2 Pro just arrived on 15 Dec!!!!!!!  They take FOREVER to return emails, but yet I got the email that the chips that they were sending out did not work correctly and lo and behold....I got one of them!  NOT HAPPY!!!!  I just emailed them to ask for a replacement, we'll see how long that takes!

Ordered 3 X2.3 Lites on Dec. 2, got email on Dec. 3 stating that the chips have been shipped... still nothing.  I'm in Canada, so perhaps the delay is normal but it has been well beyond 5-6 business days

We're all stuck waiting at this point. I ordered a 2.3 Pro back in November, and recently changed the order to 2 of the 2.3 lites (I think this was a week ago).

I got a tracking number on them, but it doesn't work so I'm doubting it's legit. But stranger things have happened.

This comes on the heels of like 7 friends ordering Xbits from Console-corner, and getting them within 3 or 4 days each (I know, I installed them). So I figured on reliability.

What I hear though is this isn't even Console-corner's fault, they can't ship what hasn't arrived, so to speak.
