A 1.4 is better for TSOP flashing or easier modchip installation. I don't know if 1.6 has a better video chip or not.

Blue LE owners, are you seeing mostly Winbond TSOP's still? I'm hoping some of these Blue LE's have an Evox compatible TSOP like ST Hyndai or Hyinix.

Out of curiousity what are the Canada LE's going for over there in US dollars?

TIA

This BLUE XBOX's were made long time ago.

About mid-2004, you could get a special BLUE XBOX
if you when to your local Canadian Bell World Center
and hookup to the Bell ExpressVU (TV dish) network
and signed a multi-year contact.

I don't think very many people did, and the special
offer was dropped.

XBOX's were shipped back to MS.

And NOW MS has repackaged them as "Limited Edition"
machines.
