Monday, Dec 26, 2011 - Ixtreme 3.0 is now available for Lite-on and Benq drives.


Monday, Dec 19, 2011 - New Reset Glitch Hack method for any XBOX 360 available.

Tuesday Nov 8, 2011 -  A DVD ROM mod solution for all 360 slims is now available

Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - Update for XBOX 360 customers... You may have been informed that there is a new Ixtreme Firmware released, version 1.9. This firmware is the solution to anyone who uses the XBOX live service. We have this firmware available for you now, however it must be applied after the Dashboard update is taken. Please update your machine online before you come in. Upon taking the update, Microsoft will flash your DVDROM drive back to stock, and move the keys to a different location in memory. This effectly un-mods your machine and makes the re-mod a bit trickier to do. Fortunately we have the original DVDROM binary for each machine modded by us. We can easily re-mod your machine within minuits and do this at a discounted re-installation charge of 30$.(It's important that you have this  done soon, as we will be shutting down for Vacation time in a few weeks). Currently XBOX live is safe to use with Lite Touch 1.9 and is compatable with all games that are of the standard image size but is only useful to customers that have taken the 13xxx dashboard update. Lite Touch + 1.1 is still current for any machine that is not used online, however I suggest to all customers to take the update as newer games will require it. Lite Touch 2.0 will support the larger disk image size, and will be a free update when it's released. 

Wednesday, Jan 19,2011 - New dashboard update released, DO NOT TAKE IT!, it is rumoured that it is yet another AP2.5 update, with the soul purpose for detecting your mod. AP2.5 is on some disc's going all the way back to modern warfare 2. Remember, NEVER take updates to your console until you know what they do, microsoft is very sneaky. Will add to this information as the information is available.

Tuesday, Nov 23/2010 - WOW! 3 weeks and there is already a solution to the newest XBOX 360 dashboard update, Lite Touch Plus!  Hat's off to C4EVA and his team ! Made available to to the public today, for Liteon(yellow wires) drive and Benq(white wires)drives. So here we go again, time to bring your machine in for an update. Make sure to get the drive update before updating your dashboard to eliminate the chance of a ban. Machines with our Warranty will be free to update, but we can also clean your machine at your request  while it's apart for small charge of 10$ (half of the normal cost).


Tuesday, Nov 2, 2010 - On Monday Nov 1/2010 another Microsoft 360 update was released, there is much speculation as to if, it is able to detect the firware modification. At this time it is  recommended that you DO NOT accept the update, and wait until more is known, which will be posted here.

We have been asked about the JTAG mod for a long time now, and we can do it for you, but you must know that most machines cannot have this done. Only if your Kernel is 2.X.7XXX... or lower can your Xbox be j-taged, if you have played modern warfare 2 on your machine, then you have a new version, which can not be j-taged. Machines that have older kernels are typically from machines that are bought, old stock from a store.

We are your game system modchip experts. All our modchip installations are done professionally in our store, and include lifetime warranties. Trust us for your mod install, like thousands of other customers have.

 


Beware of some installers offering seamingly better deals. Most work out of their house, install old modchips that can damage your system and don't give warranties or service if anything goes wrong. We've seen competitor's installs in PS2's where they cut up the insides because they don't know how to put the system back together.
