Im with weaste, i also believe there aren't enough good games out anyway to warrant a chip in my opinion, theres like one decent game a month MAX(averaged out).

Sounds good
I'd go with pro just to be sure. It's only a little extra. If memory services, a molex goes into the xecuter board so the computer powers it.
Cool il not be gettin that molex adapter so. moneys not a matter seeing as id spend the same on a new game.
I got lite and had no problems whatsoever. I don't even know what extras pro has as I don't remember anything lacking. The connectivity kit powers the drive.
If you're after the pro, yes. £4 postage on the SATA card there though...
Cool. Xecuter it is, lite or pro I'm still undecided about. I'll see if I can get the PCI card in the city centre. Save me the hassle of postage and such.
Whats the deal with XGD3 disks? Modded my offline box to LT2, what do I need to play a backup of a XGD3 game... Dark Souls for example?
You intend to play DS offline?
that box is offline anyway, my onlne box is for er... online...
isn't dark souls offline rpg then?
isn't dark souls offline rpg then?
Picked up a X360USB Pro last week. Handy gadget for flashing on my laptop. Love it 
Online play is a massive part of the experience. You can play it offline, but you will be missing out in so many ways.
If it's offline then you can use lt2.0 but you will need to buy an Ihas burner with c4eva's burner max firmware. Some games could use the truncated disk method but more often than not it will end up with disk read errors.
Also if you have updated your dashboard to the latest version then your console will no longer read backup xdg3 games & you will have to wait for lt3.0 which is in testing atm & should be ready in a week or so at most.
As long as your box has the right firmware, just burn the image to a normal dual layer disk and you're away. There are plenty guides online for doing it.
I haven't experienced any disk read errors when burning this way (to report to the authorities, of course) even though it will say it's over capacity etc.
I had two family members who modded their Xboxes and got banned when they were caught playing MW2 two days before it came out. Noobs.
To quote c4eva who creates the LT firmware for the xbox 360 "stop truncating you noobs".
The part of the data that is not being burnt using the truncate method is the security which they believe will flag you up for a ban if this data is missing so yeah continue to truncate but it's not the recommended method any longer.
All seems to be going well, just tested Dark Souls... as for the truncating stuff, doesn't matter if you stay off-line right?
It should be fine for the most part but for example Forza 4 truncated comes up with unreadable disk errors when you get to a certain stage.
If you start to get unreadable disk errors then I would just go out & buy an Ihas burner as they are only £18 from Amazon & flashing the firmware of the drive is easy enough.
Anyone online with modded games should expect to be banned one way or another. I have Skyrim truncated and it installed without any issues so the disk is only being used to boot the game.
