I only do hard mods. I don't care to do soft mods because most are oriented towards cheating or exploiting xbox-live. It isn't worth losing my long standing xbox-live account for a moment of un-earned victory in a on-line game.

Microsoft's statement is listed as an alternate source in there, along with the government agency's official statement.

Edit: Nevermind.

boi6772d ago

na Im not bothered with it all never modded any of my previous consoles so why now...

Im sticking with buying full games as it adds nicely to my draw full of games

BenzMoney6772d ago

Modifying your console to look different is one thing, and it doesn't harm anyone. But modifying the system hardware to exploit xbox live and facilitate cheating (as well as copyright infringement) is not a victimless crime - particularly when one is profiting from it.

Yep I am modding mine...I am going to spray paint it green as well...and I am modding the case on the top to be a big X with some LED lights inside. Mine is mainly because white is always dirty and this will allow all the air to escape so it does not overheat anymore...

WilliamRLBaker6772d ago

there is only one real reason to mod your system, and thats to play pirated games.

needs some Wonder Woman :P

beerhound1d 17h ago

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom220h ago(Edited 20h ago)

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent7512d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7211d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2311d ago (Edited 11d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12515d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia15d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake15d ago
