I came accross this site the other day. Just curious what you guys think of it... Legally, Ethically, whatever. I personally was shocked when I saw it. I mean... Blatently pirating games for ALL to see. I mean. yeah, business is business, but geeze...  I dont' see how anyone would just throw that stuff up there....

from www.mods4xbox.com
"Are you tired of renting games just to have to return them?
Are you sick of paying $39.99-59.99 per game?
How would you like to get the most out of your XBOX?
How would you like to keep the games that you rent for FREE?
How would like NEVER to have to buy a game again?"

"We offer a WIDE variety of games!
*  You can pick up to 25 games to be added to your MODDED Xbox (Included in FEE)
*  Additional Games can be added to the XBOX for a cost of $2.00 per game.
*  If you do not see a game that you want, ask we probably have it!"

What do you guys think of that.... is it crossing the line? Do you think these guys are gonna get busted? It's just that... last I checked... it's ILLEGAL to pirate games... especially selling modded xbox w/ a load of pirated games on them. I mean.. if it were that easy... I'm sure we'd be selling a lot more Xbox's around here. Not that we even care that much about that. But still...

If your not interested / don't care... don't post. Smiley

ouch imo thats not only illegal but is ruining the whole xbox shindig. If we want more developers to work for xbox then we should really quit ruining their businesses. But meh im just a kid who cant figure out mIRCs transfer file commands etc.

and also... GTA:SA seems temptin at only 2.85gb...

good point. I just like that phrase "Business is Business" makes me feel important. You know. I actually talked to this guy on the phone... asked him a few questions... could be too prying though.. I was at work. He told me "It doesn't matter as long as you don't pirate games" Then he told me to check out the page with the "25 FREE GAMES WITH XBOX PURCHASE" page. I just couldn't beleive it.

I sent the vendor mods4xbox@gmail.com $500 and two xBoxes for modding.  Two months later he has disappeared with both xBoxes and $500 in a credit card transaction.  He does not reply to emails, his phone numbers appear to have been disconnected, and portions of his website no longer function.  I can only assume that he was running a scam.  He can be found under the names "The Gamer Depot", "mods4xbox", and "Rob Schramm".  He claims to hail from Davenport, FL, and maintains a couple addresses:  one on "201 Kings Ridge Loop #400" in Davenport, and another on "7862 W. Irlo Bronson Highway, Box 7862" in Kissimmee, FL.
