nice one kim

can you find out some info for me

cost etc and if it can be fitted while still in the car

its fitted into the boot build,dont fancy ripping it all out ?

can bring the car up your way,,,only live in selby

Depends what manufacturer made the DVD-ROM drive that's in your Xbox, can't remember off-hand which make is the best, but I know it'll have two holes in the DVD tray near the front. The other makes seem to have compatability issues with some media.

No probs mate, I will get back to you!

doesnt matter what make the drive is to whether it can be chipped m8

the issue with the drives is some are crap for reading cheaper media

if after a while your having problems with disc reading you can change the drive

 

and no it wouldnt be able to be chipped while in the car m8, to awkward

as you also want to play stored music files would be better if you had the larger h/d fitted at the same time, the cost of chipping and large h/d

you maybe better buying a machine ready done

Take a look here It shows the three different drives, general thinking is that the Samsung is best, Thomson is worst but it seems to vary!

how many songs can you expect to store on the standard drive,without getting a larger h/d ?

sorry altering my reply as i forgot about the 8 gig it comes installed with (i think it was)

unless you mean on a dvd disc? in that case an average mp3 track is 4-5 meg

at 128kbs, so a 4 gig plus dvdr is A LOT of tracks

with a large h/d installed you wouldn't live long enough to listen to them all lol

and coming from a h/d in the car they would be a lot more stable;)

so the h/d is double a dvd disc (ish)

i cant remember if you when chipped you can put mp3s on the standard h/d

as always had the larger h/d put in them sorry

They Do come with hard drives as standard - 8GB is the standard one i think

 

I swaped mine for a 200gb one though a while back.

umm just plugged my lads xbox in as hes got a 360 now and it wont play mp3s from the drive (dvd disc) and couldn't test from the h/d as i can't find his controllers lol

so best to check it will play them before getting it chipped m8

im pretty sure it will with the right dashboard, but as above not sure from the

standard h/d, it will play wma files, have you tried those in yours?

with a large h/d installed you wouldn't live long enough to listen to them all lol

 

have to disagree ;) My pc holds host to 37gb of mp3 music, and i've listened to all of it.

hence i said a LARGE h/d lol

as you say listening to your music on the pc while on the net you can listen to a lot of music, but 200 gig on the xbox in the car, much as i love my car

i wouldnt like to think of the time you would have to sit and listen to it :eek:

rough calculation i think would mean you would have to sit in your car for nearly 3 months 24/7 lol

the rest of your life may have been a SLIGHT ott lol, but who listens to the same albums for the rest of their lives?? ;)

to chip ur xbox i get my chips from baldbouncer and you can use the executer2.6 with a solderless socket and all you need then is to flash the bois, which i have a disc which you can use or download it from net

cheers richard
