Xbox Modchip Installs
The Xbox console is the most versatile console once it has been modchipped, even though it is not the newest.
With a modchipped Xbox you can do the following:
- Play backup games.
- Use the Xbox as a Media Center PC for playing music, movies, browsing the web and streaming online content.
- Backup your games onto the Xbox and play them without inserting the disc (requires larger hard drive upgrade)
- Play free homebrew games.
- Play emulator games. These are retro console and arcade games (Atari, NES, Sega, N64 etc).
- Play online without using xbox live.
- Watch movies without needing to buy the xbox dvd remote.
- Change the look and feel of the xbox menus. Choose from a range of themes and download more for free.
- Play mp3, avi, divx and most other music and movie formats.
- Connect your xbox and pc to transfer data and downloads.
- Much More...

The software package includes all the programs required to use all the features listed above.
You may also want to upgrade the Xbox hard drive at the same time.
Xbox Hard Drive Installs
With a hard drive installed in your xbox, you can save games and movies directly to your console, so you never have to use the disc again.
This saves wear and tear on the dvd drive itself, plus it keeps your games and movies safe from damage and scratches.
Note that you need a modchip installed to install a larger hard drive.
80gb hdd install: add $90.00
The 80gb hard drive will store approximately 20-30 games or movies.

Xbox Dashboard Installs
The Xbox Dashboard is the menu that you see when you turn on your Xbox.
When we put a modchip in your Xbox or upgrade to a larger hard drive we also install an alternative Dashboard.
This is called Unleash-X. There is no extra charge for this. It is included in the install price.
Xbox DVD Drive Replacement
Xbox DVD Drive Replacement $80.00
The most common problem with the xbox console is a faulty laser or dvd drive.
If you are getting dirty disc errors, your games are taking a long time to load
or your dvd drive won't open, we can replace your current dvd drive for a new one.
More Xbox Repairs

As always, there is no charge if we can't fix the problem.
Xbox 360 Installs and Repairs
We offer a range of upgrades and repairs for the Xbox 360. Check below for prices and descriptions.
Xbox 360 Modchip Installs
Although there are modchips for the xbox 360, they aren't true modchips.
They operate the same way as dvd drive firmware upgrade, but with the added need to solder a chip into the Xbox360.
Because it is basically pointless and doesn't offer any extra features we don't install modchips in the Xbox 360.
Instead we do a firmware flash upgrade.
Xbox 360 Flash Upgrade
Xbox 360 DVD Drive Flash Upgrade $70.00
This is our preferred method of modding the Xbox 360.
The programming code on the Xbox 360 DVD Drive is upgraded with hacked code.
This allows you to play backup copies of your original games.
The hacked code is stealthed so that you can play your backups online without being banned.
The upgrade will NOT allow you to cheat!
Although current upgrades cannot be detected online, there are no guarantees that they will remain undetectable in the future.
Xbox 360 Laser Repairs
Xbox 360 Laser Replacement $70.00
The Xbox 360 is prone to a number of faults.
One of these is a weak or faulty laser.
If your Xbox 360 isn't reading games or movies then you may need a laser replacement.
Alternatively, you may need a whole replacement drive.
Xbox 360 DVD Drive Replacement
Xbox 360 DVD Drive Replacement $140.00
If your DVD Drive is making strange noises or the tray won't open, then you may need a drive replacement.
When we replace the drive, we also need to do a Flash Upgrade.
This is because the Xbox 360 motherboard and dvd drive are matched together so the new drive needs to be hacked to work in the console.
More Xbox 360 Repairs
RROD Red Ring of Death Fix $110.00(incl GST)
The most common problem with the Xbox 360 is the Read Ring of Death.
This is when 3 red lights on the front of the console are flashing and either nothing appears on the screen or you see an error code.
The 3 red lights actually just mean there is a problem with the motherboard.
We need to diagnose the exact cause of the error before we can perform the appropriate repair.
These repairs are time consuming and are priced accordingly.
A/V Output Repair $60.00
If you have lost the video signal on your Xbox 360, have 4 red lights flashing on the console or the av plug is damaged, we can repair or replace it.

We can repair burnt points and lifted traces, usually for around the same price as a modchip install.

About our services
The installs listed above include all of the costs involved in having your console modded.
There are no hidden charges.
All consoles are tested before any work is performed.
If we find a problem with the console, we will not proceed with the upgrade until we can confirm that you are already aware of the problem.
Game Console Repairs
We offer repairs on all Game Consoles available.
For all repairs, we will either quote you a price up front or diagnose the problem and then quote you a price.
You will not pay anything until you have accepted the quote and we won't proceed with any repairs that aren't authorised by you.
Whenever it is possible, we try to replace parts rather than repair them.
This cuts down on labor cost to you and ensures a longer life span on the repair.
We can repair just about any problem, but you should check to make sure that your manufacturers warranty has expired before bringing your console to us.
All modchip installs come with a 3 year warranty. (The lifetime warranties offered by many businesses actually refer to the expected lifetime of the product. The expected lifetime of a game console sytem is generally 3 years but can also be interpreted as 'until it breaks'.)
Prices on Wii modchip installs vary depending on version and the modchip installed.
You can work out which version you have based on the wii serial number in most cases.
