you really are an idiot. don't you have anything better to do then interrupt a thread? monkeyknuckles was more than happy to say where the xbox came from. i am sure he is proud of his brotehr, as we all are, for serving in iraq and thinking enough of him to buy it and ship it to him.
An idiot? Thread crapping? Looking for an argument?
I have a number of friends in the military - from both US and Australian armed forces that have served or are serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and various UN peace keeper locations. I have complete respect for the troops, and the job they do. I had an offer to join the RAAF - and took a "civilian" career instead ... so it is a lifestyle and commitment I can deeply appreciate.
But, how is knowing if his brother is a soldier in Iraq going to fix the problem, or help identify what the "ugly chip running an M7 BIOS" might be? It wasn't until post #9 where someone (me) asked if this was even an Xecuter chip installed.
Pull your head out of your arse. I am not anti military, I was trying to ask the right questions to help identify what the problem was. "Is your brother a soldier" doesn't help at all.
Having an Xbox purchased on the streets of Baghdad is cool though

...
definate bragging rights with your mates.
