I stopped using it since 2009, but I am thinking about using it for my daughter.
All it has is the Stealth hacked firmware, a Samsung drive and the default low capacity hard drive.

Can you please tell me if it's able and how to use all the new big hard disks so that I can store game backups on them, and if it can use Kinect or not?

Any software solution or do I have to use now a modchip?

if it has a sammy drive like he says its most likley a xenon...........and btw the premium,pro,arcade thing,that realllllly only pointed out what all was included with the unit at purchase,as arcade was just a console and cords and controller,pro had 120gb hdd and 2 controllers i believe,so all that pro,arcade sh*t was just referring to what you got with them new.just thought id add that.

I am guessing that this console is a lot older than 2009 so not a Jasper. Does it have a hdmi port?

if not there is not much you can do.
First sorry for the being late! :redface:

It doesn't have a HDMI port indeed.

So what? MS found a way to stop those old model at all from using hacks and modchips?
You mean I can't execute 'backups' directly from the HDD? :frown:

I wouldn't care about not playing online as it will be used by my little daughter for games with Kinect.

Do you know what the dashupdate is?

If it is not higher than 2.0.7371.0, you can JTAG it.
It *might* be an older update as all I remember was I updated it because of the new Dashboard layout (compared to the beginning one) and I still was able to play stealth backups online safely.

However as soon as I can I will power it on and check the version.

Thanks!

*Update*
I still haven't checked my console, but giving a quick look at Wikipedia I *might* be at v2.0.7357.0 (the 'big GUI change' version). :fingercrossed:

looks like it pal. Best bet is to get a jasper motherboard xbox 360. u will just need the console only since u have the leads already. Or u can go for a slim model.

What price are we talking about?
Because a new Stingray console costs about € 100,00-120,00.
