If it's a new console then you're probably not going to be happy with it. Would have been better off buying an older one off eBay.

More than likely you're going to have to solder it.

Re: About to buy a 360 elite, any speical things i need?

But if the drive comes with the 93450 firmware cant he use the TeamJungle iXtreme Lite Touch?

http://www.360mods.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=136

In the description it says it supports flashing with that firmware.

Im interested because i have to replace my xbox 360 and i dont want to buy one that cannot be flashed to play my backups.

Yeah it is supported and can be flashed but ya need to do via MRA method which involves some electronic work (soldering). Although it not too dificult if you have done this type of thing before.

There is now a solder-less option for newer lite-ons.

Has mentioned before, you can go to 360drives.com an put in the units info. If it's brand spanking new it's probably a 9xxx series.

Well i searched it, and nobody in that data base had my mFR date and only 1 guy had the same lot number as mine, but a later MFR date. He had the firmware that needs soldering. Does that mean mine has the same firmware even tho my 360 has a earlyer MFR date

yeah that's what I thought. 99% sure it's a 9xxx series. Check this out for a solder-less option. http://www.360mods.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=24389

All new console will have the new firmware, so there is no getting around that. But looks like we have our 1st solderless method of flashing the new drives, i'm definatly gonna pick one of those CK3 Probe II up, my lil bro has a arcade with the new firmware so I know he's gonna wanna get that sh*t modded soon! lol

I had the same problem with mine. It RRoD and i did the llama x-clamp fix and it worked fine for almost a year until it RRoD again. I re-pasted and it works for like 2 months. Now whenever i re-paste it only works for like a couple of days.

=( i wanna play Mass Effect 2!!
