So...
Why don't you all trust SmartXX team? Let me guess: because they aren't Team Xecuter. Believe me, I like TX work, but I respect the other chip manufacturers as well. If you want to get technical, all the products do the exact same thing: they allow you to boot a non-stock bios. Nothing more, nothing less. It's just that other chip makers have different bells and whistles. I happen to like Xecuter's bells and whistles more then anothers. I don't really see why we need to get all nasty toward the other companies...
Yes, I am a minority opinion there. I guess I just am not a fanboy toward anybody or anything.
I don't see any reason why they would lie about the 1.7 version Xbox. After all, their credibility IS on the line. If it happens that there is no 1.7 version Xbox, then it is simply because they made a mistake.
