In order not to be banned, drive flashing is the solution.

Lo Mr Monster. There are no softmods for the 360.
You first need to check what model of DVD Drive you have. In order to do that you need to take it apart and check the label sticker on it. The newest ones are not flashable i do believe, they have only been out a month or so.
You will need to buy some tools to get the job done, i paid someone to do mine, it worked out cheaper, and that included postage.
The other mods are the x3key type mods. They emulate the dvd drive and allow you to play games from a hard drive without the disk present.
And lastly you have the Reset Glitch Hack (RGH). You won't be able to go on live with this one but it will allow you to load homebrew applications.
Others on here will be able to give you more details than me. _________________________________________________________ Opinions are like arse holes, everybody has one and your's stinks.

My 360 was manufactured in 2010 so its not really new i bought it used im proud to say i pulled one over on the guy at the pawn shop and got it for 110 bucks usd plus some other stuff like charging dock and battery packs i dont feel bad hes screwed me before on prices oh and one controlers white but the other is a datel rapid fire controler so its kinda nice thanks again guys this site is the poopie

Looking at this site, you have a Philips-LiteOn 16D2S, and it is flashable.
You will need to buy a CK3 Pro and a probe to go with it, and a PCI 6421 sata card. The sata card costs about £5, not sure about CK3 and the probe.
As i said, unless you really want to do it yourself, you could get someone to do it for you cheaper than the cost of the equipment. Or you could just sell the equipment on after i suppose. _________________________________________________________ Opinions are like arse holes, everybody has one and your's stinks.
