30/10/09 - ix 1.61 for 360

New firmware was released today for wave 4 games. I-xtreme 1.61 came out for Samsung and BenQ DVD drives. All other drives (liteon) will have to wait a little longer.

23/10/09 - New xbox 360 flashing services

We are starting to flash a LOT of xbox 360s and have 3 changes

Xbox 360 reflashing in our store is only $30 now. Via post it is only $45
If you would like to post in your DVD drive only, the normal service is a little cheaper
Postal flashing is not $75. Flashing in our store is $60.

The reason why we are offering reflashing to cheap is for the newer ixtreme that will come out to combat wave 4 games (no idea when this is going to come out btw). If you have 1.6 you can still get them boot using activate.iso, it will just get a little annoying after a while. Remember this reflashing is also for people that have had their firmware flashed somewhere else (i.e. yourself, or not us!)

21/10/09 - Random OzModChips news.

Our latest batch of Drivekeys are in stock, and they are now at a cheaper price due to the strong AUD and the Wiikey Fusion (which is made by the same team). Wasabi has also dropped in price. We might not restock wasabi DX - as reliable as their hardware is, the software is not as good as the Drivekey with block game updates.
WODE is about 3 weeks away, not long now. We will be getting 1 of only 9 prototype units that have been made. We will me making some videos. If you want us to test anything out please email us and let us know.
Wiikey fusion will be here in 2 weeks or so. Apparently the product is ready and they are production stage.
Wave 4 for 360 games is here, which means games that come out Novemeber onwards won't work with ix 1.6. You can still use activate.iso to allow the game to boot. We are modding 360s in our store for $60, and $30 only for a reflash. Its an opening special that we are happy to extend for the xmas peroid.
There is a new unmodded DVD drive in xbox 360s with the manu date on the back greater than 23/08/09. We don't know how long it will take for the firmware to come out to hack this drive, but it might not be before xmas! If you don't have a 360 yet, make sure you check the date on the back before buying it!
Yes our store is open, yes you can pick up products for our store and avoid having to order online, and NO we do NOT take phone orders :)
