why is some of the newer version still might not be a version 5 cas as in the ps2 all the new comes are the same version i only know a bit about modding ps2 nothing about x box yet thats why ime here to try and find as mutch in fo b4 i buy it and try to install chip without knowing anything about what ime doing and it seems well complicated as avril lavighne would say
over and out rubber duck we got our selves a convoy

 

There is an EasyBuy200 Europe. Not sure if they ship to England but I would guess they would.

Pretty much when you go to the store to buy an XBox first look at the MFG Date on the back of the box through the cut out hole.
You can get a pretty good idea of what version it is by the MFG Date. Anything after 08/03 will be a v1.5

but i read even before that date or after itstill could be a v1.5 to make certain i have to open my ps2 up

 

You lost me, What does the PS2 have to do with the Xbox?

If you can get an XBox dated early 2003 then you can be sure it's not a v1.5
Just check a few stores and look at the date before buying it. If the Xbox is not easily accessable, behind the counter or something, just ask to check it out and pretend your reading the back of the box and take a peek at the MFG Date. In the US most bigger stores have displays on the sales floor so checking dates is pretty easy.

sorry i meant x box but i read that even if the date is before 2003 it still can be an v1.5 they way to find out for certain is to open x box up

 

why not to get an Old stock new xbox ?

or a refubrished xbox
that way you gonna get a older and easier version of xbox to work on it

it doesnt matter the warranty since you need to open it to install the chip?
if purchased brand new
you'll waste money

since you are very sure u gonna get a V 1.5

dont take the risk
and get an earlier version
get a refubrished = almost same as new
and cheaper

 

thats what i was thinking geting an old x box the only place i know to buy and old one is from ebay but will be dear
