Xenons are terrible, I'd never buy one. The failure rates are extremely high.

If you don't even know what they do it would be a waste of money. You won't be hosting online COD lobbies or anything unless you pay for a server which is like $275 a week or so.

I have a falcon slim jtag, and it was worth the money. You can earn it back by doing recoveries for mw2, or earn subs for your youtube, etc. I also iso mod my retail. If you have no idea how to use one then itd be a waste.

Yeah I hear those falcon slim jtags are really good. :trollin:

But seriously, JTAGs are always worth the money you pay. For example, you pay $200 for a JTAG or RGH and then acquire 4 new games ($60 each) then you have already made your money back.

I personally think they are worth it now since you can get them online again. Visit my post on the 2nd page.

I personally use Jtags for getting games before they are officially released. I'm not bothered about going online, so I've never tried, however I am sure you ca, with a little bit of knowledge I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out - don't ask me though, as I wouldn't have a clue as to where to start!

I would say that they are worth it, 100%. Mine has recently died due to it being placed on my Subwoofer (stupidly) and I forgot to take it off when playing music. I think it shook it to pieces.

The best you could get would be a Slim RGH (pretty much the same as a Jtag, but uses a different method). Then it'd be a Jasper (the last phat series made)

Xenons are prone to RROD, so I'd personally stay away from them.

I've got a Falcon, and it's never failed on me except for human error.


If you want to know anything else, just PM me, I'll try and help as much as possible.


Have a good rest of the day!

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT GET AN XENON. It will overheat after literally an hour and you will get rrod in roughly a week if you do not shut it down every hour and let it cool down. I used to have one as they are very cheap but it broke (obviously) Now i have Falcon with 12v fans and have never had any issues. And altogether (360 games, XBLA, DLC, Mw2 lobbies/recoveries, etc..) ive made over 4 times what the xbox is worth. I recommend buying a falcon xbox and then jtagging it (cheaper) or simply buying a falcon xbox already with a jtag. 100% WORTH IT!! Basically, you are gaining money rather than losing it (on buying console).

If I was you, don't get a xenon jtag. It's a waste of money, it overheats quickly.
