Had I researched about modding the box myself?
Of course
Was I skeptical about contacting someone I met over the net?
Sure
After having Pat mod my box, am I happy?
Hell yes.
I made the right choice... Very quick, very clean, and very informative makes one very happy customer...
He allowed me to attend while the chip was installed... I watched the entire process while he explained certain aspects of it to me...
He installed the modchip, installed my new hard drive, installed numerous useful applications and taught me how to use each one.
He also offered post-installation assistance...
I've already referred my close friend to him... I would proudly take another Xbox to Pat to get it modded...
Overall, a comfortable experience full of learning and best of all, a new enhanced Xbox...
Thanks Pat!
