like I said, I could care less if you get your panies in a bunch. I was just letting others know this isnt a good deal at all. btw, do you mean the 2.5 x-changer or the 2.6 lite chip becuase there is no such thing as an x2.5 chip. Whichever chip it is, its still a pos and outdated. If it had an x3, a 300gb hard drive, a paintjob + leds, and a sammy 605b, then I would consider giving you 300 for it. But instead its an x2.6, 80gb hdd, and a 15 dollar skin slapped on there worth a totla of 220 bux max. Good luck selling it
its not really a microchip, a microchip takes incredible soldering skills becuase of its incredibly small size. Its no harder than wiring leds.
also, the government was the ones whom made the law against piracy, and now you say they dont give a ****? thats like saying if bill gates made windows 95 and never looked at making another version again. But, the game developers themselves also care. Take in account this situation: What if you produced a brand new car. You patended it and sold it an made, say, 200 million dollars? then what if eveyone found a way to get these cars for $100 brand new, and you lost 500 million. Yup, I can guarantee you would be furious, just like the game developers. Im not saying game developers make a negative profit, but they do lose quite a bit becuase of piraters like you
(meaning the parts and do it yourself)
