Right now i have a 1.4 XBox modded with an X-Ecuter 2.6 mod chip. >From what I understand you can soft mod any of the XBoxes but the 1.0-1.5 are the easiest, so you might want to pick up a used one. Anything from before 2004 should get you a pre 1.6 XBox, and the manufacture date is on the bottom of the xbox. -- I probably still have a few (well, now a whole bunch) gmail invites.
