Modchip Battle Continues
January 10, 2006
I know, you are probably tired of hearing about the I.C.E. modchip… probably just as tired as I am of getting news reports about it in my inbox. But my job is not to like the news, just to report it. So here’s what’s new on the modchip front:
First, we have a “proof video” released from I.C.E. showing them running a backup Xbox 360 game. Yes, I know, I know… that could be a kiosk disc or a copy of one labeled “Call of Duty 2”. You can make up your own mind about this video, but if the PSP scene is any indication, “proof videos” rarely pan out and are usually the first sign of a hoax. You can download this video [here].
Speaking of the PSP scene, on the other side of the fence, we have well known PSP homebrew programmer Fluff (aka Naoneo) standing up for his opinion on I.C.E.’s modchip. Much like he did when there were many fake “proof videos” of the PSP being hacked floating around, he’s created a satirical webpage in an effort to show how easy it is to create a hoax. This time it’s in the form of “TeamSolix360“. If you press Ctl-A on the front page, you’ll be let in on the joke. You can also view his explanation of why he thinks the I.C.E. modchip is a hoax, and he has some pretty convincing things to say.
Here i will attempt to prove the plot of infinitymods.com to scam the scene into laying down cash for a non-existant product.
We’re all aware that the only site in existance that has seen these supposed working 360 modchips, is infact infinitymods.com, now if we check the relations between both sites, we find that they’re more than just product testers..
Let’s go deeper.
In my personal experience of living in Toronto, Canada, for a few years, i can confirm myself that both registrants of either domain live within 2 blocks, the markers shown on the map above are aproximations, however due to the vauge information given for the registrants, they could very well be the exact same location.
If this wasn’t good enough proof..
infinitymods.com – 64.21.181.130
icemodchip.com – 64.21.181.130
Clearly both sites are using the exact same host, Coincidence? i think not.
Now fobbed off as a “disagreement” of the webmaster and mod makers, the images have been removed, however we still have copies of the originally released images by icemodchip.com.
I have no doubts in my mind that infinitymods.com are using this whole thing for publicity and to possibly steal from resellers, thanks to their backwards idea of having to order in bulk to get a sample…
In all my years of working in a corporate environment, the concept of ‘sample’ was always to provide an example of the product so a seller may decide on if they should invest the money on a large order, not the other way around.
It’s fishier then an essex girls crotch, and dressed twice as bad.
