Jan 26, 2008. So what's happening in the 360 black market?

As you know, the Chinese are very good at electronics and pirating. So it comes as no surprise that they've released many gadgets, all of which will void your warranty, but are fun to play with if you don't mind the possibility of a dead 360.

The newest gadget is called the XFPS 360 V3 Sniper Edition. That's a long name for a thing that lets you connect a keyboard and mouse to the 360 so you can snipe your opponents to death online and move up in the rankings. It connects to the 360 using USB.

This is the XCM Black Knight Replacement Case for the 360. It's black and has a giant glowing X on the top. It looks pretty cool, will void the warranty, and probably overheat your 360. But it looks pretty cool. The glass also gets real hot and will burn you if you're not careful.

If you're going to get the replacement case, then you need to glowing green fan. It's much faster than the internal fan in your 360 and a little quieter. Your 360 will be really pimped out like, well, a giant green pimp.

This weird little device lets you connect a SATA hard disk straight to the 360's USB port. So you can make backups and do alot of copying on your 360.

Finally you got the USB blaster, which flashes the 360's DVD drive. Why would you want to do that you ask? So you can play games on any region or from any media. We don't recommend flashing the drive because it will void the warranty and make playing new games difficult or impossible. But we introduce it to you anyway.
