To be honest I liked the idea earlier.
But when you use the original CD Trap Plate, I just was amazed, and your the man!

Thanks for all the comments and interest shown in this and I hope to make another one day with a more up to date 360, and right now this one is on eBay..

Some idiot, don't know who yet, pulled it from eBay because of copyright infringement. The drive is completely stock in that aspect, no flashed FW at all. So either eBay has a complete retard that goes over those things or someone sent them an e-mail crying that it was modified when it's not, so they pulled a perfectly legal auction. I've already e-mailed them back and will have to see where this goes.

My apologies to anyone that bid on the thing and I'm working on getting this resolved or it'll just go back up for auction at a more respectable place that knows what they're doing.

it's a stereotype. I don't want to be an emo kid, but that's how people see us

who sees emo's as tech-savvy? I though emos were just supposed to cry and what-not.

Alright, it's back up again, 5 day listing this time so it can still hopefully make it in time to be a decent Christmas present for someone.

It's what clueless adults generally connect with hackers. Emo kids who sit in front of the computer all day

C'mon, you know it's true

Maybe stereotypes are different in Germany, I'm pretty sure our hacker stereotypes involve fat guys with glasses, full beards, a plad button-up collared shirt complete with front-pocket containing a pocket protector and a plethora of pens.

Yeah sure, that's the stereotype in the mind of a young person, but not an old person

'Round here, the emo kids are the drug addicts who sit at home all day with a needle in their arm and their drunk mother and/or abusive father passed out in the back room.

The computer kids n' "hackers" n' crap are the fat guys with glasses who are angry all the time and play with trading cards.

Woo, desert culture...

Well since eBay is full of the biggest hypocrites in the world, rapid fire controllers abound but I can't post a perfectly stock running 360 without being called for copyright infringement, not to mention some of the absolute dumbest people around that can't tell the difference between a modchip and a slot loader, like to know exactly where they get off on thinking so, this thing is no longer on eBay (again) and nothing I have or make ever will be from now on, I'm taking it elsewhere, just no idea where yet.

Thanks to all that looked and my apologies to anyone that bid on it after hearing about it from here, but eBay has no clue and it's out of my hands. If you'd like to rant, comment or whatever on the subject the work log thread is HERE.

As well as if anyone has any serious offers I can be PM'd about it HERE. If it goes up on some other site I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Sorry about your luck. Your work is too good for the likes of Ebay.
