X360 - Image 1Console modding fans may be disappointed that popular modchip creators Team Xecuter have retired from creating products of the sort due to recent raids by the US government on stores carrying the product.

In a statement published in their website, Team Xecuter took a swipe at what they call "crazy times" and said:

We feel our mods are shipped in a legal format with Linux pre loaded and any other products we make contain no copyrighted code and no circumvention of copy protection.


The team assured the public that the modchip division is the only part of their service which will be discontinued. They said that Team Xecuter would instead focus on non-mod operations to deliver products that will enhance the experience for gamers.

I wonder why they where able to do raids on this product, I thought it wasn't illegal to chip consoles if they they have region codes for movies and such.

get your fact straight. They will not stop making mods. They will only stop making and shipping them in the USA.

"Nothing has changed apart from the fact that we won't be dealing with anything in the USA directly again. The government there is run by the corporations as opposed to the people - you can't win against that." http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showpost.php?p=233542&postcount=6
