So? There's nothing wrong with modding your Xbox - either from the
outside or the inside, or as in this case, both.

eBay poilicy says there is something wrong with it. They pull auctions all
the time for this reason.

Yeah, my mistake. I didn't realize 800 quid was his starting price. Good
luck to him.

Someone thought so:

" This listing (8165697700) has been removed by eBay or is no longer
available. Please make sure that you've entered the item number
correctly. "

How is that wrong? Check www.xe.com

800 Pounds = 1486.85 USD

1 pound = $1.85 USD

Well, to be fair, you said 1.5 times and the math reflected 2 times,
I think thats what he was refering to.

Well, it's all "roughly", I mean $1486.85 is pretty close to $1600...it
wasn't meant to be an exact quote. Whenever I am buying something from
the UK, I always seem to look at the price and multiply it times two,
just to get a rough figure...maybe it's just me. 😉

Nope, I do the same thing, this way I feel like I am getting a discount
when the 'real' price is revealed :)

Hehehhee, yeah. Well, mostly I do the 2X thing because even when it only
really comes out to 1.5, you have to figure in shipping...so, in the end,
2X really is more accurate for those of us in the US that are buying from
the UK. :)

Not really...I remember when it was $2.50= 1pound
sterling and higher(for some reason $2,80 comes to
mind)

Sure enough! I've been checking in on this everyday since I first read about
it. I missed yesterday and now it's gone. JLC
