My friend has a JTAG and back before the major patch he would always host online tenth lobbies and he would let me cohost but after the new dash update he stopped hosting. After he stopped hosting, I sort of "got out of" JTAGs (because of this I'm not exactly "up to date" on JTAG info) but I've always wanted one and now that I am old enough to get a job, I can actually get the money to buy one. But what I'm asking is that I'm still unexperiened and I don't have a huge amount of knowledge as to what I'm buying (I have read the forums about "JTAGs for noobs" I guess I could say) so I'd love to get some helpful opinions and tips if you guys can give me some. I'd like to not buy the most expensive thing out there but I'm not so cheap that I'll buy the cheapest one there is (although I would if it is the best one suited for me). I don't really mind if i can only do stuff in it through system link, as this is something i want to use for fun not to make money off of. I wouldn't just use it for call of duty, but that would probably be what I would use it most for. Also if I had the opportunity to, I wouldn't mind being able to host online lobbies, regardless as to what game it is. One last thing... If I were to get one it probably wouldn't be for a few months. So thanks in advance for the help

First...read this thread...and read the entire thing

Forums/t=791843/beginners-guide-t...40711.html

If you are in it just for COD lobbies...you'll get bored quick. If thats really all you want to do...save your cash.

If you want to play emulators, play games directly off the HDD w/o a disc, mess around with offline mods (COD, Red Dead, Crysis, Halo, Fallout for example) JTAGs are great.

I JTAGed my 1st box for the sole reason of playing games straight off the HDD w/o the disc. This allows me to rent games from a local video store and then play them whenever I want. Also helps my lazy ass so I don't have to get up and swap discs.

Which is best for you? Thats for you to decide. Xenon's are the cheapest, but most prone to problems. Jaspers are the most reliable, but about double the price. That decision is yours and yours only to make.

Check out that thread and see what ya think.

Good luck!
