xk3y 'Unlocks' Your 360!

4.4
Hey guys, Rickshaw here, I am pleased to announce that our friends over at xk3y have sent us over a brand new xk3y which is allowing me to introduce it to you guys, right here, right now! Some of you guys may have already seen this, heck some of you guys might already own this! Basically the xk3y is a ODD emulator which allows you to play backups of your own games off a USB stick! Right out of the box I knew this thing was going to be one of the best ways to play backups on the Xbox 360. It was boxed with care, amazingly compact, extremely user-friendly, and was setup in no more than 10 minutes!




With all the random products that are released its hard to know what is a good product and what is a complete waste of money. The way the xk3y team takes pride in their work reassures me into fully believing that this is going to get continued support and the dedication something that is always changing needs. Once I got the product home I very quickly noticed that they had an 'Authorize your xk3y' button on their site. In able to gain access to their forums for support and updates you must verify you have purchased an authentic xk3y.


They have a full team dedicated to helping others aswell, which is a huge bonus in my eyes. Even though this is plug and play hardware it still can get frustrating at times.


How it works:
The xk3y works by bridging in between your 360 motherboard and your ODD, it then splits off to where it can accept a HDD or a SSD and emulates the drive.


    Requirements:

  • You will need your DVD Key which can be easily grabbed.

  • You will need an Authentic xk3y product.

  • You will need a MicroSD USB/Card Reader.

  • You will need a Computer.


My final verdict on this xk3y is going to be that it is an amazing product. When I first seen it I figured it was just going to be an alternative to people who cannot flash their drive to play backups of their own games, but once I got one of my own I realized I was very, very wrong. This is a must, not an alternative.


It has an extremely clean case, they put a lot of time into constant development and updates, and you can tell by the product itself that they are genuinely proud of their product. This is well worth $130.00 in my eyes.


Below you will find some pictures from the assembly and unboxing of the product, aswell as a picture from the completed product and a link to purchase your own xk3y!

-ACTIVEz- Will it work on any dash? I have an xbox that is not able to connect to live and has the 2009 dash(idk dash #'s).

Also does it require this extra stuff?

Drive key extraction
Full install

It requires the latest dash, you do not need live to play these games unless you want to play multiplayer, when you get the product, in most cases it should come with a set of instructions on how to install via the type of xbox you own, however my friends case was different and he didn't receive instructions... but if there is anything else you need to know just pm me or what not and I'll gladly fill you in with details!


in addition you will need your drive key, however you can find that once you plug it up to your pc and run the software that unlocks the drive!
