I bought a premodded Ltd edition green xbox, with xecutor 2 pro, 120 gb HDD upgrade and PSU upgrade - it literally arrived the day after I confirmed my order and paid a very good price via paypal (13 May 2003) and looks to be a very professional job! All software pre-loaded, well packaged for delivery etc.

The guy there was very helpful, answered all my questions patiently, and provided links to walkthroughs in response to some of my techier newbie style requests.

In my experience, a top outfit, and very informative, friendly and professional. Would definitely do business with them again.

100% Excellent Service Order 2 XBOX's At The Same Time, They Arrived Very Quick, Great Communication All Round Fantastic Service And Great Prices!!!

Keep Up The Good Work Mate

I bought a premodded Xbox with Samsung DVD-ROM and 120 gig hardrive (very quiet), preloaded with all the apps etc. Very helpful guy, answered all my questions before purchasing. Received the BOX in perfect condition, brilliantly packaged - ordered Monday, received Wednesday. He even knocked a tenner off the final cost for me!

Wouldn't hesitate in ordering from him again, very very pleased...

Got my xbox from premodded.co.uk today, modded, with 60gb hard drive and samsung drive. He was very helpful with every question I had about the Xbox and when I decided to buy one, it came in 2 days! Highly recommended.

Thanks, Oli

Excellent service, excellent support. I got everything I need from them.

BTW, I'am from Croatia and had NO or 0 problems with ordering and delivery.
Internatioanl delivery? no problem they do it all.

I'am would be happy to do business with them again.
www.premodded.co.uk is first-class service.

Just superb!!!

What can I say about premodded.co.uk. ?

Buy from them as you won't be dissapointed. I ordered an executor 2 modded box late last night and collected it in person myself this afternoon. The service I have received is outstanding and I can't thank them enough.

They even took the time to point me in the right direction as to where to goto get help and advice.

These guys are top people and really know their stuff, they come very highly recommended from me and I know where I will be going to get myself an super size HDD soon.

Many Thanks guys, really appreciate your patience with me.

Thanks

Just thought I'd give this site a bump.

Great service, couldn'd ask for anything more.
Responded quickly to all emails I sent and went out of their way to accomodate me. Answered all the questions I had. Even repaid a £15 overpayment I made by accident(couldnt ask for much better than that:)
Great prices and fast shipping. Would recomend to anyone especially if you live in Europe.

well it seems i'm saying pretty much the same as everyone else....visited in person...took 2 xboxes for modding

1) x2.1 lite + 120gb hdd
2)x2.1 lite

--------

great guy...talked me through everything and answered any questions i had.
decent price...even better since i didnt have to splash out for postage costs.

overall...superb..woul reccomend premodded.co.uk to anyone in england..even more so if you are in the local area

11/10!

This site is amazing,
I bought mine, sent a check and got it packaged superbly in the post, straight after it cleared. Have run into no problems at all, all software amd emulators installed nicely!
120GB upgrade for £90.. i mean what the hell other incentive do you need!

10/10

I purchased a premodded XBox from there a few days ago. NorthernMonkey was extremely helpful in everyway. I had every E-Mail responded to, some within the hour. Every question I asked was answered very helpfully, which was one of the main reasons I chose to go through the company.

The item was packaged very well, leaving my box in perfect quality. All extras I asked for such as Pads and a modded RGB lead came in the same box, but were packed so that the analogue sticks weren't bent which could cause damage.

The console came with loads of very useful programs, and the website has some very helpful downloads and links for an FAQ.

Thank you very much.

-I totally recommend the service they offer!

Anyone know what happened to the site?

Well Ive just been looking at the site and its still there, I am considering using these guys, can anyone tell me the general are of the uk they resided in, Im in Wigan, Lancashire, just being a miser hoping to save on postage costs.

Yea, it was down for about a week, up yesterday and now it's down again.
I'm guessing the guy is having some hosting problems or something.
Posting is only £15 next day delivery.. and it will probably cost that much in petrol to drive there and back if you were to use car

Yep Ive just tried the site again from home, and Im getting the holding page, wasn't sure if I was viewing a cached version.

Hope he sorts it out soon

yep hosting problems here alright, anyway should be back up tomorrow (02/07/03) and a completly new re-designed site ready by the end of the week

temp site here for now http://www.premodded.34sp.com/pre/

Ordered my xbox on Wednesday morning and it had arrived by thursday morning!!! Will definately be using premodded in the future.

One of the best people I have purchased from, as he replied to all my emails almost imediately and answered all my questions.

10/10 Keep up the good work mate!

I have bought a LE green xecuter 2 pro 120gb premod off them, everything was there and working pre-installed apps/emulators. Extremely good value, great service, recieved quick and without any damage. Their warranty is extremely trustworthy since my xbox didn't like loading the modchips hacked bios after a while, i emailed them and they payed to have my xbox collected and returned.

Ppl especially in the UK go with them.

I give them 10/10

wouldnt hesitate to use these guys again , after a coupla e mails back and forward(answered very quickly btw ) i ordered 2 empty cases , arrived 2 days after they said they would be sent out , , excellent packaging , and excellent condition cases , very very very helpful

yep , jus recieved yet another order i had placed with these guys , recieved it the day after id told it had been posted nice , keep it up guys

Used these guys twice, once for a new pre-modded box and once for an upgrade. Both times the service and communication has been second to none. Highly recommended.

just got another order , i cant recommend these guys enought ,

Has anyone ever tried to unplug a chip this guy has fitted????

I tried to unplug a 2.3pro he had fitted but the header pin plug came away from the chip.
On closer inspection it was obvious he had put superglue on the header pins to stop anyone safely removing the chip but him.

This is an unscrupulous practice & i have emailed him to ask why he does it but i still await a reply!

Slim

Got a reply!

quite simpley to hold the bugger in place, to be
honest 99.9% of X2 installs I have used wires for the very reason that with a
Pin Header install there's a chance the chip can slide off if bumped about by
courier in transit, not sure why on that particular one was installed with a
Pin header but because it was that would explain the dab of glue. Now if I
had pulled the header socket off I would try using the chip with the wire
install connection.

So i replied.....

What a naff answer!
There is no danger of a chip sliding off in transit if
fitted correctly! Those pins are always a snug fit and would have to slide quite a way to come off and
possibly travel through the DVD housing.
IF this was the case im sure a length of electrical
tape would be more appropriate than a blob of
superglue as this rendered the header pins unusable.
More chance of d0 coming off than the chip but that
did have Electrical tape over it so you do stock the
stuff!


Slim

EDIT* I note he conveniently changes the word "SUPERglue" to just "GLUE"

He is right about me not actually buying anything from him though, i was just unfortunate to have to clean up his mess behind him.

Please bear in mind this Crystal Xbox was barely 3 months old & had not been sent by courier.

Perhaps another customer would care to open his xbox at some time and see if it is held in with superglue or normal glue?

As for the sort of person i am, well im not the sort who would perform sly little tricks like using a great big dollop of SUPERGLUE on the modchip of a schoolboys Xbox**

Hi Slimgrip,

As you learn from experience, sending xbox's through the post is fraught with problems, if the xbox gets dropped (I know the post office aren't the most careful handlers in the world) then the mod can come off the pin header.

A small dab of superglue helps to keep the mod in place and is common practice.

I'm sure you would do the same if you sent xbox's through the post, after dealing with the costs of postage both ways for a quick 2 minute fix all your profits would be gone.

Glen.

thanks Glen like I told slimgrip I have sent litterally thousands of xbox consoles through the post If anyone is qualified on what can go wrong in transit I guess I am, like I explained to him 99% of X-Ecuter2 installs I used wires (A) because its quicker than taking motherboard out for pin header install and ( its less likely to come loose in transit. I have sent some X2-Ecuter chipped consoles out with PIN Header install and some of these have slipped off in transit hence the dab of glue to ensure it doesnt happen again after all if you ordered a console you wouldnt be happy if it was dead on arrival. In case you are wondering why one in every hundred X2 consoles had a pin header not wires then its probably because I needed to flash some SST flashroms, so I would crack open a new xbox, solder pin header to it and use a cheapmod socket to flash the SST chips, then use the PIN header to mount whatever modchip needed fitting for customer who ordered said xbox.

For the record all Xenium and SmartXX installs use PIN Header install method and I dont use glue I bend half the pins on the header about 2mm away from the other half and then slide on the modchip this ensures they dont slip off, plus these modchips are a lot lighter than the X2's.

And just so you modders know what sort of person Slimgrip is here's some of his email replies :

Great service, great product!

Ordered a Xenium w/ 120gig HD from him and it cam within a few days. Great product, very helpful

I ordered a LTD edition crystal Xbox with a X-ecuter 2.3b, 120 gig HD and HD activity light from these guys, well my dad did cause i reccomended him to it (cause ma b'day was just around the corner and i just did my exams), because it was the best modded xbox site i could find at the cheapest prices and delivery charges, i was a very happy bunny when it arrived ( in only 48hours for such a big parcel) the box that absoloutly untouched (normally in post it will get bashed, but not here) it was really good pre loaded with the latest evox dashboard with tons of applications emulators skins and everything you need to start hacking the XBOX!
its fantastic!
i HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS SITE! http://www.premodded.com go there now and order! ITS MOD-TASTIC!
Streety

I have just ordered a modded Xbox on Sunday from premodded.com and the site has been down for a couple of days now.

Getting a bit concerned as payment has been recieved and my email to the site has been unanswered.

Anyone know whats happened?

John

Has this site gone down or something?

Northernmonkey has been in touch and the site will be back up by the weekend apparently.

My order was dispatched a couple of days ago so it will hopefully be arriving today sometime.

John.

It's arrived - packaged up like Fort Knox - I'm impressed and I've not even opened the box yet.

Currently sitting on my desk at work and I'm itching to get it home and try it out.

Looks like I can add myself to the list of recomendations and hopefully the site will be back up again soon. Probably be back up by the time this post has been moderated.

John.

whats happened to the site?



The guy who runs it went on holiday, and now the site isn't working. Any one got any info? Because these guys seem to have the best xbox deal i can find.

Another premodded.co.uk/northern monkey mess i had to clear up.

Chap had paid for a modchip and got his TSOP flashed

http://www.worldxbox.co.uk/showthread.php?t=22282

No wonder his site is unavailable

The site is down at the mo, anyone got a clue when it's gonna be back up?

Ta.

Does anybody know if northenmonkey/Ben is back from holiday, The away message was removed from his site over the weekend formally "premodded" nowadvancedxbox

I understood orders would ship yesterday, but my order for my modded xbox is still pending (place while he said he was away).

I just fired off another email as I need the xbox this week while I off work to recieve it.

cheers guys.
