Of course there is always a chance of bricking it, i was actually looking at one of these a while back, i even asked the guy who owns the shop what theyre like, he said he`s had some good feed back on them, but personally ive not used one, but would be interested in reading what others who have used one really think.

I think I'll be keeping my box offline and watching the forums until some reports come in about this update.

[SKUNK1111]

forget about any kits m8 there not worth it .(they just save plugin the power pack to the 360)Place to start is here.-http://www.360mods.net/index.php now download the idots guide and read that then goto xbins and download the software you will need it realy is simple to do now as 3 commands in dos does the full hack.
1 samread
2 samhack etc you will understand once youve read the guide once or twice,also get a pendrive to dump your firwares 2 as floppys can be risky

I read on a few sites that the update would block your system via its bios code but not your account. my account expires next week and I dont often go online so I thought why not, I have nothing to lose.

The update message had been coming up for weeks and I had just clicked on cancel but yesterday I clicked on OK and ran the update.

I was thinking the worst after the 360 rebooted but it all came up fine, I inserted me backup of pgr3 and went online and no problems, then played my backup or stuntman for an hour and it was cool.

just been playing pre evo for a bit and its still fine, been online and no blocked or anaything.

Not sure what firmware I have a(as uaual) I had it done at a local shop earlier thsi year but the update hasnt affected the system in anyway.

AFAICT you will be banned if you're not running the latest iXtreme firmware with stealth backups. See xbox scene for details
