Can I possibly open my Xbox 360? I have no reason to, but I want to know any precautions as in possibly getting banned. How do I also remove the housing safely?



Best Answer

Exactly what the others have stated: Opening the console, without modification, only results in your warranty becoming void (providing you're still under the year).

However, should you tamper with the instruments themselves, for example, fitting a modified chip or tag, then this can be recorded and will most likely result in a console ban, not per GT.
