iBotPeaches Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Different XeDK Types: Demo Kit:Used at trade shows like E3.Looks exactly like a Retail 360.The most basic model that will run unsigned code, and access PartnerNet. Reviewer Kit:Is a Smoky Gray Color, like a Dev Kit.Usually has a 60GB Hard DriveShipped to reviewers at magazines, and websites.Test Kit:White like retail models.Usually has a sidecar attached, if it doesn't wires will be coming from the top, allowing a sidecar to be attached.Only the DVD Emulation port is installed thoughHas larger Hard Drive, usually about 100-160GB. Dev Kit:Is a Smokey Gray color.Has Kernel Debugging enabledMay, or may not have a Sidecar attached.Usually has a bigger hard drive (100-160GB). Extras:Sidecar - This is the big chunk on top of some XeDKs that you see on the internet. It will have either one or two USB-B ports on the back, if it has one, then you can use the DVD Emulation feature, and play Debug/Work in Progress games directly from a computer's Hard Drive; if the Test/Dev Kit has two Ports one will be the DVD Emulation, the other will be the PIX (Performance Investigator for Xbox) port, which lets you see what the CPU is outputting. Power Supply - 213W needed for Sidecar, otherwise retail PSUs will work fine Benefits:Play test/dev builds of unreleased/prereleased gamesPartnerNet is freeDVD drive is not locked to consoleCan be reflashed at anytime to any versionPlay games off hard driveHard drive not locked to console, can use any size SATA HDDCan take screenshots or videos of gamesPlay homebrew built XEXsBackup games to your PCMulti-region Downfalls:PartnerNet is nowhere near Lives statusCannot play retail games (unless patched)There is no warranty, so if you get the three red lights, you have to fix it yourselfGetting the SDK and/or SDK tools is much harder than getting the XeDKCost is significantly higher than a brand new retail 360Not all games that are patched can be played Questions:How much should I pay for...?The best answer to this question is, "How much would you pay for this ____(truck,car,house,monitor,...)?" If you still don't get it, there is no set price, it's all based on numerous factors (condition,what's included,type,...). The best advice I can give is base it on how much the other person is selling it for. PartnerNet, tell me more...Yes it's free, but you will find 1/900th the populace of Live on it and it does not interoperable with Live. You cannot download movies or TV shows. However, Live Arcade, updates, add-ons, and unreleased versions of those are available for free. Taken from a site, which apparently took it from xbox-underground.
Decatur Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 i r so smart nao! Never heard of test kits or reviewer kits.
Korupt Data Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Thank you for posting this, now all the devnubs can stop asking about kits =/
iBotPeaches Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 I wonder where this came from... I took it from xbox-scene, but it was quoted from xbox-underground.
Slidell Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks for the info my curiosity has been satisfied.
xX Epsilon Xx Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 What is Kernel-Debugging? Is that what allows RTH?
mtwomg Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Trust me, no one on this site is smart enough to do anything meaningful with the XDK. Edited February 26, 2009 by mtwomg
ddxcb2 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Link to the article on X-U, or I will DDoS the site, and report it to Microsoft for leaking the SDK.
iBotPeaches Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 You could have asked nicely, since honestly I didn't know where it came from since I got it from xbox-scene. Reporting a site will do nothing except a war of reporting other sites. I wouldn't threaten with that, otherwise all sites would begin to get reported. And your going to DDOS the site? Grow up, ask first then demand later. Kids these days have no patience.

iBotPeaches Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Posted April 10, 2009 You need a god damn developer/demo/reviewer kit to mod Halo 3, since there's no way to crack/factor/resign (I don't know correct term) the RSA encryption on the map files, without bypassing it (which is what you can do on a dev kit) Hope that helped.

T3A guy Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I have a demo kit ?it's good ? ican mod .map with construct no ?Yes, if you had a demo kit then you would be able to mod .map with construct, but I wouldn't suggest buying one.
Random1225 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Ya $800 for xbox you might not even know how to use doesn't sound like a smart thing to do.
