    HI,
    I want to Jtag my 360 as someone told me that I could put all my games on to an external hard drive and play them from there.
    My kids have ruines 2 discs so far so would like to back my games up etc.
    How do I know if my 360 is Jtagable.
    Cheers
    Sham.

    Go into console settings and check system information for a dashboard version of 2.7371 or lower if it is your in luck check the Modding services sticky for a local modder to do it for you

    You need to check the last 4 or 5 digits of the code, 2.0 isn't the identifier your looking for. It will likely be 7371, 8955, 9199, 12611 or 12625. Your looking for 7371 or lower.

    More generally, if you connected to xbox live after August 2009, or you played a game released after August 2009 you're out of luck :)

    But the System Dashboard version number is the best way to know for sure.

    This is the latest dashboard so no it's not exploitable :(

    You've probably played a newer release game on it recently, which has the update on the disc & is needed to play. 12625 means that console won't be exploitable as justryan stated...your only other option is to buy a jtagged one or one that is exploitable.

    If all you want the jtag for is to stop your kids from ruining discs theres going to be a new product coming out in july that will allow you to play your games from a external hdd without a jtag its called the x360key http://x360key.com/

    Thanks for the reply folks
    I only updated it a couple of weeks ago I guess when I bought 2 games for my kinect.
    Ah well
    The x360 key seems interesting, I will keep an eye on it.
    Thanks again.
