Look right above the B button. Notice the background around it. This is an obvious Photoshop copy and paste. While the menu does look semi-authentic, it is entirely possible that it may be a modified version of a previous dashboard skin or bios skin from the original Xbox. We didn't want to spend time looking for the skin. When we contacted icemodchip.com about these inaccuracies, they responded by removing the images from their site and telling us that they were ONLY concept images and that the menu in the modchip was different.

Inaccuracies in email claims

The following is email correspondence between me and Team I.C.E.

In response to a question asked about who had mod chips for testing, we got this reply.

Xbox-scene has one, foundmy.com has 1, and hack360.com has one. More samples to be sent shortly.

We attempted to contact Xbox-Scene and Hack360. Xbox-Scene replied and confirmed our suspicions that they had indeed not received a single thing. Currently, we have still not heard back from Hack360 (But I personally believe this is true of all three of the mentioned sites). After contacting him back asking why they denied having received the modchip from him, he told us this:

People with samples have a close lid on this matter as there is a security issue at hand

I would like to note that there is no security matter. All I asked was whether this claim was true. The response, Absolutely NOT. In fact, when posting the question on the forum, I was greeted with a rude reply and the topic was locked and deleted (Supposedly someone was creating multiple names and posting links to icemodchip.com along with "false" information [Or that's at least what I'm told]). But not to worry, we sorted that all out after I contacted them.

Also, threatening a journalist is probably not the best thing to do. This is probably one of the major reasons I decided to follow up and spend four days worth of research into this matter (Would have only been two, but an unfortunate power surge lost some research.)

In response to me telling him that I was unable to publish the info, he sent me this:

Verify as you wish, but we expect something produced now for the information provided and our time spent.

I just want to note, just because you answered my emails doesn't mean I'm obligated to publish something. However, since you expect something to be published, this is what you're going to get.

Do the Math

In one correspondence, I requested wholesale prices. And here they are

70.00 per unit 100 pes $5,500.00 250 pes $13,700.00 500 pes $25,000.00 1000 pes $46,000.00 5000 pes $245,000.00 10000 pes $500,000.00

At first glance, everything looks normal, but let's do the math anyways.

5,500.00/100 = 55 USD per piece 13,700.00/250 = 54.8 USD per piece 25,000.00/500 = 50 USD per piece 46,000.00/1,000 = 46 USD per piece 245,000.00/5,000 = 49 USD per piece 500,000.00/10,000 = 50 USD per piece

I know it's hedging on nit picking, but this helps demonstrate the quality of this outfit.
