If you want a modded xbox, i'll do the mod for you... I've done a few for people in the past

 

Why not wait for Xbox 360 to come out in November which is based on windows media center and use it to play .mp3's and videos off the hardrive.

 

hmm, thinking about how to power the xbox/ps2. i'll need a power inverter but hear stories about interference both in the speakers as well as screens people have from the inverters. what other options do i have if any other than a dc-ac inverter?!?!

 

hamsters

 

I could see doing that if price wasn't an option, but I'm sure those will be siginificatly priced above the current X-box.

 

LOOOL!! hahaha, **** if they didnt eat and $hit, Id def put a hamster cage in the trunk!! But I'd prob. only get .005 Watts of power out of 3 hamsters...

 

Qball, i might have to take you up on your offer!!

 

xbox 360 will be 299 for the basic packadge (no harddrive, wired controller, no headphones) and the 399 premium packadge (20 gig harddrive, wireless controller, headphones).

 

no problem let me know, if you get a bigger hard drive I can hook that up with some stuff for you too

 

QBall, what chip do you put in the xbox and what would the capabilities be? Some of the chips i've heard would be that i'd be playing games off the hard drive of the xbox. How about being able to copy games and playing them off DVD's instead of the hard drive?

 

You can play burned dvd games with them but its much better if you opt for the bigger hard drive and play games off of it. The biggest advantage is that the games load much quicker. There is also software for the xbox that will allow you to put the dvd in the drive and then it copies the contents to the hard drive so you can "backup" games that are rented or borrowed

 

OK yeah im very interested in learning about this. Just let me know which chip to buy and what speed hard drive is recommended. I have a few spare just laying around.

I'll be buying the Xbox 360 as soon as it comes out but would still like to keep my xbox around for playing as well. BTW, say you have a 120GB HD, approx. how big is each game? DVD size, say 7-8 GB?

 

most are under the size of a single layer dvd so say average 3.5 gigs? i'll send you a pm when i get out of work with some chips to consider, going to those kind of sites might be frowned upon here at work

 

hmm i might have to go this route! only problem is xbox can only go in the trunk, not the glove box, therefore if I have a movie/game NOT on the hard drive I would have to go allll the way into the trunk and pop in the dvd movie/game. I'd also have to figure out a way to get the xbox IR sensor mounted so that I can use an xbox remote and it will still play/stop/ff/rew movies!!

qball, please PM me chips as well, i might just have to pick up an xbox and 120-160GB HD to have mine modded!!

thanks!
