Has anyone modded their Xbox with significant results? Any suggestions? Success stories?
- Mimio0
It's sweet. Throw a large HD in there as well , just store all the games in the machine.
- useful_idiot0
have you done it? easy?
- Mimio0
I didn't do it myself. My friend is a computer tech. He set me up.
- Brooklyn0
Yep, me too. Got this done by someone else though. It works perfectly... even better with a DVD-Writer, which my friend's providing me games for 10$...
The only thing though, not sure this thing works with XBox Live!... Anyone knows a way to make this work? And is it possible to play with copied games, or do you need the original one to play online?

I put a 120gig hdd in my xbox. Works very good with almost no loading times during gameplay. You can play online, but not with Live!. I would recommend http://www.xlink.com if you own a chipped xbox. These are also okay, install all three and you can use them all - http://www.xbconnect.com & http://www.gamespy.com

there is a mod chip that you can turn off. you need that one if you're going to try to use xbox live, otherwise you'll be banned from the service if they detect it. you also dont want to put a new HD in if you're going to use xbox live.
AND you will need original copies of xbox live titles if you want to play them online, unless you use xboxconnect or gamespy arcade.
the xbox mod is really easy to install, solderless.
full info on modding your xbox can be found here. great site.

Yup, I've installed xboxconnect and this works pretty well actually!
Thanks guys :-)

Even better idea would be to sell your x-box and go and invest in a GAMECUBE.
It's got more quality and less microsoft - what more could you ask for?
- jevad0
more quality?!?
I have both and I have to say the xbox shits on the GC for quality of games and gameplay...
- cookie0
hmm - i know people with both.
Maybe you're just buying the wrong games/into the wrong games.. ;)
metroid?
num nums.
and x-box is big and ugly. ugh - and what a silly name - it's like for fourteen year olds who want something 'hardcore'.
cookie steps into the debate - bring on the bashings.

theres a xbox mod out that works with live, you can disable the mod by holding the eject button till the light turns from green to red ( or vice versa.)

selling my gamecube was the best move i ever made.
- quamb0
i have a friend who has an xbox.
we always find ourselves bringing over a gamecube and hiring controllers.
i guess xbox lacks the kinda games we dig.
- Brooklyn0
Come on guys...
GAMECUBE!!! This is for kids with "Super Mario Bros." kind of games! You need Halo, Wolfenstein, Rally Sports Challenge, Outlaw Volleyball, and Medal Of Honor... oh, also Counter Strike maybe... I know they have almost the same games... but everyone I know that have a Gamecube, wants to sell it right after they come over to play on my Xbox... Graffix are great, action, RPG and sports are tough to beat on Xbox...

"and x-box is big and ugly. ugh - and what a silly name - it's like for fourteen year olds who want something 'hardcore'. "
Yes, this is also something that 14 year olds would comment on.
I dont give a rats ass what my console looks like or what its called. I think the games are far more interesting.
I guess you couldnt come up with anything better to complain about..
- mitsu0
being middle of the road on most everything, i just take the 'get them all' approach as opposed to either/or
although, i should point out i just contradicted myself as i haven't found a worthwhile game on the xbox to actually go and burn money on the system...
- Depthflow0
Have you tried Star Wars KotOR ? Awesome RPG that is!
- Brooklyn0
haha good one Deepflow!
But you know what? We could argue like for days about that, when all of this only goes for personnal matters...
It's like in music... each and every one find their way in one kind and doesn't fit to others... same thing here... I don't know if between XBox, Gamecube or PS2, there's one better, but for me and the type of games i like to play, XBox leads the way, that's all that needs to be said about it.
;-)
- Depthflow0
Totally agree with you. I never said any of the consoles is better. =)

the Sega Master System ownz you all!
