Ok what should I do with my old xbox?

[BullyCanadian]

Well, I had a thread not too long ago about my xbox dvd rom dying. Anyways yesterday I bought a brand new xbox (holiday pack with top spin and amped 2, AMPED 2 btw is a GREAT game) now what should I do with the old xbox, sell without controllers for $100, or mod it and use it as a media pc?

(EDIT)
Already have two people offering me $100 canadian for it, so I was just gonna jump and give it to them but thought I should ask what you people think first

i'll pay higher shipping than you, because i live outside the states, and therefore he is ripping me off more, and that is why i think i should get the 'box

Haha, well I'll just have it shipped higher priority so that it exceeds your international shipping cost!

I sold one for $80 USD with a bad dvd drive in it, so you can still get some money for them.

Fix it and have two... You can get new DVD drives off eBay for like $35 US.

mod it and replace the dvd drive. return the new xbox you bought.

Make sure you get the Samsung. The Thompson blows goats. (Majority of dead drives)

True, I would only add that after you mod the old XBOX you can rip the games you got with the new bundle before you return it. This is your only rational course of action, do this now.

I say mod the sucker... XBMC is truly a thing of beauty!

 

[rh71]

if you have a home theatre / big screen also in the house... mod it to be a streaming media player.

 

[Kelemvor]

I'd sell it on eBay for parts. Or opost it over at xbox-scene.com

 

[DaWhim]

sell it as is on ebay

The Sammys cost significantly more.

I've heard the new Thompsons are much better. But even if they aren't, you'll still get a couple of years out of one. Well worth $35, imho.
