Still thinking about picking one up in a month or two. What kind of mods can you do to it? And what are some fun games? Halo 2 is already on the list, anything else?

Apparently the new Xbox is due out next month...worth the wait?

I edited the post to include my fiendishly clever search string :)

Note that I used Advanced search, I gave up on the regular search box months ago.

I think I need to post less...I'm getting forum-alzheimers, lol. Oh well, nobody really answered the mod question in that thread, they just point to web links. It almost seems better just to build a media center/gaming PC...

No, it will just be previewed / "unveiled" on May 12.

Xbox360 will probably be much less mod-friendly and may not support a hard drive.

It also may not play any Xbox 1 games since the audio/video has changed from nvidia to ATI, and the processor from intel to Power PC. Virtual PC emulation might be fast enough, but no one knows yet and Mac G5 emulation of intel CPU is dog slow.
