I wanna make my xbox special :)

Any mods mods out there? I bought my box second, hand, so I'm guessing the warranty is out (any idea how to check?)

NO! According to reports, it actually draws power away from the 360 and has been known to leave burns on the rear of the 360.

I'd like to know if there are any purchase-worthy faceplates for the 360 as well.

no doubt
just flash the DVD firmware and be on your merry way.

I wanna say that voids the warranty, right? I'd be all about doing that otherwise, I've got a modded first gen xbox :)

You have to take apart the console so yes.

of course it does. But your comment doesn't make sense. You would do it except for the voided warranty, yet you own a modded XBOX1?

Yeah - I'm a fan of modded consoles, but I'd prefer to not void the warranty on the 360. It looks like they have pretty hefty failure rate (judging from the number of broken ones on ebay).
