...yet highly popular) extra function that xbox mod chips provide. Once you've installed your mod chip, you can swap out the standard Xbox hard drive with just about any size hard drive you can get your hands on. My Xbox has a 320 gig hard drive now, loaded with emulators and games, and a slew of homebrew applications. But the best part of it all, is something called the Xbox Media Center.

The Xbox Media Center is an add on that you can install onto your Xbox hard drive (even the regular 8 or 10 gig hard drives will do) that turns your Xbox console into a full blow DVD Player, DivX player, Mp3 Player, streaming video player, and so much more. In fact, it'll turn your Xbox into quite possibly the most advanced entertainment system available, all for a price of $0.00 - because you own the Xbox already.

With this simple installation (an Xbox Mod chip is required) you'll have a Region Free DVD player, a DivX movie player, a file manager, built in SNES emulators and NES Emulators, as well as sega Genesis / Mega Drive emulators and various other tools.

If you have a larger hard drive installed, there is also a piece of software built in called DVD to Xbox. This very unique software allows you to insert your Xbox disc into your Xbox, and then select the COPY DVD to XBOX and it will actually transfer your entire DVD disc, to your hard drive. You can play the game from the hard drive just as you would from a regular DVD disc, without the excessive load times.

Hardware design flaws require a repair or replacement of the faulty components.

The high percentage of faulty units discourages many repair centers. Sending your Xbox 360 back to Microsoft will take up to 6 weeks and may cost you even more money. It might be a good idea to check out online repair guides or kits that just may help solve the problem faster and cheaper.more

...ors sound a little fishy, although it is confirmed that this console will be able to play over 20 years of Nintendo Games. It is unclear whether this will be accessed through purchasing them on a disk or downloading through the new Internet-Accessible console (a bit late there eh Nintendo?) but either way it is a treat for old school gamers.
