    I have got a new xbox. I never got round to opening as we got a 360. I was going to put it on eBay but reading this post got me thinking whether I should mod it first. Would it be worth modding it or leaving it for a buyer to do if they wanted to?

    Hmm I reckon it's probably worth modding first

    Thanks for the info, so I need a memory card to go into the gamepad aswell? I was hoping I would be able to manage with just the usb pen :confused:

    Guess I got the wrong end of the stick on that aswell lolz

    No you don't need a memory card but you will need a USB adapter. I didn't use this method as I managed to source a memory card and did it that way but this guide tells you how to do it with a USB stick http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/USB_Storage_To_Xbox_Memory_Card_HOWTO

    HTH
    This site has saved me a fortune :money: ...it's also cost me a fortune! :doh:

    Modding it up makes it a little more valuable...I sold mines with loads of copied games for £60 on playtrade....woo me!

    I'm totally confused about how I get the files from the USB pen to the xbox? I saw a tutoriol on making an xbox controller into a USB device which seemed simple enough, but I just cant figure out were the usb stick fits in to the equasion?

    It sound like you're making the wrong thing.

    You don't want an x-box gamepad with a USB plug on the end - you want an X-box gamepad PLUG with a USB SOCKET on the end.

    That said - as it means mascaraing a gamepad, you might be better off just buying an AR.

    You were right, I was looking at the wrong thing :o I decided against it anyway and ordered a cable from ebay which is the right fitting :D

    I am so stuck with getting the drivers on to the USB stick :sad: I have changed the digits around but I am not getting action reply in the driver list, just the usb mass storage device one, any idea were I am going wrong? I think the USB formatted okay in the xbox, i got the message about it being erased.

    Thanks

    If anyone is still after one of these, i have one modded (via the softmod method) and it's set to use the xbmc as the default dashboard.. no games included and has the standard sized HD in it.. i just need to get rid so i'd let it go at the same price i got it from Game (£19.99) plus courier delivery at £8.50... let me know if anyone wants it

    Does anyone know anywhere in East Anglia with these in stock? I'm guessing ringing them up is the best option!
    Update - walked into the one in Ipswich, there were 2 or 3 on show, all with £19.99 written on the box.

    Cashed in my £10 voucher and got meself a £9.99 Xbox with a controller - picked up PGR, Forza & Burnout 3 as well as a quality RGB Scart lead for £15. Wahey!

    Anyone have an idiot proof guide to modding this into XMBC? I would rather not go and get an action replay thingy, but will if I have to - i'm handy with PC's (i.e. i built my own), but know nothing about consoles.

    I think it is mentioned in earlier postings but I found the LifeHacker guide the best using an Action Replay from Play.com.

    Would anyone be able to put the save I need on a memory card? I dont have an action replay, and would much rather pay someone else postage both ways and a little extra to get it on a memory card.

    I dont have a memory card yet, though - how big does it need to be? I have Splinter Cell (no idea which one, yet though.)
