X-box and mods

I'm an X-box idiot. Never had one, never played one. But, I have been thinking of getting one but only if I mod it. I like that it plays divx, svcd, mp3 etc files, and that's the selling point for me.

Can anyone point a X-box idiot in the right direction? Are there dis/advantages to cetain mods? The solderless ones sound great, but is there a catch?

Assume I know nothing......that's not far from the truth anyways.
 
Yeah, I've been thinking of modding mine. I'm an X-box idiot, and I own one, so hey!! How much are you gonna pay for yours??? I got mine the day it came out, and with 2 games, 2 controllers, and a DVD kit I payed over $700:eek: , I know if I waited I could've got it alot cheaper, but I wanted to get it right away, plus it ws a gift from my grandparent( I ordered it for them), so I can't really complain since I didn't pay a penny.
 
I'd be wanting to do teh solderless aswell. Please explain where I would go about getting one of these mods. How much would it cost???
 
new one

150+tax, 3 games( NHL2004, KOTR are two ) , one controller, and 2 months of live free

Can't say where :)
 
if you guys have any specific questions I am skilled at the whole x-box mod thing

and dont do solderless, it sucks. way more hassle. the solder ones can be done in 5 minutes and never will cause problems
 
definitely stay away from solderless, i've seen 3 people mess up their boxes from a stupid pogo pin.
 
Where could I get the solder ones done, what is the price. What exactly does modding it allow me to do??? and Newf, do I smell a five finger discount, or just connections;)
 
you can mod halo without a chip or any mod, you just use the mech assault and memory card trick and run this little app that changes the cache memory.

wait this isn't car related, but now i want to get my car xbox up and running.

What can you do to Halo?
I am a serious Halo player but i don't get into modding.I have played thousands of hours of Halo ,and rergularly have at least 2-3 x boxs and 8+ people playing at any given time.
I want MOD INFO BAD!

What do you mean it makes it an entirely different world?
I thought that halo was one of the only games with no mods and no cheats because it was never "REALLY" comepletely finished upon release?
What is this mechassault and memory card trick?
Is mechassault the game with the giant controller?
If so ,would this be why they stopped making it as it is used as a boot type for modding?

I just watched that movie, didn't look like anything special. Split screen game of what I think was halo - kinda fuzzy. They both just die over and over.
