    HI all I looked at some guides and I'm a bit confused. I don't have a Xbox but I thank it would be kind of fun to mod one and use it as a Media Center.
    I guess cost is a factor I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that is not that useful.
    From what I read I need splitter cell the game and some kind of adapter to turn the memory cards slot into a usb reader. I see so many different ways to mod the x box I don't know where to start. Most of the guides are very old and relay on games that will be hard to come by for software modeling.

    So before buy a Xbox and try to mod it I would like to know a few things first.
    1. Is a software mod the best way to go
    2. Will I need more hardware than the x box is self, if so how much will this cost me (including games)
    3. Can I watch DVDs on the Xbox without more hardware
    4. After I Mod it can any old IDE hard drive work
    5. Where is the best place to buy a used Xbox

    splinter cell hard to come by? .. every used games shop around here must have 50 copies at £1 each.

    I bought 3 .. and a controller to gut for the cable?.. big ones £2
