    ok i was told about an xbox mod i was wondering if someone could tell me what mod it is.. ok this mod allows you to directly install xbox games onto your system and from what i heard allows you to play ps2 games on your xbox too... not sure about the ps2 part but i'm really interested on being able to install my games onto my system because i hate having to drag my games along with my system (i travel alot) so if anybody knows what this is or how to achive this please drop me a line

    Thanx

    Have you done anything to your XBOX yet? mod-chips or software modding

    the best way to do that(for xbox games) is to replace the
    stock hard drive with a new and much bigger one. Then you can use a program called DVD2Xbox and copy from the original DVD right to the hard drive. Then play the games right off the hard drive with
    no disc needed.
    I have a 300GB Western Digital drive in my xbox because i really
    hate having to keep all of the DVD's. I keep a copy on the
    Xbox and a copy on my PC as a back up in case i need it.
    here is a tutorial on how to replace the HDD
    http://www.teammodders.com/viewtopic.php?t=672
    there are a lot of other usefull tutorials about FTP'ing games
    from xbox to PC and the other way around.
    Slayer 2.6 is great. It will format the drive, install all
    kinds of useful apps, dashboards, roms & emulators on the new drive
    Not sure if you have to have a modded Xbox to use it though
    because mine was premodded with a DuoX2 chip
    So if someone can confirm that it would help out.

    it was $199 and you can get them just about anywhere.
    online, Best Buy,Circuit City, CompUSA
    I just got a 160GB drive on sale at Best Buy this weekend
    It was $119 with $80 in mail in rebates so it will only cost
    me $40 in the end. I bought a Western Digital. But i reccomend
    Seagate or Maxtor. I have had some problems with the 2 Western Digital HDD's i had in my PC. Wait until black Friday (day after Thanksgiving)if you want to save money. Most store will have really great sales and early bird specials. I know CompUSA will
    http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/
    200GB Internal Hard Drive (AR) $29.99 (at CompuUSA)
    that is one hell of a deal, not sure what you pay before rebates.
    but a 200GB drive for $30 is beyond great.

    no, you don't need that thing. If you want to change the looks
    of the Xbox then fine, but there is no real reason you need
    that front panel.
    Instead of that i would spend that money and have a good
    mod chip installed. It has much more usefulness than that
    front panel ever will. Plus you may need a modded Xbox to play
    games and roms from your HDD, i am not sure. Mine was
    premodded when i bought it.
    Look around the site i linked you to for more info.
    they can mod it for you if you want a chip.
