Having read all about linux on the Xbox and its ability to play divx etc..i think i want this more than the gamecube.
Is it worth buying simply for its modability?

Despite Microsoft`s lawyers getting heavy with every website printing info on porting stuff to the xbox without paying MS a license fee, I think it will see a constantly expanding set of free addons, much like the dreamcast has.

They do a chip which enables it to practically work like a home PC, my mate has one, and they are an absolute snip at around £199.

As far as I know its still the standard XBox. For what they`re charging it can only be a mod-chip. E-mail them and find out - they`re very helpful.
Heres a few of the features: Original Imports yes Usigned Code: yes Runs debug signed executables: yes Backups: yes No-Patch Hack: yes Eject Trick: yes HDD Swap yes Able to backup original games: yes Region Free DVD movies: yes Movie playback without dongle: yes Built in file browser: yes Run appz/games from h/d: yes etc...
£195 (+ p&p)
What a Bargain! Especially being able to backup original games to the hard-drive. I`ve seen pictures and heard of people modding their Xbox with a CD-writer, how cool is that?
