Lol modding a PC isn't really modding. It's not like you have to unlock your PC to be able to run custom programs.
W... Wha... What... I... I don't even... Just... I shouldn't even touch this... I shouldn't even have to explain why this is terrible logic...

Modding isn't just modifying a system to accept mods. Modding is creating mods. It's modifying a game. Saying you can't really create "mods" on PC games because you don't have to "unlock your PC" to do it... it's wrong.

The use of the term "mods" in gaming most likely (Going to say most likely when I know it was. Just being careful) came from PC gaming. Saying it's not really modding on the platform is just... well... idiotic. Sorry to be that blunt about it but it is.

My original xbox is very precious to me as well and it's also rare nowThey're not rare at all. I thought about buying an extra one a while back just as a backup.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

I'm sorry, even though modding came from the PC, and even though you can mod PC games, it's not modding. I fail to see the logic there. Please, take this guy's advice and get off the internet.


My original xbox is very precious to me as well and it's also rare now, but playing the betas really does interest me a lot. I've seen xbox mods where people upgraded the CPU to a faster one and added more RAM to the Xbox.


I've thought about modding my Xbox before, but there's always a risk and I don't want to ruin my xbox, even though most of the games I have for it will work on my Xbox 360. I'm still on the fence about doing anything to my original xbox. I've messed up jailbreaks on my iPod Touch before, but that's easy to reset. An Xbox is a lot more complicated. I think custom maps in Halo 2 PC will be sufficient for my mods interests lol.


Original Xboxes aren't rare at all, they have a ton of them and games at every used game store I go to, plus if you softmod you can load original XBL dlc.

Also, if you bork a softmod on an Xbox 1, you can recover easily if you back up as all files are on the HDD.

Just to clarify to the people who think GameStop (or GAME in the UK) are the only gaming stores to exist, he's not talking about those. He's talking about actual used game stores that don't just stock things within this generation of systems...

Actually, we were talking about hardware mods. Not actual game mods. We were comparing softmods to actually modding the hardware of an Xbox. He mentioned doing the same to a PC and what I meant to say is that upgrading the parts in a PC is not considered modding. I assumed when he said modding on a PC he meant "hardware mods" since that was the whole discussion before.

Yeah, but all of this wouldn't help Halo 2s lack of good maps.
