I have had my XBOX 360 (with the 20GB hard drive) for about three weeks now...and I have been reading and reading through forums, posts, websites, etc...and I still can't decide which mod will work best for my situation. I would like to be able to create backups of my games on DL DVD+R's and play them with my XBOX 360. I have a dedicated theater in my basement and I am using the wireless controllers b/c the 360 is in the equipment room on the other side of the wall. I can't really hook a PC to the 360 b/c I don't want another PC in my house somewhere else (to many already). I have a media center PC in a closet in my office and the 360 is up and running using the Media Center extender...works great. Based on the no PC restriction...which one would be the best mod for me...or will any work? I mod'ed several XBOX's for friends back in the day...so if I need to solder something...that should not be a problem. I am not a big XBOX LIVE user yet, but I did pay and sign up for an annual subscription, so given the time I would like to be able to use this. I appreciate anyones opinions based on their good and bad experiences, and I appreciate all the of information that everyone shares on this Forum...thanks.
