I got an XBOX :D

Doom:
I've found a few guides. Haven't used any of them, but I'm for sure gonna upgrade my hard drive before summer vacation is over in late August.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MX6yk6MgGU - (part one) REALLY annoying background music. It's quiet most of the time though.
http://www.xboxhackz.com/tutorials/hardware/hdd/newhddinevox.htm A text guide, not video. Uses EvoX.
http://www.xboxhackz.com/tutorials/hardware/hdd/exthdd.htm - External HDD bay guide
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI - Another case of loud music...

Yet another guide. Besides the awesomeness of having all games on the HDD, now I'm considering a HDD upgrade less and less.
I can just run a NAS (Network attached storage) and the files will be accessible from all over the network, including from XBMC. I have a few spare hard drives and PCs (thinking about making a thread to show off your computers) and if I fux a 15 year old PC, no biggie.

I got another XBOX game, DDR Ultramix 3, with the Konami mat, for $2 at a yard sale today. Only problem - IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK! I have a curse with XBOX games I think. Out of the games I have now:
SWAT
DDR Ultramix 3
DooM3
Project Gotham Racing 2
Splinter Cell
The following DON'T PLAY or only play now and then:
SWAT
DDR Ultramix 3
Project Gotham Racing 2
Splinter Cell

Gonna buy some DVD-Rs, start up BitTorrent, download the games that I bought, and burn them and play the backups so I don't have to worry about scratching up my games even more.
Does anybody have the Burger King games? They work on 360 and XBOX and they're dirt cheap too.

Yeah, but that does not mean they are fun and engaging. After playing them for a while, they get boring fast.

Take the games that do not work to a GameCrazy, Hollywood Video, or Hastings and get the disc resurfaced for $2. It is cheaper than getting some DVD-Rs and the disc will look brand new again. I have an extra xbox Konami Dance Mat that I do not use, let me know if you want to buy it from me  :) .

1. I know, but I read Big Bumpin was good enough. I have a knack for getting enjoyment out of shitty games and if I find any of them for 1-3 dollars I'll consider it.
2. Nearest GC: 18 miles away. Nearest HV: hell if I know. Maybe built into the GC 18 miles away. Nearest Hastings: I don't even know if there is a Hastings in Ohio.
3. Already have a third party thin mat (Pelican), and I'm borrowing a thicker, much better one from a friend. Don't think I'll need a fourth one. However, may I ask you a question? How does the XB mat connect to the box? I'm guessing there's something that's supposed to go in-between the XBOX and the mat, but I didn't get anything like that.
