Apparently from modding Xboxes.

Wow, that's a lot of xboxes to mod. Enough to pay for that super nice house I guess.

Super nice house... with no furniture. Heh.

Anyone else kinda bothered at how they let those drives drop off into the lake at the end? Am I just being a dork by caring?

I guess when you have over 1500 losing 3 or 4 isn't going to bother you that much.

It looks the line needed some extra help about 5 seconds into it.


Also when you are modding an xbox why do you take out the hard drive?

Probably to put in a new much bigger one.. the original ones were only 8GB. And getting rid of an 8GB hard drive is probably impossible.

Cause you get rid of the dinky 10GB(I can't remember how big the original was) HDD from the xbox, and you throw in a nice 200-500GB drive to store all your legitimately backed up games =P
