    I guess I'm one of the only people who likes the original and massive xbox controllers. Such a shame.

    Agreed! I think the illegal modders should sue for infringing on their intellectual property rights. The existing xbox media centers are great. Plus, they have built in support for playback of dvds where the unmodded xbox requires you to plunk down $30 for a "dvd playback kit" that is basically just a remote as the system already supports dvd playback, it is just "locked".


    It is far from certain how much relief they can be granted considering that they stoles Microsoft IP to create their "product".
