hey all,
my old xbox1 is still happily chugging away under my TV, but i only use it for FTPing episodes of Lost and Battlestar to it so i can watch them on my TV using XBMC. it has one of the original Xecuters in it that i installed myself. I also put a wiikey in my wii, so i'm not afraid to solder, but i'm not the world's best at it, and it makes me nervous to do it.
I really don't follow the xbox-scene much anymore, and rarely even use my new 360 to play games at all. I'm looking to make room under the TV and free up some inputs, so i want to retire the Xbox1, and give my 360 similar functionality. maybe just make it a media center that i can FTP divx files to, or load a game on the HD to play once in a while. xbox live is completely irrelevant... what's the basic rundown of what i'd need? i see many solder or non-solder kits... ones that flash your DVD firmware, and ones that install where the HD is located that allow you to flash that way, etc...
stuff like:

i'd basically like to go buy a bigger Hard drive, connect that externally to the 360, and load some sort of media center app on it.
is it even possible to rip games to the HD and play from there? or are DVD firmware flashes only good for playing backed up DVDs etc? i use this thing for exactly zero games, but maybe if the option was there i'd check a few out... as it stands, it's just a retarded DVD player, which the PS3 is fully capable of doing as well.
any info you can toss this way would be schweet.
