Interesting article about the mod scene for xbox/consoles

This is cool stuff. I'd love to see a mod/developer community of gamers spring up around a console. (http://www.gamespy.com/editorials/january01/xbox/index2.shtm)

I'll more than likely be one of the few who grabs a hard drive for my PS2. Mostly for use of emulation of the dead oldschool systems and such. SNES/Genesis/NES/whatever. It's a pain to have to make homebrewn CD's of these things at this point. Hopefully I can just install them to the HD and bypass all the CD booting crap all together without the bother of grabbing any mod chips or gamesharks.
