The Xbox is Dead, Long Live the Xbox!
Posted by | Filed under Computers, Quickie
Which is to say, our Xbox died the other night mid-game, taking with it our beloved XBMC. This evening we broke down, bought a replacement and I’m setting it up right now. Wheee!

Alex: I had this problem on a 1999 Golf V5 however this solution didn't work. I phoned a mechanic, who said this:
1) Turn off ignition
2) Turn key part way but don't start the car. With some combination of wiggling the gearstick and turning the key without starting the engine, you can move the stick.
3) Hold the

Coffee Dannon is the BOMB ! ! Luv it. Especially Frozen. . It tastes SOoooooo Good. Sometimes when I look up again I've eaten 4 - .5 cups. By then I feel real happy and SATISIFIED !!!!
Janetxb: Another (former) Dannon coffee yogurt fan here..... until recently. I'd say for about 25 years I had one carton of Dannon coffee yogurt almost every day. I was pretty bummed out when they switched from 8- to 6-oz. cups, but I adjusted. Lately I do this instead: I put 1/2 t

I bought an XBOX when they were relatively new for the sole purpose of installing (at the time) XBMP. It now, of course, runs XBMC — and I couldn’t be happier with it. I worry about it dying. I had to solder the motherboard and flash the onboard bios ages ago, and I think that’s not the “way” to do it anymore.
Are you softmodding your new XBOX and having it boot into XBMC? It’s been so many years, I’m not sure I could do it anymore, at least not with some major research.
Also — where’d you buy one? eBay?

I softmodded it to run XBMC. The guys over at ProductWiki have an excellent tutorial on doing this. And yeah, these days the softmod/exploit works on any XBox and not just specific versions; so it’s uber-easy to perform the mod.
Picked it up at the local used game shop, Video Games Etc. Thought about checking eBay as I bet I could get it cheaper (paid $99 tax) but we’re having friends over and I wanted to have XBMC up & running to watch videos with.
