How To Download XBOX Video Games: Hacking The XBOX

For those of you who found my PSP Article to be useful and informative I am writing another installment only for the Xbox!

XBox is one of the other great consoles out there that games are available for download online. It isn't very difficult to get games uploaded and running. I personally was able to accomplish this after a small purchase of a Hard Drive I found on tiger direct. I was able to score a 250 GB drive for $70.00 at Christmas time in 2005.

Can you imagine how many movies and games that equates to? A WHOLE LOT!

After installing the drive I began downloading games and movies like crazy. After the 8 months of having this new and improved XBox I have only managed to fill up half of the space. I could even delete some of the movies/games I don't want anymore to free up space if I were to need it.

Getting games up and running on your X Box isn't very difficult and won't cost you too much compared to the amount you could end up spending on 5 games. I would say for the price of 1 game a month I can have 20 games. Just by downloading them. Not to mention I don't have to pay for movies either. I just download them from my subscription site and upload to the XBox and watch them on my Big Screen TV!

Here is what you will need to get this up and running:

  • A mod Chipped XBOX or A Soft Boot CD(Google them)
  • A Larger HD(highly recommended since you will be getting games like CRAZY!)
  • Internet Connection(You should have this if you are reading my awesome articles.)
  • A Few Hours a day.
  • dvd Burner if you want to put games/movies on dvd. Not a requirement really!
Hey, that doesn't sound like too much to me. I will try to explain these requirements. The modified XBox is required to install larger HDs and software to allow you to play movies and downloaded games. If you don't want to buy a pre modified XBox or know how to solder then the soft boot cd is for you. You just put the CD in then put in your downloaded game. Internet Connection - obviously you need to download them somehow? The few hours is what it usually takes me to download any popular title. Finally the dvd burner, this is only if you want to burn games or movies to dvd. They won't fit on CDs. I personally upload all of my titles to the xbox via an Ethernet cable.

If you would like more information on downloading video games you can check out this site I stumbled across. They seem to provide the better sites and information about downloading games. I use them for all my video game needs.

Say No to Unhealthy Diets and Yes to Exercise

Trying to shed some extra weight? Unhealthy diets are NOT the way to do things! Avoiding foods from certain food groups can have unpleasant side-effects such as dull complexion, limp hair, tiredness and even bad breath. Is that what you want in exchange for losing a little weight? I guess not.

The proper way of doing things is to increase your metabolism rate so that you burn more fats even when you are resting! At least 30 mins of cardio activity 3 times a week should help you see some results. Some cardio activities include running, cycling, swimming and brisk walking. Be sure to choose an activity that you like so that you will stick to it. If you have the time, why not increase your exercise program to 30 mins 5 times a week? If you feel that you don't have time to dedicate to exercising, taking the stairs, doing housework and walking the dog also help increase your metabolism rate, though much less than if you were doing intensive workout. Some little things you can do if you are very busy at work are, alighting one bus-stop earlier and walking to your destination, cycling to work instead of taking the bus or fetching your own coffee at work instead of getting your colleague to do so.

exercise also promotes better blood circulation, which in turn gives you a glowing and radiant complexion! As you sweat, dirt and oils from your pores are also pushed out, so exercise can also help keep pimples at bay. However, remember to cleanse your face properly after exercise to prevent dirt from clogging up the pores again. Good luck with your exercise program!
