Here are some Xbox 360 mods that aren't exactly authorized but won't cause you - or Microsoft - too much grief. Since the so-called 20GB hard drive (with only 11GB available space thanks in part to preloads) fills up fast with free Xbox Live Marketplace trailers and demos, you may need more storage fast. Fortunately, it's not much trouble to rig up an external hard drive for a quick fix (and your already ripped MP3 collection). Any portable drive that supports USB 2.0 should work. Find more details and some recommendations at llamma.com. Don't like the headset that Microsoft makes? Well, you can plug in any headset with the right connector, but it won't have volume control UNLESS you can solder. You'll need to remove the connector on the default headset and rewire it with the one you want to use, per the instructions at gamersreports.com. It's actually pretty easy, and the worst thing that happens is you scrap your work and buy another crappy $20 headset...
