I've been out of the scene for about 2yrs and finally got back into again. I used mine mainly for playing back ups and emulators. Just curious what else u guys use the XBOX for or how else u use it? _________________

Where do I start? I originaly modded my xbox to use the mods for MVP Baseball 2005 ( www.mvpmods.com ). Then I found out about emulators for the xbox. Sent all my roms I had for pc emulators to my xbox to use with a controller. Once I learned to upgrade hdds, I started backing up my games to the xbox to cut down on loading times. When my network adabter fried on my laptop, I used the LinksBoks web browser to check my message boards (including this one ). Lately though, I've been deleting my backups to make room for movies. I love using xbmc as a mediaplayer for all my movie backups. The IMDB lookup is a great feature. I've also been using it as an ftp seerver to send and recieve files (way faster then over a messanger). Its also great when I have people over cause I can plug it into my stereo and play all my music. _________________

This days, running through Fable (again and again) and FIFA 07 are the only Xbox games I play. I use it mainly for emu's these days. The Mega Drive and SNES emulators are in almost constant use.
Watch a few films on it too as its more realiable than my DVD player.

Well I have an Xbox I payed $20 or 25 for I can't remember exactly and I use it as a test bed of sorts when I'm tryin a new program or makin any extreme changes to an XML files I also fool around and create a few small apps for my personal use from time to time just to keep up on my programming skills. They're pretty much useless but it keeps me on my toes. All my others get used for pretty much evreything and are usually always in use for some reason or another. I have one Xbox that I put over $800 not including the price of the box or the X-3 chip and I have all my movies, music games, pictures, and every app and skin I have on it since its the only one I have that can hold that much info(it has four 500GB HDs). I don't really use that one that much cause I don't want it to F**k up, but it does get used atleast a few times a week to watch movies etc... _________________

You inspired me to go play some fable I've only been playing madden and mvp lately. Really what I want is a 360 and fable 2 though. Has that came out yet? _________________

I never did find out what the lost chapters add to the game that it needed to be a full disc.

The lost chapters isnt just an expansion... well actually it is. But it comes with the entire game. So you really dont need to have the original version. With the lost chapters, you get quite a few extra side quests, new weapons, armor, a new final boss, an extra area and some other stuff I cant remember off the top of my head. If you're a fan of the original fable, its definatly worth getting. If you didnt like the original though, you wont like the lost chapters. _________________

Yeah, I'll go with that. Lost Chapters is the title to get if you haven't played either or if you love Fable. Like BG says, its the original plus more. By far the best RPG on the Xbox for me, beautiful, involving and easy to get into.
I'm glad I inspired you to go get it BG. Did you like it?

Fable is an amazingly fun game , but I'd have to say I prefer Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind G.O.T.Y. edition. Fable the Lost Chapters is one of the only games I prefer to play on PC since the graphics are way better than on the Xbox and you can have hotkeys for different actions that are used all the time. I wish my laptop could actually run the damn game cheap $400 P.O.S. PC. _________________

Mine is pretty much for halo mods (really fun with friends), and to take on camping trips and such because i have all of my old games plus my xbox all in one console. Makes it great for traveling.
No fable 2 isn't out yet.
I have fable and morrowind, i played about half way through fable. Morrowind i could never figure out what it was asking me to do, so i gave up on it.
Ive heard morrowind is bigger and has more weapons, but i like oblivion better. _________________

I used to use my Xbox 1 for gaming a lot a couple of years ago, but since getting my 360 all my Xbox mainly does is serve its purpose as my guinea pig for AID / SID, and media streaming via XBMC.
