where are the controller ports on the 360? Are they the 2 slots on the front(they look like memory card ports). If I get one without a hard drive can I put my own in or does it have to be a special one? Sorry if you dont know the answers, please dont flame me :lol: .
The Xbox360 doesn't have controller ports... It has 2 USB 2.0 ports behind a door on the bottom of the console (or right hand side if it's sitting horizontally). This will be used for the Wired controllers as well to connect other devices such as iPods or PSPs. The console also supports wireless controller (unlike current gen consoles the receivers don't need a port to plug into, they connect directly with the console)
You cannot use any hard drive (this excludes what we might be able to do once the console is hacked) you will be required to use an official MS Xbox360 hard drive.
I would recommend getting the $400USD package as even if you get the $300USD package you will still need to buy a $40 memory card to save your games.

I think 2 USB ports isnt enough....
If it isn't enough, just add a USB Hub and you have more ports.

a) Like the other systems it most likely will have bugs that need to be worked out
B) Like the first versions of Xbox it had more fans, maybe the 360 will have more fans(louder)
c) It will be cheaper after a couple of years, I dont get much money.

Also the first version of most consoles is usually the best to mod...
The V1.0 Xbox has a 1MB tsop that can be split and switched between two bioses... no other version has that... the V1.0 also has much more shielding and noise cleansing devices than other versions.
The V1.6 is the biggest pain in th ass to mod... you can't use the pin header straight up, heck you can't even flash the TSOP, you only have 1 bios option for the modchips and lots of them have problems with the 1.6.
The First Gamecube Version has the best compatibility with modchips... the 2nd version has compatibility problems, and the third version doesn't have a Digital A/V port... again the first version was better.
The Dreamcast didn't need a modchip to run backups and homebrew but the later versions had protection against it... also past the first version they replaced the fuse in the controller port assembly that caused the ports to short out if you tried to use it with certain 3rd party controllers
The first Saturn version had a modchip built for it... the second version was never cracked... also the first version was much easier to do the swap trick.
The early PS1s had a serial port and you could easily use an external modchip that was removed in later versions, also the ability to do the swap trick with the PS1 was removed in later versions.
