RE: Xbox Mods/Dashboards

["Don McAllister" <donmc@xxxxxxx>]

Good timing!

Just persuaded my son to get an xbox for his birthday :-)

Is it advisable to mod it with Xecuter2 Lite and run Mediaplayer as the
dashboard without screwing up the ease of use or standard functionality.


I don't want to spoil his birthday present.

Cheers
Don
