Xbox 360 love

Well, unfortunately my Xbox 360 got the ring of death a couple of weeks ago while watching a DVD.  The sorta good news is: 1) this is only the first time it happened and 2) it’s still under warranty.  When I get to Spokane I will file the repair request – or however that works.  I’m glad I didn’t purchase Xbox Live this year because I wouldn’t have been using it much while it’s been out of commission.

But that brings me to Ben Heckendorn.  If you are a frequent reader of Engadget you are probably familiar with who he is, but for those who are not he likes to hack up consoles (both new and old).  He just recently finished his fifth version of his Xbox 360 Laptop which I think is way cool.  So go over to his blog and check out this way cool project.
