The Xbox 360 just had it's 20th anniversary. I'm not sure how I feel about it as a console today as most of the games are available on pc with only a few exclusives. I guess most of the nostalgia will be from playing online, which I never got the chance to do.

It's really easy. I had no microsoldering skills before, but Ive soldered many other parts so I have experience. I've modded 6 Xboxes for friends and family and now I can do one in about 30 minutes including flashing the NAND.

Many people are going the bad update route where you must softmod the Xbox Everytime you turn it on. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds, sometimes you have to try 10 or 15 times to get the mod to work. The people behind bad update are working on it constantly, so who knows, they may find a way to make it boot instantly 100% of the time.

But for now hard modding and soldering are the best permanent ways to mod the Phat and Slim models of the Xbox 360.
