ok so i bought an xbox 360 and it is being shipped to me and i have some questions on modding it. now i have read some of the other threads and have gotten a lot of information off of them and some other websites. 1.) im wondering if anyone on here would be willing to mod my system when i do get it so i dont have to buy the stuff i dont have for my computer to do it. 2.) i dont have a Dual-Layered dvd burner in my computer, so i would obviously need to buy one. is there a good inexpensive one i could buy in a store that would not only burn but read DVD’s so i can rip the games? let me know…thanks ---

i dont want to use usb, theyre more expensive and probably much slow burning dvds. ill probably check my dell dimension 8400 when i go home and see if there are any SATA connections inside of it. ---
