I hate to just chip in, but I too have a chipped box (xecutor 2.1) which I
got purely so I could play original xbox games, and also my mp3's in my
living room (all legally ripped from originals so I can have them on my
creative jukebox, although that'll be illegal too if the cactus etc. CD
protection brigade have their way) and I don't own a single pirated game,
much as my friends berate my stupidly altruistic attitude, and think I
should just download them on the ol' emule.

I know it's still an abuse of M$ loss leader to use their box to play my
mp3's, and not some M$ friendly wma's, but I can certainly live with my
conscience on that point ;-)
