    Retro Mod : Xbox 360 and Atari 2600

    Check out this Headline to see how a guy has modded his Xbox 360 into an Atari 2600 shell.

    Love to have a go at modding but I'm sure I'd just break the console

    Oh yuk!

    The design of the 2600 hqasn't really stood the test of time; that wood veneer effect! Horrible! I think the only reason anyone would do is this is 'because you can', surely not for aesthetic reasons!

    Besides, you have to have the DVD drive external to the case which is stoopid and kinda defeats the point. IMO.

    googled all over her facebook. Ask Jeeves...

    The result is a bit iffy, if novel...

    Still, nice to get a look at the 360's innards... I like that heatsink!
