Have you ever wished that you could make minor improvements for your beloved XBOX 360 and have it perform optimally? Here are some XBOX walkthroughs on how you can make your favorite gaming console work the way you wanted it to be – Do It Yourself style!

First, did you know that you can save money by opting NOT to purchase the official XBOX 360 premium HDMI cable? If you have not bought the XBOX 360 Elite due to cash constraint, you can save $49.99 and STILL enjoy HDMI and Digital Optical features. You might have discovered that the HDMI and component AV slots are in extremely close proximity, and noticed that the component AV is encased in a thick casing. For these reasons, there is no way you can plug them both into your XBOX 360 at the same time. To counter this, you need a basic HDMI cable. Remove the plastic casing from your AV cable by carefully slitting the sides with a pen knife, and voila – $49.99 saved from the clutches of Microsoft!

It is no secret that Microsoft’s XBOX 360 is a formidable rival for Sony’s third-gen console, the PS3. This white beauty was first released to the public on November 2005 after spending over two years in Microsoft’s development womb. It features a 3.2 Ghz CPU, 20GB storage space (120GB for the latest Elite version), 3 USB 2.0 ports and even boasts of backward compatibility, enabling XBOX 360 owners to play 465 previously released XBOX games as long as they have the latest updates.

I love the XBOX 360 for the endless possibilities that lie within the communication aspects of the gaming community. With XBOX Live, a headset and Live Vision camera, one can chat without restraint, in or out of any game. Upon purchasing your first XBOX 360, Microsoft lets you have a taste of the unlimited gaming prospects with the free 1-month XBOX Live Gold subscription and you can renew your membership after it expires the following month.
