Comment: The system was modified with a nice size hard drive.

((The complaint affidavit alleges Jones and Bryant, who co-own the ACME Game Store in Los Angeles, sold Xbox game consoles, that Cai modified. The chips and hard drives apparently allowed the user to copy rented or borrowed games onto the consoles for future playback.))

((During the investigation, undercover agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement say they paid $265 to have a modification chip a hard drive and 77 pirated games installed in an Xbox. Loeser said the department priced the games found on the hard drive at more than $3,000. "You can fit about 80 video games on a 250 gigabyte hard drive," he said. "They'll run you about $50 each."))

Sorry, they’re $60 each. Sounds like a good deal to me. It looks like they messed up when they sold them at the store. But really are there really 80 games worth playing on XBOX?
