New Xbox 360 shows up in the wild, gets unboxed, torn asunder and modded

Hey, look at what we have here -- it's the new Xbox 360 that was just debuted a few days back -- and there's a lot going down with this one which has somehow made its way into the wild. We get the full unboxing treatment, a detailed teardown, and finish up with some delicious, light-paneled modding. While we can't really gather much beyond what we already know, the drive appears to be a Philips Lite-On DG-16D4S -- just in case you were wondering about that one. There's a video below showing off this one's new, modded exterior.

[Thanks, Thomas C]

I agree, this was way too early for any mainstream modder.

Looks very cool. Just remember not to hit it or move it with your elbow just like the guy did TUESDAY it will SCRATCH UP YOUR DISC.

Mods have become uber boring. Why not try something different instead of just cutting a hole in it and calling it a day. Console modders need to look at PC modders.

What a brave soul! I wouldn't risk modding my Xbox due to the high chance of it getting the RROD. One of my friends had 7 RROD and microsoft was nice and repaired it every time. Another one of my friend had it done 5 times. I got the new FFXIII edition which prob won't have problems. But if it does, warranty. Unfortunately modders don't get a warranty even for a case mod.

I remember modding my DC with LED's, new paint job, and stuff. I still consider it one of the best systems of all time.

Some of you guys need to realize this is a modded xbox and is not the actual design.

didn't they give away free ones to everyone was at e3? I think a modder has had enough time to mod it and if not, maybe an early tester that now can show it off to the public since it was announced. I think it adds to the not so newly innovative design

modding for consoles or cases just strikes me as a huge waste of time. It's not even a device where physical modding can directly improve your enjoyment of or playability of a game. It's more akin to a guy who'd rather work on his car's engine than actually drive it.
