In terms of Xbox modding, this pwns all else.
Modding is a hobby practiced by all those dedicated enthusiasts out there, but it's perfected by disappointingly few. Probably due to its difficulty, it's been left to those with the skill and passion (not to mention patience), with a drop of creativity thrown in for good measure.
