So my XBOX360 Core off eBay is really a SDK XNA System?!?!?!

[Cross]

Ok I bought an extra xbox360 off eBay because it was cheap. It said the system was a core and would not play games but would play dvd's and they said it had no hard drive.

So I wanted the DVD Drive for my Original System and maybe some other stuff and i would just let me two year old use this for his dvd player in his room......

So I open up the box and def see an extra piece where the HDD normally goes is a huge piece that says DVD EMU and PIX. Weird but I thought maybe it was alike a 4 gig for other purposes *shrugs*

So i turn it on and it loads what looks like a launcher like what I used to have on my original XBOX.... and it says 96gigs of free HDD space..... I select the XBOX Launcher and it goes to the normal xbox360 screen. At this point I was like very cool I got a bigger HDD and a hacked XBOX I will just use this and give my son my old one.


NO.... it refuses to play games it just says this must be put in an XBOX360.... so I put in a movie and sure enough it plays..... ok weird.

So I go back to playing around in the launcher and it says XNA and to read the SDK kit for more information... WTF so I just got an XBOX 360 SDK kit, which I found out is called the XNA kit.... I have not hooked it up to the net, i am def going to have to figure out how the hell to transfer any saved games but how do I get this thing to play games and I assume this lets you run software thats coded... and provides you the code... so anyone want to help me find the information so i can start playing with this thing? I have been googling but I am not bringing anything useful up.

If you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands.

LOL I know I just got had on another forum lol. But no this is real umm I will post pics of the system I am to lazy to switch the TV around and hook it back up as I use my TV LCD for my Compy LCD right now too while I am re-wiring everything.

If you really want it make me an offer... I have no idea what they go for I am still looking.

Yup, thats an SDK.
Seen a couple in magazines and stuff, with devs using them to play incomplete code.

Ok so I was hoping someone could let me know if I could play normal games, what I would need to connect to my PC I assume the dvd emu is for a usb cord.

Or would it be easier to sell on ebay and just buy a new HDMI 360 and keep the extra as my good fortune.

[ExcruciationX]

Whoa, it is real!

I would buy it if I had spare cash. Ebay would remove it if they saw it, though.

then how did i buy it??? Damit if I can't use this I got a paper weight... oh yaya. Atleast I did not spend a lot.... I am not a programmer though so learning how to use this is going to be interesting.

Someone passed it off as a normal one, I guess. They were trying to get rid of it for some reason...

I wonder if it plays backups. Would you buy some DVD's and burn games on them to see if it would run them?

Can you record a video of the launcher?
