The Xbox is also noted for having a poorly designed and implemented security system (part of where the money went on custom parts) that can be hacked in many different ways, allowing alternate uses of the console, which is basically a scaled-down PC in a black plastic case. In fact, in some instances this can be done using only a couple of modified files, and software can be installed on the system (such as specific builds of Linux, the excellent XBMC media player that is now known today as Kodi - yes, Xbox homebrew is Kodi's cradle - and the games themselves for much shorter load times). Upgrades can also be performed, such as fitting a larger hard drive to store more media. In fact, the uses devised by the fanbase far exceed those envisaged by Microsoft and have ensured an unusually long lifespan for the console. In true spoilsport form, Microsoft over-compensated for their mistakes and ensured its successors from the Xbox 360 onward were harder to turn into a home entertainment hub. The 360 was also noisier and less reliable as a result of the smaller form factor.

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we preview Lego Star Wars. Just about everyone has played with Legos at some point in their life. And a whole lot of people have taken an interest in Star Wars. Are these two building blocks going to be a good fit? Will they go together like chocolate and peanut butter? Sit down with X-Play as we take our first look at Lego Star Wars--and hack Lego Jar Jar into tiny Lego pieces.If Splinter Cell had been created in the era of the original PlayStation, the result would have probably looked just like the N-Gage version. This pocket-sized Cell is, unlike its GBA counterpart (and the previous N-Gage Splinter Cell), true 3D and actually quite a technically impressive outing for the oft-maligned cell phone system. As it turns out, Splinter Cell on the run is a fun and remarkably true take on the series.Pity the fool who's just now trying to get into dueling with Yu-Gi-Oh, for they have nothing but an uphill battle ahead of them.

Tune in tonight!
