I fondly remember flashing my DVD drive on my 360 when I was 15 to play Saints Row (I had an ITCH for a GTA like game). Back then I was scared shitless of possibly bricking it. Now looking back, I laugh because of how trivial the mod was. Pretty sure this was a major contributing factor to me eventually perusing tech in my career.

Modding Xbox/Xbox 360 was for many people. I got started programming with writing CoD MW2 mods.
