Re: Xbox 360 post that mentioned in brief that the community sucks: I've never seen people more personally upset about someone else's soldering job on someone else's equipment than those dudes. Holy shit. You'd think you walked into their house and started soldering on their gaming PC or something.
Avoid the community at all costs. The documentation online is decent nowadays but if you need to actually ask someone a question, you'll have to find someone who is a normal person and also knows about the modding process. Unless you've got a huge asshole tolerance.
