xboxspace.com— A comparison of the Xbox Media Center against the Xbox 360's Media Center functionality. XBMC is way better.

That was a painful read, but so very true. I haven't tried playing H.264 coded videos with XBMC, but I hear it doesn't handle them too well due to hardware limitations. XBMC is just awesome. It just keeps getting better and better. It's scary to think of what XBMC will be on the Xbox 360 "when" it gets hacked.
Not actually true I have 2 XBMC with the componet HD adapter a got for 3 bucks at the local gamestop.. Can stream 720p and 1080i depending on the file format..
"Umm, why would you buy an xBox specifically for the media center?"Umm, because they cost next to nothing second hand now and don't look like crap under your TV and you can get an IR remote.

Xbox hdd is 13 gigs out of the box? I thought it was marketed as approx 20gigs.

I agree, XBMC is a very nice utility that rivals (and beats) XP MCE 2005's functionality.

I haven't modded mine. If I played more actual Xbox games, id definatly have a hard drive filled with them, but, there is not really that many good games. So all the other features that the XBMC offers I just use my computer for.If you want to learn how, go here <a class="user" href="http://xbox-scene.com/xbox-tutorials.php">http://xbox-scene.com/xbox-tutorials.php</a>
