Video: XBMC Running on XBox 360 / Ubuntu by Team Cygnos

I'm not overly familiar with MS media center but in terms of format compatibility XBMC is like the VLC of htpc software. There's nothing you can't throw at it that it can't play. If you're just doing divx, then the ps3 is fine, but if you've ripped your DVD collection to a samba share, you can navigate into it click on the .ifo and the iso plays. Even .rm files are usually ok. The plugins are also helpful. That being said I think boxee will take the torch from here with it's wicked hulu support.

Would you really want to go through all of that every single time?

I don't really understand why everybody praises XBMC. Isn't it just a nicer Microsoft Media Center?

This is awesome!! I don't have a 360, but this could give you a HiDef XBMC box for $120 used / $150 new!! Doing the quick math, I'm pretty sure you couldn't build a budget AMD box even for that price?

I Agree and cant wait

I dont care if i have to chip it to Get XBMC

If you look there is what looks to be a drive up there its the camera angle thats tricking you. I have XBMC on all 3 of my org xbox and I cant wait till I can use XBMC on the 360.
