XBOX Media Player 2.0

Posted by timothy on from the repurposing dept.

smashr writes "If you can't afford the new Windows XP Media Center edition, why not grab yourself a modded XBOX, and check out the XBOX Media Player 2.0. The official site has some screen shots and previews. I am sure Gates will be real upset about this one. Somehow $300 for an x-box setup is cheaper than the $2000 XP boxes."

    With this new plan to buy Microsoft hardware in order to undercut some of their software sales, we have finally found out the perfect way to stick it to Billy G!

    I was thinking about buying hardware from, you know, non-Microsoft companies, but this idea is much better...
