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."

    Come on, buy a Gamecube. Make it run linux. Or buy the PS2 and their Linux kit and port something to it! Forget Microsoft's XBOX and let it fade away into obscurity like the 3GO, the NEC Turbographx, the NeoGeo and all the other failed (marketing wise) game systems.


    The Xbox is here to stay. Xbox live is pushing 200k units sold before christmas, xbox sales are increasing 20% EVERY WEEK and game attach rate is BEYOND THAT EVER EXPERIENCE WITHIN ANY CONSOLE!

    Prices are falling, games are coming out and the xbox live has opened up alot of people into the future of gaming.

    No obscurity for the xbox man. I'm sorry, but the Sony bandwagon finally has some stuff competition and i think you ps2 fanboys are shaking in your boots and coming up with this FUD as quoted above.

    Hey, i even owned a ps2.. but that was so yesterday :) welcome to the future! And right now that is the Xbox all the way.
