Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC?

Anonymous writes "Can a modded Xbox running homebrew software really beat all existing designed-for-the-living-room multimedia devices hands down?! Tom's Hardware Guide seems to think so. They reviewed Xbox Media Center (XBMC) and say the free open source software turn an Xbox into The Ultimate Multimedia Center, the ideal home playback system for audio and video. (Apparently there is a PC software version available too: Media Portal)" The article also explains some of the more convoluted issues surrounding XBMC. But I definitely agree that this is a great system.

Xbox doesn't have GTA:VC

You must have missed the Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack. GTA 3 and GTA: Vice City for the Xbox for the price of just GTA: Vice City. They had to wait awhile to get it, but they have it.
