I also love my Xbox with XBMC. The front-end for it is just so polished now, (it looks much better than that for any DVD player/ video streamer I've seen...). I was going to bung my Xbox on eBay when I got the 360, but I'm really pleased I decided to dedicate it to AV use instead. To be honest, I'm not sure what the WAF problems would be with it. My Xbox sits in a normal HiFi rack with the IR receiver dongle (no trailing lead so very unobtrusive) in one of the controller ports, and no game controllers are connected. It doesn't look too much different to a hifi component! I have it set to boot directly into XBMC, so you just turn it on and you're presented with that fantastic looking menu. I just have one remote (Pronto) that controls it as well as my TV, Amp, TiVo, DVD player, Squeezebox and lights (via X10). This level of convenience scores very highly on the WAF (GAF) scale. The only small niggle is that there is no easy way to turn an Xbox on via the remote, and I haven't yet trained either of our dogs to push the power button with their noses....... -- SadGamerGeek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SadGamerGeek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30637 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
