ya... I always get those CD-size (~700MB) DVDRIP movie, and watch it on my Panasonic 21" flatscreen TV, either by burning it into CDR, or sharing it on my pc, then use XBMC to access the shared drive. It rocks man. The brightness of TV is simply unmatched by monitor.

Make that DIVX with full Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS. thumbup.gif

I ripped my DVDs to DIVX with DD51 or DTS. Very soon i'll have all my movies at my fingertips...no more swapping DVDs and searching for that movie!!! Now, all i need is MORE HDD space.. sweat.gif

btw, I say buy an XBOX now. You will not find it anymore very soon already. PS2 will still be around for another 2 years or so.

i heard new xbox price in US have gone up, maybe because they want to force consumer to buy xb360. when our local market get the new xbox with higher price, sure they will also increase the price.

so better get now before the price went up. biggrin.gif

I think it's more of like out of stock because most probably microsoft has stop xbox production, even it's still on...probably they only allocate 1% of human resource into xbox production laugh.gif

If i recalled correctly one of the reason is because that newer batch comes prebundled with Forza Motorsport. Some online retailer quotes for USD 176.00

for web surfing?? No. Just get an old P3 to do the job. If you want to use it as a media center, yes, but surfing is best done on a PC with proper software(browsers+plugins) and hi-res monitor.

i also install 60GB HDD at my XBOX load the game that i always play to my HDD soo can shorten the loading time n save the life span for the lens ... heheh emm if got $$$$ i will get a 5.1 speaker for my XBOX bcoz it got Dobly Prologic only the game wif that feature only can support for DVD emmm good man nice sound

hehe is depends on u wut type of game u like if u like RPG than go for PS2

if u like computer game but fed up keep upgrade graphics card than go for XBOX sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

if got money buy both

yeahh XBMC is very cool like everything in one console full entertainment thumbup.gif but now i having problem to configure folder sharing from my PC hehehe and my fren say iam crazy using CAT 6 cable for xbox hahah rclxm9.gif aiyaa company one mah got spare.

normal when buying the console XBMC they wont install for u ... they only install the EvoX than just get a cross cable (Lan Cable) plug to XBOX to ur PC than just FTP all the XBMC file to E:\APP\XMBC restart ur XBOX ur XBMC is ready to used
