Well, I did actually buy a second-hand Xbox just before coming back here (mostly because they've just gone down in price due to the 360, and they'd released sequels to both my favourite games - Halo and MechAssault - since I last owned one). Hadn't gotten around to posting about it, despite having figured out the point of the break in Burnout (not for slowing down, but for doing crazy skids around 90 degree corners when going at 160mph).

I'd make it into a media centre, but the DVD drive sucks ass. Somehow they tweaked it so it doesn't accept most burned CDRs, and I'd like to be able to play all the media on those (without doing some crazy USB adaptor+external drive hack). So, having given up on ever getting the blasted Mac Mini to do TV Out or wireless properly under Linux, I'm planning on selling it off and buying the Mini-itx box I wanted all that time ago...
