I use Connect360 to stream my Mac media to my Xbox 360 via wifi and it works very well indeed - Can anyone recommend a Windows alternative ?
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Utterly ruined by that QTE section of course. :D
Pretty much my sentiments. When exactly are publishers going to learn that we've had enough of quick-time events and that they're universally derided?
Fixed that for you. ;)

You still can't get the newer jasper here. All old 360's. I've been phoning around. Still a refurb 360 is still cheaper than sending in the one you have broke, if you have a broke one out of warranty. :?

New 360 with HDMI output and 120GB hard drive, yay! :D

210 licenses transferred over to the new system that, while they aren't all getting re-downloaded, are still going to take forever even after trimming out that useless crap. Thank god I've got today off thanks to it being a major Monday holiday.

-edit- Oh noes!!!11 Unknown Game/Unknown Offer. Now never will I be able to revel in the joy of Yaris again!
