I just came back from a friend's in Houston running an X-Box, and let me just say wow! Very nice. "Why the hell are you saying that Dustin!" you ask? Because this was a hacked X-Box that was running every emulator from MAME to emulators for the Atari 2800 and Playstation. Anyone remember Ghost n' Goblins? There were *at least* 300 old games on that machine. The guy also had a wireless hub connected to the X-Box so that it was wired into his home network. He said he could play MP3's off his main computer on his X-Box, which was plugged into his entertainment system.
