Media Centre

POSTED BY: greenc 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi All,

I have recently setup my PS3 in the living room and my XBOX 360 in my boys room as media centres from my PC (using TVersity) I now want something for the bedroom, any ideas what I can use (wireless) - First thoughs were to get a cheap 360 just for this but is there anything else that will do the job?

Thanks

An original xbox with xbmc on works well, not sure how easy they are to make wireless though

£18 at cex: http://www.cex.co.uk/products/Gaming...boxed&mode=buy

it needs softmodding though - takes about 5 mins and then you need to upload XBMC.

It is easy to do but will not work straight out of the box
