Xbox 360 newb

Postby [SoC]GHOST » Mon Mar 22, 2010 5:31 pm

Ok so I broke the pc gamer code and bought an xbox 360. Before you jump down my throat about how much of a sellout I am, I had good reason for it. I have long since wanted to network and integrate my tv, gaming, music, and movies into a single solution. I believe the xbox is that answer. It allows me to use it as a media extender for Windows Media Center. I have to say this is pretty darn cool. Now I don't use media center to watch TV, but I love having the ability to get to all my music, pictures, and other related content on my pc. Idealy I would want to put all my dvds on pc, however this is a big task that will require probably terabytes of space. Its however, on my list of to-do's. Also, it gives me a completely different avenue for gaming now as well. I suck ass with a controler, but I here it just takes some getting used to. Hell next I may even try a real mouse for the pc! Logitech marble mouse RULZ!! So anyway, do any of you have Microft Live gamer id's. I can add you to my friends. Mine is SoCGHOST.

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” —William J.

I just got a Patriot Valkyrie NAS that I reviewed and plan on dumping all my photos and movies onto it so that it can be accessed from any PC on my network. On top of that I can set up FTP and access the files anywhere ;)
