    got me thinking about xmbc on xbox360..

    i use xbox to stream downloaded content on my computer but if it was possible to stream hulu and iplayer id think about the xmbc... im just wondering how difficult it is.. for a technical amateur.. also does xmbc play .mkv?

    Is this meant to be a joke post? The video you linked to is a music video!

    XBMC is only available for XBOX, PC, Linux & AppleTV.
    360 can't run any homebrew code due to hypervisor controls.

    Ehh, that guide is for the original XBOX not 360.
    I'll say it again. XBMC is not available and there are no plans for it EVER to be released for 360 as it not possible.
    Hulu and iPlayer won't work (reliably) in Ireland as they only work with US, UK IP adresses.
