Apparently That Xbox 360 Red Light of Doom Problem Hasn’t Been Fixed
,----[ Quotre ]
| The image you see above isn’t some generic image we grabbed off the net -
| it’s my personal Xbox 360. I know what you might be thinking - another one?
| Yeah, another one - but there is a bit more to this story. This Xbox 360 you
| see above has been used for all of 20 minutes. You see, about three weeks ago
| my old box 360 crashed and was giving me the three Red Lights of Doom. I sent
| it in for repair, and today I finally got a replacement. This actually is a
| replacement - they didn’t fix the one I sent in, they just sent me a new one.
| This one happened to have been manufactured on 8/15/2007.

XBMC Media Center: Linux port project
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently, a few developers on Team-XBMC have begun the porting of XBMC to
| Linux (and OpenGL using the SDL toolkit). The goal is for this to become a
| full port of XBMC with all the features and functions that are available on
| the Xbox version of XBMC (with the exception of Xbox exclusive functionality
| as Trainers, launching Xbox Games, and such).
