And I was wrong about the LCD thing, it only has support for it. It'll be something extra you can buy later on to just plug into it. But that's not the reason I was wanting one. Or ever solderless, really, but it would be nice.</p> <p>I don't really know much about streaming videos and stuff yet, but some other people I know on IRC have plenty of good things to say.</p> At least on modchip.ca, it’s $59 USD or $89 CAD (I think - that’s from memory) for a preorder.

I don’t really know much about streaming videos and stuff yet, but some other people I know on IRC have plenty of good things to say.

For playing DivX and the like, I'd either stream it over the network or from DVDR. but for emulation, it would probably be handier to have it right on the Xbox itself. And with all of the ROMs I have, that would take up a lot of space. Especially MAME (I assume there is a MAME port for it) :)</p> <p>I heard it can do PSX emulation too. That's rather nifty, if it does. Since I have a pile of broken Playstations here, and a working one that has problems with some games.</p> It comes with what, an 8gb drive?

In my case I’d also definately go for the advanced connector thingy for s-video/digital (then it could just hook into my switcher thing that then connects to the projector/surround reciever).

So tempting, so tempting.
