Xbox Media Center and Xlink ROCK
I've been using Xlink for the past couple days and I gotta say....it being coupled w/ Xbox Media Center > * x 1000
Xbox Media Center is sooooooo badass...don't know why I didn't mess around with it sooner.
All these features on my xbox on my big screen w/o me having to even touch the computer now...(screenshots taken by me):
Main Menu (notice the RSS feed on bottom):
Watch the latest movie trailers straight to my tv from my xbox:
Watch the latest video game trailers straight to my tv from xbox:
Access all my music from my computer via SMB share through my xbox and to my tv (not much there
):
Access my videos/movies from my computer via SMB share to my TV (plays videos and music great!):
Listen to streamed radio stations:
Check the weather...haha:
Access/Play all my games:
Play online w/o having to even touch my computer straight through my xbox:

I just got a media center PC. I have had an XBox for a long time. Looks cool!! Can you give me a little more info as to what exactly you did or how you hook up the Xbox to the PC?

xbmc is not connected to your PC, its on the xbox it self. the only time u would connect to a PC if if you wanted to pull files from a share (divx, mp3, jpegs....)

From the xbmc FAQ 
Q: Can I use/run Xbox Media Center on a retail Xbox without a modchip installed in it?
A: Yes, there are some pre-coded hacks (software mods) to run XBMC unchipped, but we do not support how-to use them, (recommend you visit www.xbox-scene.com for HOW-TO mod). PS! It is very unlikely that XBMC will ever run on unhacked Xboxes, (we have once contacted Microsoft about the possibility to sign XBMC but we were regretfully rejected) Note! We do not support HOW-TO install/use a software mod or HOW-TO install/use Xbox hardware mod-chips.

Also, with this, can you browse specific MP3 folders on your PC like a media hub does? I have 30+ gigs of MP3s and need to find a way to network them into the stereo, but don't want to pay 200+ for a media hub. Using my already networked xbox would be perfect!

Anyway, not to sound lame but with the new xbox live! banning taking place against modded xbox's, I don't think it's wise to mod your xbox if you considered playing on Live!
And yes, you will still get banned even if you have the flip off switch in your modded xbox. Also, please stop comparing these inferior shit xlink/xbc packet forwarding bullshit to xbox live. It doesn't compare and I'm glad to pay the $49/year rather than use these free services. Don't start with the xbc bullshit because you know it sucks major dick.
