Don't think the PS2 will play Divx, even with modifcation. Xbox does not play them either out of the box, but will happily play them with the softmod/hardmod and Xbox Media Center installed.

Yes, install Linux on it: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Screenshots
and then get a usb adapter for mouse and keyboard usage like this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PC-TO-XBOX-USB-CONVERTER-ADAPTER-CABLE-NEW_W0QQitemZ120199939146QQihZ002QQcategoryZ20385QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Yup, if I remember correctly they are basically a PC under the hood anyway. £20 seems amazing really, I seem to remember last christmas PS2s and Xbox's were just over the £100 pound mark. Gonna check out my local GAME if I get time tommorow, let's hope I get lucky!

Finally manage to convince the local Game to scan the Xbox and they agree it's £20. I get it home to find that it will play only one of the games I own - and only intermittently! Another traipse into town as their phone is constantly engaged...

Wow that is an amazing price and with XBMC unbeatable as a media centre.

With the right cables/TV the XBOX will display high definition video and it looks really sharp.

I have used XBMC for the past 4 years and still it is the best, most versatile media centre available....

you can use a "friends" modded xbox to get the files over to the memory card rather than shelling out for action replay , i got a copy of splinter cell with mine wich is needed to mod and it was 98p :beer:

Does anyone have copies of the modding files they could let me have?

Is there a way of copying the files direct from the PC to the xbox without the need for an Action Replay? I dont have a friend with modded xbox but I could make a crossover cable if its possible this way.
