I want to create a media center using my xbox. I have decent computer skills and knowledge, but have done no programming. I have messed around setting up my dell inspiron 8000 for the media center, but the video card is just too slow. I have an xbox which I believe would be much faster (right?). My question is, can I soft mod the xbox and install xbmc and still play games on the xbox? If I can do this, can someone point me in the directions with detailed info on soft modding?
