If you're just running an ethernetcable between your PC and Xbox no you wont't have net access. You need to plug both devices into your router or a switch for that. I'm not sure I understand your second question. Do you mean will you still have access to the Hard drive on the computer on on the Xbox?

Not that I'm aware of. We're making use of the remote play feature between the PS3 and PSP and as far as I know there's no Remote Play client for Windows Mac or Linux.

What format are the videos in? Ushare is a little picky regarding the format and the extension of the filename. It doesn't do on the fly transcoding.

Hi Chris

No Just on hiatus. I've had a lot going on the past while that's demanded my attention but rest assured there will be more in this series. Hopefully soon.

Cheers

I don't know about that. I have 2 360's and neither has had any problems scratching disks. I've never had to replace a single console game I've owned going all the way back to the Intellivision (a 1979 vintage) one of my 360's did RRoD (the one I got at launch) but was fixed for free where did the $100 come from. A quick look around the web will show that PC DVD drive actually have a fairly high DVD Drive failure rate as well. Not to mention that 25% of PC's require a major component to be replaced in the first year (eg, Hard Drive, Monitor, RAM, Processor, Motherboard, Graphics card). Most of the 360 DVD failures are related to people running the 360 standing up which should never have been marketed as a "installation option" but that's a marketing/aesthetic issue not a technical one. Saying that Playstation 3 games are crap is a highly opinionated argument and one people often fall back on when they can't find Something else to argue. Batman Arkham Asylum is awesome on the PS3, Uncharted 2 is awesome, Metal Gear Solid 4 was awesome, Little Big Planet NEVER stops being fun, Wipeout HD is incredible, Echochrome Pixeljunk Eden and FlOw are all great downloadable titles. And you're right the Cell Processor is hard to learn to program for but it's also a lot more powerful and they don't expect programmers to even take full advantage of it for several years yet which means better looking games to come. What you're forgetting is that for all intents and purposes the 360 and the PS3 ARE computers and they have the advantage of only having to do 1 thing well. No task managers windowing system nothing but what is essential to run games. There is simply less overhead. I really struggle to see any real tangible difference between most console games and their PC counterparts. Now ya if you're the type of person that pauses the game and grabs a picture of the same frame off the other platform and compares them side by side you're probably going to notice a difference. This would never hold up in a double blind test though.

It looks like geekbox disabled their Ubuntu repository. But it looks like Ubuntu has added it to their Universe repository. Make sure it's enabled by following the instructions on the Ubuntu Guide <a href="http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Add_Ext..." target="_blank">http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Add_Ext... Then you can continue on skipping the
"sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

We want to add the following lines to the end of this file

##GeeXboX package repository
deb <a href="http://www.geexbox.org/debian/" target="_blank">http://www.geexbox.org/debian/ unstable main"

and continue on with "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ushare"

I hope this fixes everything for you.

If you didn't change it it's the same password you used to ssh into the phone originally (ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) by default it would have been 'alpine'

So why are you even reading this post if you think that. As someone who has all 3 current gen consoles I still feel it has the best online experience
