Excellent.

Thanks to the link by Exiled to Canada, I was able to find another link here, and set up the theoretical xbox to my laptop.

Its kinda funny, because I just happened to buy a crossover cable like 6 years ago for some reason, and kept it in my little bag o’ junk for all this time, where it survived 4 or so throwaway purges because I figured ONE DAY, it might come in handy.

That day is today.

So, I have a sufficiently geeky hack around spending all that stupid money to M$, and didn’t have to set my router on fire to do it. Hells yes.

Actually, the laptop is a Media Center edition and (ahem) an actual legitimate copy, so I started the process to move all my music and crap to the thing. Problem is, the music and crap will swamp the hard drive on both the lappy and the xbox, so I need to figure out a sufficiently hacky way to watch my episode of Heroes that I’m downloading through the xbox on the bitchin HDMI connection.

I mean the theoretical xbox. Or whatever.

Woot.
