  • Having trouble connecting to games on Xbox Live through a router?

    If you are having trouble connecting to games through a router, and you don't have issues when you go directly to the cable modem, you can set your Xbox as the DMZ host. Background Basically, your cable connection gives you a single IP address that the rest of the world can talk to. When you connect...

  • Streaming (HD) video to the XBox 360 - but only if you have MCE

    Kevin is streaming HD video from his XP Media Center Edition to his XBox 360 ( via James ) It's a little disappointing that the 360 can't stream video with Windows Media Connec (it does great with music and photos, but not video). My Streamium SL400i does the video thing very well, and it's...

  • Play me on Xbox 360

    If you're one of the lucky ones who already scored their 360, come play me on Xbox Live. ( My gamertag is corpcow ). My RitzCamera pre-order fell through, but I managed to score 2 over-priced bundles through Amazon and Dell. Unfortunately, my impatience led me to open the Core bundle from Amazon...

  • Have you preordered XBOX360?

    Well, I finally got around to pre-ordering the XBOX 360. (No, I didn't get the $4,000 bundle . In fact, I couldn't find any bundles in stock that had Madden, and since that's the only game I'm really interested in, well, I bought a standalone version). Joystiq posted links to a series of gameplay screenshots...

  • The XBox as Entertainment Hub

  • Seeking recommendations for a 802.11g router

    I've been considering picking up a new 802.11g router (I have an older Linksys 802.11b router right now), since my new Toshiba has a b/g card. My approach in the past has always been just to buy whatever is on sale that week - I've never noticed a discernable difference between the various routers. However...

  • Update on XBox Live disconnects

    A quick update on the XBox Live disconnect problems I was having last week. As it turns out, the problem was with my router - specifically, the firmware version on my router. I thought at first I might need to buy a new router, as I wasn't sure if it was supported. There's some conflicting information...

  • XBox Live disconnects with a Linksys router? [Answer: Downgrade the firmware]

    I had some disconnect problems when connecting to XBox Live through through my Linksys wireless router (BEFSW11S4). It would be fine for awhile but eventually I would just get booted. (e.g., in a game of Madden, I usually didn't make it to the second half). For those of you with similar issues, see the...

  • Monthly Game Rentals...

    NetFlix has always seemed like a really cool model, but I just don't watch enough movies to make it worth my while. Recently there have been a few similar sites that opened up offering the same service for video games (ie Gamefly ). Again, I have a few games for my XBox and barely have enough time to...

  • Madden Goes Mobile

    Via Joystiq : According to reports, Mobile Digital Media is set to port Madden over to the Palm OS and the Pocket PC. The version would be based on the current 2005 make, a definite plus, and would feature full 3D graphics and sound effects, along with the NFL licenses. I think this would be a lot cooler...
