The Xbox is hooked up to the big tv via component cables at 1080i now. That’s the native resolution which is the way to go, based on a tip from Rotzen. Looks good! I also installed a rss video extension to the media center pc that also works great on the xbox media center extender.

So Alex and I can watch stuff like Control-Alt-Chicken together. We both like to cook, and since it’s a cooking show for people who can’t cook it’s perfect for cooking with kids.

For games though I have to say Alex is the one that’s really jumped in head-first. I had no idea the thing was built with such a “live” mindset, but as you can see on this post’s picture from day one Alex was totally plugged in. Here he’s going through some levels on a multi-player fantasy/action game with a friend he’s talking to on the headset plugged into the wireless controller.

I mean seriously. I walked to a friend’s house to play Atari 2600 when I was eleven.
