Good too see the guys over at Xbox Media Center adapting and changing with the times... I was quite suprised to see they have made a Xbox 360 Skin for XMC that looks pretty much, well Ridgy Didge!!

I noticed the Xlink Blade there and smiled quietly to myself..... I think everyone who has a modded Xbox should check this out...Might be just the thing to tide you over till you get a Xbox 360....

What do you guys think..?

Just looking at that makes my eyes bleed...Man thats some hellish eyecandy....Hard to believe this has been able to be done so professionally...

The Video was a really great way to see the skin in action...10/10 from me.. Best Skin/Dashboard Ive ever seen....

There are comments on what the skin will be able to do in the xbox-scene forums....Id love my own Xtag to use on XBMC Kai..that would rule..!!

After reading the Xlink One development blog, I got the impression that many of new features will not be tightly integrated into XBMC because of the new web interface.

But after seeing the new XBMC 360 skin, will this change? Meaning, will there be even more Xlink integration into XBMC?

We'll find a way to get XBMC to work with the xlink one. It might require an updated version of XBMC, but it's definitely not something we're going to get rid of.

Good to hear, a tighter integration between XBMC and XLink One has huge potential. Especially with this new skin, but I don't need to tell you that.

this is hot!

is that a 360 skin for the old xbox, or is that a modded 360?

sick

but i guess its not gonna look as crisp as it does on 360... still, its awsome to see this new development.

Actually, from what I read. It's gonna look just as good. This team has been working on it for A LONG TIME. The team leader said he's trying to duplicate the 360 pixel by pixel and so far(from the videos) it looks like he's being really successful.
