Microsoft Xbox 360

Maybe I should elaborate a bit more; I set up the Media Center so I could stream music from my PC through my Xbox, but when I quit out of the Media Center the music ceases to play. Is there anyway to keep streaming the music from my pc while playing a game?
 
Just use the basic windows media player

Go to Options and Library, click configure sharing when your 360 is on and then click the allow button, then click settings and name it (share media as). After that go to monitor folders and choose the folders you want the 360 to be able to see.

Let it all update after that, it may take a while if you have alot of files

Then when you go on the 360 and choose music/video/pictures your PC (which you named earlier) will be selectable and once you select it all your files will be visible and playable

easy really
 
i have tried the Mad Catz one and it was alright

didn't have force feedback though which is pretty shitty
 
A wire to connect the pedals to the wheel itself AND if you want decent force feedback you will need a wire to connect it to the nearest electrical socket. I found just using a 360 Controller Battery in the side of it didnt cut it.

Be prepared for racing games to become more fun because your using a wheel but also expect some of them to be a lot harder! I find PGR4 at times uncontrollable with the wheel.
 
I have played loads of games with a wheel

Flatout was awesome
PGR4 was ok
NFSU was shocking
Midnight Club was as well
Test Drive U was very good
Forza was OK
Colin Mcrae was shocking

All its down to the sensitivity and some are way way off and you cant even change it
 
I have been using this for ages and forgot to post it

Its got everything that xbox.com has but its a standalone program like MSN that lets you know if you have messages (which you can read/reply by clicking it), who's online and if they are joinable ect in real time with popups instead of refreshing xbox.com or switching on your 360

Great find Coopz, installed it but it began signing it by itself without me putting anything when I opened it and it's taking ages.

Try and download the previous version

i had no issues with that, i think a new one came out today so it may have bugs
 
Keeps telling me im not signed into Xbox.com when I actually am :(

Oh yeah you have to choose the top radio button when you sign into xbox.com so its remembers all your stuff

something like "remember email and password" and you need to do it through explorer
 
did you do what i said above?

You cant just choose remember email you have to choose both and it has to be in IE
 
It works for me, and its very good, thanks Coopz :).

One thing that may be very useful is the ability to type longer messages quickly through the PC instead of the 360, because it takes ages with the controller.
