How to make your Xbox 360 and your Mac play nice

What? No transcoding? Not cool.

AirIntake: My kingdom for a transcoding Mac OS solution!!!!

Connect360 is great! So much simpler than trying to connect my 360 through XP (I hate the Zune software). OSX FTW!!!

I've used Connect360, it worked great. I removed it though, because it had an ugly icon. LOL!

The best guid I have ever read said simply, Dont buy Mac products. Then you dont have to worry about games and other stuff being incompatible

Way to be an uninformed idiot, Mike!

File sharing between your 360 and your Mac is actually easier than doing so between a non-media center PC and the 360. The only hitch? $20.

If you're gonna bitch about that- enjoy the $300 you've got to spend on Vista and the asinine hardware upgrade it'll require to take advantage of functionalities and performance a Mac with OSX has out of the box. And OSX is old, my friend... very old.

If you actually read the linked article it explains how you can get the EXACT same functionality out of your mac as you can your pc. Features including 360 peripheral support like wireless controllers and seamless Vision camera support with iChat. You can text chat with people on your friends list from your computer without the need for an internet browser.

But I guess to find all that out would require reading the article you're commenting on, wouldn't it?

As a mac user who made the leap from PC this last Christmas (best Christmas ever!), I can honestly say that I prefer my mac connectivity to that of the PCs. Almost of the programs out there are easy to find and free. The only catch is connect360, which like I said costs $20, but allows me to stream HD movies, music, and pictures effortlessly.

A good collection of resources, but any mac owner with a 360 can find this stuff on their own with a simple Google search. In short- there's nothing you can do with your PC that I can't do with my mac, and it's just as easy.

Nice troll, though!

Apple? I eat those for lunch. I'm not a trendy, star bucks drinking, abercrombie & fitch wearing bitch, so I don't play with Apples. Funny how these Macs always talk about running XP/Vista.

Smoke Dawg, you forgot Volkswagen-driving.

Stranger, talk about a Mac fanboy. $300? Maybe for people tool enough to buy retail - why don't you take a look at newegg.com and tell me what you see as far as Vista pricing. Home Premium gives you Media Center, too, which you implied is the best solution. And you think a "Mac with OSX out of the box" is CHEAP? How about that premium you pay just to have an Apple logo on the hardware? No thanks, buddy.

Can we please have a 3rd OS?

I will bitchslap the first person to mention Linux. Linux is a kernel, not a cetralized OS.

@Stranger: Trolling, huh? How about responding to a completely empty statement 20 fold?
