With a new modchip the boxx really flies, just thought i ought to tell you. It fetches info from IMDB, giving info for the movies. You can stream data to it via a VPN tunnel. ANd you can have a badass HDD.
Any details? I would like to mod mine...

Not to terribly bad, you have to solder about 20pins (high number, can't remberer) to the motherboard and one wire to another point. Thats all there really is to it.

If memory serves, 15 wires.
After the mod you install a custom bios, with this and the correct software it can do just about anything. Som things it can do:
Play DivX movies
Play DVDs (any region)
Play DVD-images
Use 300 gig harddrives
Play MP3s - using winamp playlists
Fetch weather from weather.com (yes, it works in europe)
Stream content to it
Host files with it
Transfer files via FTP
Play Halo 2 right now :D
Play emulated games, up to and including PS2 games
