Default Xbox 360 and Windows Vista get snugly

The 360 shown here connects up to Windows Vista. You'll also be able to use XP with the machine after downloading a few plugins.

Because you can?

Think Micro$oft is going with the Sony approach - interconnectivity between its appliances.

I was actually thinking of connecting the 360 to my dishwasher. Then I can wash my clothes while gaming. Now THAT would be useful

Hmm... so that's where you stuff all your laundry? In a dishwasher!!

Anyway, your idea ain't good enough for me, for the last thing that would come to my mind when I'm playing game, is whether or not I have clean dishes or laundry. Instead, it would be capital if the 360 could hookout to an oven, a coffee-maker and even a massage chair all at the same time.

Nevermind the strange imagery of you washing your clothes in a dishwasher, but you do know that you CAN do this already WITHOUT connecting the 360, don't you?

Fill your dishwasher with all your dirty underwear, start the dishwasher, then start up your xbox and start playing. Easy.

Only if you get the robot that folds and hangs up the clothes as well. And while it's at it, could it vacuum and do the dishes, cook the food, and take out the trash?

Okay glad you guys found that amusing. I was writing that reply after a few drinks so I most probably would have used a dishwasher for clothes.

But ofcourse it can. You just hook up your 360 to a housemaid.

I'd love to take you out for drinks, if only for a few laughs.

Intrepid Homoludens are you male or female, sorry if that comes off offensive.

I just get confused with your posts at times LOL

You have no idea how confusing it was for me when I started posting here as they played with my minds.

To this day I still believe Gilly is female, despite undeniable proof he isn't. Some people have a writing style that definitely suggest their orientation, but sexuality isn't necessarily a physical beast.
