Not that you guys would ever consider downloading videos illegally off the net, but if you ever were to engage in such blatant copyright violation, you might be interested to know that, should you also own an Xbox 360, watching that BitTorrent-ed screener dub of 30 Days of Night (or the third season of Battlestar, or, you know, whatever) just got a whole lot easier. Yesterday's update to the Xbox 360 Dashboard (that's "operating system," for all y'all non-nerds) allows for the playback of DivX and XviD video files from CD's, DVD's, or even your home network, straight onto your TV! Engadget has the details, and from their account, it's a fairly seamless operation, so if you got one, give it a try!
We know; two three video game posts in a day. We'll try and de-nerd things a little around here for the next couple days to get things back to normal.
