Hello everyone.
I am planning to sell my original xbox that comes with a 750gb hard drive. And with the money I am planning to purchase an apple tv. A few questions;
1) Can apple tv run xbmc? If so is it as good as xbmc on the xbox?
2) What do i need to run xbmc on atv?
3) Is the hard drive upgradeable? If so what type of hard drive does it take?
4) Can it play hd content?
5) How would I transfer files over?
6) Is it worth selling the xbox and getting the aTV?
Any advice/help would be great

Well, I've never had an Apple TV, but this may help:

1. No, Xbmc is an Xbox program? Xbox=Microsoft Apple isn't Microsoft
2. See 1
3. I don't think it is
4. Most likely
5. Maybe Firewire, or USB?
6. I would have to say NO

just download the sftware from xbmc's site
3) Is the hard drive upgradeable? If so what type of hard drive does it take?
idk about this one
4) Can it play hd content?
if i remember right it does
5) How would I transfer files over?
I figure it would be a streaming type process
6) Is it worth selling the xbox and getting the aTV?
if xbmc is all you use on your xbox, i dont see why not. I have xbmc installed on my pc and love it.

the hard drive is kinda  upgradeable but youll go against warranty. It uses a SATA chipset.
