Corrections for the review of XboxMediaCenter

Hi love the review but I have some corrections for it, (hope I don't come out all defensive):
http://www.tomshardware.com/consum [...] index.html

correction needed on page 01 section "The Xbox Mod" as sentence "Boosting the Xbox' performance and harnessing its potential largely hinges on a modded processor" does not fit in on that section at all, if you are referring to a modchip then it should not mention 'performance' as a modchip has nothing do with performance and also "modded processor" in the same sentence refers to FriendTech's DreamX but putting here sound like it's the modchip, so think you should move that sentence to the FriendTech section on page 02, or alternatively change the whole sentence to something to "Unleashing the power of the Xbox and harnessing its potential largely depends on applying a modchip" ;-)

Under the picture of the remote control you say "is a must for using the Xbox as a media center" which is not true, it's not a requirement as you can fully use XBMC with a gamepad, however we recommend a remote control for ease of use

btw, the DreamX are all already pre-modded so no need to open them up, (on a side-note to page 04 new large 7.200rpm harddrives actually run cooler than Xbox default 8GB drives =P )

Personally would have suggested that under "Codecs: Divx, Xvid, WMA And QuickTime" add link to full official compatibility list: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/info_project.htm

On page 08 you say "Practically all settings on the XBMC are made via an xml file", that is not true, most used settings are done from GUI under "Settings", basically only the 'network' and 'shares' settings is in the XBMC and those many end-users don't even have to touch, not if not stream from network anyway.

Reason for the WebServer right now is for remote control and then not from noteboot/laptop editor but ideally from a WiFi connected PDA (there are different skins available that fit PDA's better), in the future full setting/configuration will be added to the WebServer to so there will won't be a need to edit the XML file in a text editor.

Also, you totaly forgot to mention that one can of course use XBMC on a normal retail Xbox (once modded), it's just that one do get the impression from the beginning of this this specific review that it only works on DreamX boxes =(

Finally motion compensation optimizations for better HDTV playback will prorbebely be added to XBMC v1.1 ;-)

again hope I didn't come out to defensive, if so I apologise =)

@Non-Xbox-owners, a Windows PC port of XBMC is already available ;-D http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net

PS! I also sent above in a mail to Patrick Schmid and Achim Roos but I guess they haven't read it yet(?)
