Attention: XB Stream fix released
We heartily recommended the new XB Stream software last week, but apparently it had a serious drawback. Godfree from Gamertag Radio let us know that XB Stream was killing the bandwidth on major podcast sites by downloading the most recent 30 shows. Additionally, this takes up quite a bit of space on your average PC. It looks like PG4 (creator of the software) has fixed the problem in the version 1.1 release. We ask that any of our readers who have downloaded XB stream please uninstall it immediately and get the new version in its place. The new version maintains only the single most recent episode of any podcast on its list. Please note that the release is still listed as version 1.0 on the downloads page.
Use XB Stream, read X360F on the couch [update 1]
File this under "Awesome things you didn't know you wanted." XB Stream, created by the enigmatically named PG4, is an application that allows you to read RSS feeds -- pictures and all -- and listen to podcasts right from your Xbox 360. And like all good 360 apps, it has your gamercard on it, too. What's more, it doesn't even require Media Center. We downloaded it and installed it in a snap. If you've got Windows Media Connect and Media Player 11, you're pretty much good to go.Next time you take a break from Dead Rising, you can relax and read some 360 Fanboy. Go grab it and tell us what you think.[Thanks, splitmetal]Update: A new version of this application has been released in order to fix a major problem. You may read about it here.
