    Vuze seemed to show up fine on my PS3 (should be the same for Xbox)

    It's a free torrent program/media server I think.

    Run Windows in Parallels/VMWareFusion?

    Also it might just be easier to link your TV to your MBP and use that. If you have Boxee you can use the IR Sensor (built in) + a universal remote, it works just as well as the 360.

    software name is (playback) watched a whole movie no problem.

    To plug in the macbook I would not be able to use it for my school work. With playback I can stream it to my tv (for the wife) and I can do my work.

    You can connect an external hard drive to the 360 I think.
