Anyway, what does everyone think will come of a Mac OS X port for the XBox 360? I remember the port for the XBox but since the 360 has a PowerPC processor then OS X would be able to run at native speeds (theoretically). However, this may require a chip - the same kind of chip that stops OS X from running on home-built machines. Would it be possible to provide a BIOS that supports this or maybe a software exploit? Thanks in advance for any answers. I'm looking forward to my £280 dream machine.
