Control Media Center Pc Applications
The Xbox 360 media center remote can be use to control Media Center PCs. While someone has an application such as Word, Notepad, or Explorer open, press Up, Down, Left, or Right on the remote. Whatever they are doing will either scroll or move in that direction.
Clear hard drive cache
Turn on the Xbox 360 while holding A to remove old cache files from the hard drive.
Custom background with a Sony PSP
Your PSP must have photos on it. Plug your PSP into the USB ports on the bottom of the system. On the PSP, choose the 'USB Connection' option. On the Xbox 360, go to the 'Media' slide and choose 'Pictures'. Then, choose the 'Portable' option. Go into the PSP file and the photos file. Any photos on your PSP should appear here. When you find the picture you would like to be your background, press X. If done correctly, the background on every slide should appear to have the picture on it.
