What do you use your Xbox for?

Sofiztikated

I know its primarily a gaming machine, but what do you use your Xbox for?

In this order, I:

Use it to watch movies from an external HDD. It plays most things I throw at it.
Listen to music from said HDD.
Play demos.
Play games, singleplayer mostly.

I rarely multiplayer.
I don't use the Facebook or Twitter features.
I don't have Sky, so don't use that.
I don't view photos.

What about you?

TV/Movies > Single Player > Multiplayer.

Watch videos from an external source

Pretty much just use it to play Fifa 10 with mates off line or manager mode. Have PC in same room so use that to play films/music etc.

Hopelessly addicted to online gaming specialy since I hooked up with a turtle beach x11. Its extreme.
Also use the on demand stuff from sky as its free. Those 500 free films n those crime documentaries are alway interesting. Dont really watch normal t.v. Anymore just anything thats posible through the 360!

Bob the Seducer

Just games really, offline at that. It's like living in 1996 (with an xbox 360) at my house!

HD Porn, StreetFighter 4 and Halo really.....

Watch DVD's

Watching Movies/TV Shows > Single Player Games > Multiplayer games...

I dont use Sky, Twitter. I've used the facebook once and thougt it was rubbish...

I love being able to watch movies though the xbox (but its a real pity there is still no MKV support)

Doesn't have to be MKV to be HD.

Play music

Games, nearly always online when I pay the sub, don't play singleplayer offline usually, only play offline when people are over.

DVDs sometimes, and I'd use the SkyPlayer if I knew how to work it.:P

Some WMVs. Only have 3 off the top of my head. TV is only standard def so I can't be sure they're playing in HD, but 2 played perfectly on a PS3 before on a 42 inch telly.

Aside from games obviously

Sky Player + Media Center (Externally downloaded on PC) are full of W1n !!

Watch videos from an external source

gaming single and multi.
Though I do watch the odd vid on a USB stick/DVD on the xbox downstairs.

tman

Watch Sky

Mostly for gaming

My PS3 gets used for music, dvds and video files, but I will occasionally fire up the 360 if the PS3 is having problems with an AVI file. (not playing the audio can be fairly common)

Gaming
Watching Xvid Movies (If its DivX, i use PS3, Xbox dont play DivX films for me)

Sod'o swords

Play music

I noticed the lack of 'abusssin dem foriners' which i'm sure proves popular among many.

But for me, Games both SP and MP, recently though it's mostly just the Odd DVD.

Undead

Play Atari Jaguar...Wait, what?

Pretty much all of the above, mostly SP, MP & Sky Player.

tom_ass19

Watch Sky

Use it mostly for multiplayer games online, music then movies. Dont use sky or use twitter. Logged into facebook and zune a few times just to check it out. Playing music and movies across the network, lot easier than having to transfer stuff on and off the external.

Tis the job

Dcully

Media player mostly but tbh its rarely used.
My son uses his to game.
I stick to my pc for gaming.

Im watching blu ray movies on the 360 thanks to yamb

Apparently I'm Spanish, amigo!

Use it for games, online and offline. Watch a few DVDs every now and again, or something from my external HDD. I have my pc and HDTV side by side, so its nicer to watch it on the bigger screen. Adios!

Watch DVD's

I don't bother with multiplayer on the xbox, why pay a sub when it's free on the PC.

I also use it watch HD video.

Checkout Xenon MKV for all your mkv demuxing needs.
(the only problem I've found is I have to change the .mp4 extension to .m4v for my xbox to see them on my twonky server NAS)

!MAVERICK!

Play music

Since I got a PS3 this January, I haven't used my Xbox for nothing but a few single player games.
