Hi,

Unfortunately with the Windows XP Media Centre Edition, you can hook up your
Xbox or any other game console to play, but due to the recording (play,
pause, rewind, fast forward feature) that Windows XP Media Centre Edition
has your movements will be delayed about 2 seconds making console gaming
extremely unplayable. There isn't any way to turn off the delay.

You could though have a go at using a seperate application to view when
playing xbox rather than media center so the input isn't being buffered. You
would have to make sure that all the mce services are all stopped first
though (programs starting eh in task manager).
