    Hi all,

    In Afghanistan for a year... would like to play an xbox 360 through my M17X and wondered if anyone could tell me how?

    BTW - this lovely machine is heavy as hell when you are lugging it around the world!

    If the answer is no... that makes replies easy. If the answer is yes, could you please explain how... I am tech savvy so no need to be to basic on how to do it. I just have never done this, so not sure how to go about it.

    Thanks!
