Did you know your Xbox can blog? Or that you can hook up one Xbox 360 to two screens at once? Techradar has a fun and pretty comprehensive look at ten things you can do with your Xbox 360, most of which I'd never heard of. Definitely worth a read if you're a 360 gamer.

Some of the highlights from the story (click through for the full list of 10):

  • > Set up a blog for your 360 at 360voice.com. I just set mine up this morning so it will be a couple of days before it has anything interesting to say (check back later in the week), but you can check out other people's Xbox's blogs here. (They're automatically generated based on what games you play and what your running gamerscore is, how often you play, and what achievements you get... plus lots of amusing commentary along the way.) Check out some other 360 blogs here.
  • > Hook up your console to two TVs at once: You can use both the composite and component video cables simultaneously if you set switch on the cable to standard resolution.
  • > Play online for free! Don't want to pay the $50 a year for an Xbox Live account but still want to jam with friends? Download XLink Kai and you can trick the console into thinking your web connection is a LAN.
  • > You can play music stored on your iPod through your Xbox if you download and enable the "optional iPod support" tool from the Marketplace.

There are, of course, six more excellent suggestions for the taking if you check out Techradar's insightful story! Epic win.
