That does sound like a great idea!

However, I do think it would be costly for development to program a BOINC Manager for so few people with an Xbox 360 that would run SETI@home. And for those with an Xbox 360, there's a chance that the system could "crash" just like my old Xbox system this weekend... :-(

At the moment, the access to the xbox360 development tools is restricted, as pointed out by Microsoft

This might (hopefully) change in the future.
