Good, No Great Things Come in 3's!
15 February 2007
We're Back! Team Blackbolt has returned with 3 gifts for you tonight and possibly a 4th a little later on! So first of all, Welcome to our new site. We have redesigned it so its a lot simpler than the previous 360 inspired look, we have done away with the seperate 'downloads' and 'skins' and gone with the single 'skins' link. Within the Skins section you can find all the skins available for download, the download links are usually at the bottom of the page. We also have a full on News RSS Feed now, you can click the RSS link at the bottom left of every window. But wait, there's more! You can now leave us comments right here on the site, for every news post. And even more, we have a new contact email address, you can see the contact button on the bottom right of every window.
Right, now that mouthful is out the way, here are the 3 promised presents:
1 - Xbox Classic XBMC Skin Rev 467 Release
We have renamed the old 'Blackbolt Classic' skin into a new refreshing name, 'Xbox Classic'. Ok, its not that refreshing, but it gets the job done. Jezz_X has been hard at work inbetween the work he does for nearly every XBMC skin currently inproduction, to finish off more fixes and more features for this amazing skin. He has added full XBMC support in all resolutions, new animations effects and even reflections. This is one of the most feature full XBMC skins available now.

2 - XPR Express Skinning Tool
A new GUI tool for creating and extracting XPR Files. When MC360 1.0 launches this Friday, 16th Feb, you will be able to full extract all the texture files from the XPRs. Up untill now, none of Team Blackbolts skins have unprotected. But starting today with Xbox Classic, you can. EqUiNoX has worked extremely hard to get this application ready for release today and I am sure you will all be thankful. He is accepting donations, for more info visit the Tools page or click the image below:

3 - Apple Movie Trailers/AccuWeather Script Skins
As if Jezz_X didn't have enough to do, he has found yet MORE time to create more skins, this time for the Apple Quicktime Trailer skin by Nuka1195. Working with Nuka he has created MC360 and Xbox Classic skins for both scripts. We have added a new 'Other' Section to the skins page for you to download these scripts, with skins packaged. Please note that the Skins for MC360 in these scripts require MC360 1.0 which will be available on Friday anyway. Click the image below to be taken to the Other Skins page:

So thats all 3 of todays gifts out the way. More about the 4th. Action Corp TV have created a new trilogy of videos for us. They first did a preview video before MC360's first beta launched and then they followed up with Trailer 2, an excellently edited Hi-Def video showcasing the skin. Well now they have completed the circle for us and have created a final look at MC360 1.0. Seth and Sean, your favourite Video Podcasters got together this past weekend and recorded some great footage and dicussed some interesting things about MC360 and XBMC that I am sure you will all find enlightening. You can look out for that podcast really soon, either TONIGHT, or tomorrow. But either way before MC360 1.0 launches at 8pm GMT on Friday 16th February 2007.
Thanks for the support everyone has given us, we really REALLY appreciate it and we hope you think of us when downloading our skins and tools, the donations button is just a click away, every little helps.
Thanks Guys.
