I've done some research on the matter, and I'm curious if there's a way to do this. 
The closest thing I've seen so far is Playon with a special plug-in, but I haven't yet 
given the free trial a shot yet, and don't reallly look forward to the yearly cost of the  
service if it's the only method. 
 
Has anyone else tried this or know of a way it could work?

@Kealokian: Your a subscriber! just download the video and watch it locally. 
 
Until they get paypal support I'm just using my computer to get to the TV...

Just find a way to hook your PC up to your TV. Not always easy, depending on how and where your systems are setup, but I'd go with that if possible.

Unfortunately, my pc and my screen are on opposite ends of the house for now, so it'd be pretty difficult to get it hooked up that way. 
I hadn't thought to just download the files beforehand, it's a little more work but it's not a bad idea at all!

just network your Xbox to your PC and download the videos to a shared folder. I'm assuming the GB videos are a compatible format for the xbox, i don't actually know.

We have access to the video RSS feeds now.  http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed-index/ 
 
So just use a podcatcher and  make the download folder inside the network share that you share to the 360. 
 
Auto download, auto win.

@Kealokian: in case it doesn't work for you because you don't want to use windows media server or some other sort of crap. 
 
Try this.

I use it on my PS3, but it should work for the 360. Just open up the program on your PC and navigate to it like you would playon or some other add-on.
