Download the bootcamp beta from somewhere and I believe there is a way to do it on tiger still with that.

Firstly, what Mac do you have?

The beta checks the date on your mac. It's if it's past the expired date boot camp will not load.

The other way of course is to get a Leopard machine (if you know anyone with one) and do the boot camp partition on there and run your mac in "Target mode".

Or might be a long shot, but make the partition in Disk Utility (as MS-DOS format) and then boot directly from the Windows XP cd and then format as NTFS. You should be able to download the drivers from the net. (depending on what mac you have, i might be able to upload the drivers for you)

Let me know which option works.

you could also keep an eye on StreamMyGame

you would also need a windows PC somewhere, and they don't do a mac client yet... but they do do a linux one, and support for various consoles - could be another option in the future. there is a trhread about a mac client on their forums too, i added my support for wanting a mac client
