My friend went online to Apple to buy an Apple TV,

He had to buy the new one http://store.apple.com/ie/browse/home/sh...y/apple_tv

Can this be jailbroken and XBMC installed ?

No, not yet.

Short answer: No

See this stickied thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=125013

Quote:DO NOT UPDATE TO ATV 5.0 or iOS 5.1 IF YOU WANT TO KEEP USING XBMC (no jailbreak)

and it should go without saying, XBMC does not currently run on the ATV3 (again, no jailbreak). There's no way for us to know when it will, as we don't handle jailbreaks, so don't ask.

There are plenty of jailbreak websites out there that will cover this and answer jailbreak-specific questions.
