This is a step in the right direction, but the coupling to Windows Media Center Edition is a show-stopper. There's no technical reason to tie this sort of functionality to an MCE box and the long-term payoff for MSFT (control over the living room) is greater than the revenue stream of the very few individuals that might buy and MCE box just to do this. Continuing with this coupling is a bad business move for MSFT and a show-stopper for consumers because of the cost.
Wise up Microsoft! |

This could be really great... I do a lot with digital movies and it would be nice to just stream them to my TV to see how they really look. But as with everything it really comes down to price with how successful this product will be. Still, I think it's a great idea.

I have created an online movie library with my 360 via the Media Center. I encoded my DVDs to Hi-Def resolution WMV files. Each movie has a folder and I saved the DVD cover art in JPG files called folder.jpg. When I browse my movies on the 360, I see a big list of DVD covers. Just click, and I have an awesome 1080i resolution movie with full Dolby 5.1. It will be interesting to see what the features of this media center are, and how it will work!

So I have to buy a 360 and Windows MCE just to "transcode" video to my TV through my 360? No thanks. PS2 and Xbox can already play these formats off of a local network... and the cost to buy and mod a PS2 or Xbox is about 1/3 the cost of a 360 and Windows MCE. Thanks for giving us the -easy- functionality.
I bought my Xbox just to stream media to it via XBMC. I probably would've bought a 360 on launch if they would've included this functionality into the 360 natively. Why they didn't? I guess so they could sell more Media Center Edition PCs. |
