Seriously, I really need to know what is meant by this. It would be awesome if IGN even bothered to do some kind of follow up on this answer, because this is a pretty damn big deal if they're saying what I think they are.
Using my Xbox 360 to stream stuff from my computer to watch on my HDTV is one of the things I use my Xbox 360 for the most, perhaps rivaling even gaming itself. Does this statement somehow mean they're not including this capability on the Xbox One in any form? And is it because they somehow want us to pay to use some of the other services on the system? Or is it because of some type of deal with cable and satellite providers? If the worst case scenario that I'm considering right now is even remotely close to true, then this would mean that a $500 videogame console that talks about being an all in one entertainment device can't even do what a $100 apple tv can do, or even what an Xbox 360 can do. Am I simply misinterpreting what was actually said here?
Because as badly as I want an Xbox One at launch, if this is actually the case, I'll be canceling my pre-order today, and just wait for a major price drop before I even consider picking it up. This is beyond frustrating if true.
Will Xbox One work as a Windows Media Center Extender? For those that use a PC with TV tuner to record and watch TV, we use the 360 as an extender to stream this content to TVs. Will this continue with Xbox One?
WHITTEN: Xbox One isnt a native Media Center Extender. Well continue to work to enable more ways for everyone to get the television they want over the life of the program.
