You can stream videos from your computer to your PSP via wireless? That's impressive!loosus said:I don't have a 360 but...it doesn't already have this capability? Even PSP can do that.

I understood what you said. I'm just a bit surprised that it doesn't have the native capability, because the hardware was made for that sorta thing.Speevy said:Well like I said, it plays movies through Windows XP Media Center PCs, and you can download high definition movies to play.
You can't currently stick a USB flash drive into the machine and have it play back your WMV video though.

sprocket said:I never really gave the whole MEDIA CENTER thing much thought . But i hooked it up the other day and to my surprise there is alot of online streaming content you can watch of of it on your xbox 360 ! Pretty neat stuff .
Huh? I don't think he means streaming playback period, but local X360 HDD or USB device video playback.Vista - yes
Windows XP - probably not

So basically MS is saying you have to buy a Windows XP PC to enjoy their multi-media features but you have to buy a 360 to enjoy their games?Striek said:Probably not. MS has the 360 as their way to promote their vision of the digital lifestyle...
Speevy said:Just curious. Do you think they will? I don't think just one format would destroy their original connectivity vision, but I'd certainly like it. It just seems silly that they have photos and music but the videos are download only. arne?
Safe Bet said:360: no web browsing, no multi-media features, no allowing developers to use k/m controls in games, ect...
arne said:It definitely seems possible based on a recent update of WMP11 to beta 2, I remember people posting about it (http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2006/9/7/5220). However it doesn't work right now, but it says it does, so hopefully sometime in the future. the Windows Media group is outside of my sphere of folks I can easily get info from though.
Speevy said:Thanks. It just seems like something that wouldn't require much space or time to implement. Just one format would do it.

Wish I could get both in one box for ~$500.
With some optimization may be but what is that 4MB limit?tirant said:Will Microsoft be able to fit all codecs and software needed to play avi/divx/wmv videos in just 4MB (ROM)?
shidoshi said:This is one instance in which Sony is a far better solution than MS, thanks to them not trying to sell you a separate hardware/software solution like MS is doing with Media Center. There's no technical or logical reason why the 360 couldn't have been a great media box by itself, expect, of course, then you aren't buying Windows Media Center or Vista or whatever other junk.
Plus, isn't streaming video to a 360 still limited to WMV? Garbage.

Speevy said:That's just sort of backwards. MS is THE solution for anything software-related, they just didn't spread the love to the Xbox 360.
