Wait until you actually try it to start talking about how great it is. The Xbox 360 plus XP Media Center gives (and has given for a year now) basically the same experience that Front Row plus the iTV will give, and I find it to be substantially less usable than the Squeezebox for simple music listening. For photo viewing on an HDTV, the 360/MCE combination is excellent; for HD movie trailers, it works wonderfully (and I hope that HD-DVD's managed copy functionality gets a solid implementation once things are more shaken out, so I can watch all my movies streamed off a server); but for music, having to use a TV is just a pain. -- mkozlows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27325 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
