One GLARING problem with the XBox 360 was its painful lack of support
for common media formats. Again, I don't know if there are ways to get
around this or even if it is true, but my neighbor said the XBox would
only play WMV media (which wouldn't surprise me, considering who made
the dang thing). No DiVX/xvid AVIs. No Quicktime files. No MPEGs. Only
WMV. The word "sucks" went through my mind a few times.
Microsoft built Media Center to allow plugins - there are many that
have been written, including those that skip commericals, download the
weather, connect in with chat services, etc. There are a couple
plugins out there that will allow you to display other codecs. I
watch DivX movies on mine.
