XBOX 360 "how it works" video presentation

Random_Ninja · 6th September 2005, 12:02 AM

Stumbled across this whilst at ign.com
It shows everything about the xbox 360 other than gaming.. Was awesome to see the ipod connected and moments later, listening to a playlist.. Really is "plug and play" stuff here guys

Warning - It will make you want it

Yeh looks awesome ay

I like how its an extension of a MCE box. You could tuck your media centre box right away and have a nice little 360 sitting on your entertainment unit. Instead of an ugly pc.

This console might shift me from sony!

Video is downloading now

. Only problem I foresee with the X360s media capabilities is that IIRC the video has to be WMV, of which I have barely any on my computer. Still, it's defefinately a step in the right direction and should add a lot of value into the console.

You're quite right there...... Really good ideas......

You could build a really cheap old HTPC, and you'd only need decent HDD, wireless card and maybe some RAM, because the XBOX does the rest!! HD Output etc....

They want it to be popular..give it a bittorrent client and xvid playback

The presentation was in Germany.

I can't even download or watch it... 403 error

They've come a long way from the original XBOX, that's for sure. With this multi-device compatability and integration with Windows Media Centre, the PS3 is going to have to do a whole lot of cool shit for anyone to want to look sideways at it. :-P

themickman007 · 9th September 2005, 11:23 AM

yeah say they have better graphics and the playstation brand name will make everyone look sideways.
