Hi
Basically Im looking at buying a 360 not just for games but mainly to enable me to play HD content. Ive got a Pioneer 436XDE but up to now have had zero HD content to play on it, and sick of waiting for SkyHD and the PS3 Ive decided to opt for a 360. However Ive heard that you can only play HD content from the Xbox Live Marketplace at the moment.
I would be willing to purchase Media Centre 2005 for the PC if I knew I could stream HD trailers/movies/tv shows etc downloaded off the net. So firstly...
1...Is this possible and what types of files are playable?
2...Do u get any lag/slow framerates etc over an ethernet cable?
3...Can I run the Media Centre Extender in the background on the PC?
Thanks
