Bought a 360 last night. Few Q's...

[paddymph]

Firstly, oh yes, it is mint. If you're thinking about it go get one!

I got the Premium pack, PGR3 and Fifa 06 all in for £265 from Makro, top deal really.

So, It's all set up and running, Live is done etc etc, I've linked it to my PC upstairs so I can listen to my mp3's, watch video's etc. Will it only stream WMV files (from my PC) this way?

And will 360 play copy DVD's? Sam egoes for the HD-DVD?

I'l be gutted if it does, I bought a new DVD player about 2 weeks ago!

It will only play wmv files from PC, and possibly some avi's, but it won't do anything else especially divx etc.

It will play copy DVDs, I was suprised by that. I had Crank on mine the other night and it played no problem. I don't know about the HD DVD player doing so though.

Can't you stream xvid and divx using transcode 360?

 

[Clart]

Doesn't that require a media centre PC?

Nope.. not any more... can do it from XP now.

I was thinking of moving back to xp pro from media center tbh. Media center doesnt half kick up a fuss about things.

Yeah and it works great. Very easy to use.

I was looking at that earlier. I'm going to get it sorted when I get home if I get chance.
