Anaheim, CA | 360 Just keeps Getting Better
Thats it, I need to get one of these. The Xbox 360 just keeps getting better & better. It now seems to offer SO much more than the other consoles & it appears its now also a DVR. |

Elkins Park, PA | Yes, if Microsoft wants to get serious about getting into the business of providing TV content over broadband, the 360 will need a bigger hard drive.

the DVR is not the HD for the 360 is the PC hard drive. the 360 is a Media Center Extenders. so for DVR functionality the 360 is streaming what your pc is recording. I have a HD just for that (400 gigs) |

HELLO!!!
IS ANYONE here aware that with the latest update to the dashboard, Mass storage devices over usb are supported. Albeit it's only wmv, its still wmv nonetheless. I haven't had much trouble converting to wmv from divx etc. You can plug in your ipod under storage mode and put files on it that way, then u got all you want. Of course with a simple video cable, you can do the ipod alone, but its def not as good. Anyways, yes mass storage is already supported maybe not for the money downloads, somehow they should allow that to be done. |

Microcenter has a $100 mail in rebate on all 360 consoles. So it bring them down to $199 for the Core system and $299 for the Premium kit, before taxes. |

The marketplace keeps a log of everything you've ever purchased, and (for the now) anything that you have logged to download or purchase can be re-downloaded for free if you ever have to delete it for any reason.

i had a small problem that was easly fix'd by just doing a full reboot. Other then that is just a simple codec problem I.E. doesn't play .avi lol and like 1 out of 20 files I convert to mp4 or mpg format it'll show up but say it's not playable so i just re-encode it.
The inconvince of moving stuff from computer to PS3 was solved using a simple file server (I use Red Kawa File Server and their video converter) |

| can get files from PC via the file server on the PSP via wifi just have to use the internet browser just like with the PS3
»www.redkawa.com/ Red Kawa is just a group of 3 college students that made these programs to make things easier for the PS3 and Wii files. They've changed the convert slightly and i've yet to have that problem yet with the files showing unsupported |
