    If you have a 360 and use the media centre you have got to use this! Brilliant add-on to let you stream divx, xvid etc.. straight to the xbox from a media centre PC. I use it all the time now - no more messing about burning vcds anymore!

    Hope you find it useful.

    RE: aye

    ive played the battlefield demo and also the GRAW demo. Like BF for all the diff. stuff you can do - tanks, cars, helecopter, etc... Well nifty.

    Games ive got for 360 are PGR2, Dead or Alive 4 and PDZ.

    Looking to possibly get GRAW or BF when ive finished this project im on - if i get it before il end up not doing my work..... Had a quite shifty at the Tomb raider demo - looks half decent too.

    Next purchase on the list is a HD tv too - got my eye on the Toshiba 37" LCD but need to sell my rear projection first. Have you got HD? Its amazing the difference it makes.

    Is the 360 any good?

    I got the XBOX as as soon as it came out about 3 years ago, and up until about 8months ago it was best friend ever since. Got xbox live but only really used it for Halo 2.

    Played the old Ghost Recon last night, then saw the advert for the new on the 360, now I'm really tempted to get one, but not until I've finished my studies and qualified in June.

    My degree qualification is a grade lower than expected due to xbox adiction in 2003, not gonna make that mistake again.

    brilliant mate - and its not just a games machine either

    As inmy first post - if you download films or porgrams etc from newsgroups they can be streamed straight to your xbox from your pc to watch on the tv. Also digital photos and music can be streamed too. Basically you can throw yer cds and dvds away. The software is contantly evolving too so who knows where it will take us. To get the full beenfit you would ideally need a HDTV but ive had mine since before xmas without one and done fine. But ive now see what it can do in HD so a HD TV is top of my shopping list.

    more and more comig out all the time

    bear in mind this is a new technology! Its xmas before the PS3 comes out and i think the xbox is a clear winnder here.

    Some cracking games coming out now that are startng to show whatthe xbox can do. The release games were a bit tame but just have a gander at how they look on a HD tv! Quality. Its like going from 2D to 3D!

    RE: nah mate too dear

    i love PGR2. Although there are a lot of things that can be improved such as more realistic crashes and collisions. Apart from that its the best driving game out i reckon. I hate games like brunout where you can go at 10000 miles per hour and avrything is a flash - whats the skill in that?

    RE: Get Fight Night Round 3

    I bought one in Feb, after only having Sony consoles in the past. Great buy. fantastic games now coming out which show what the true capabilities are.

    Im on 'live, mainly play pro evo or call of duty 2.

    Will US games run on it or do you have to (is it possible) get it chipped?
