Xbox plus Windows Media Center
on: June 22, 2010, 11:13:07 PM
So last night i hooked my xbox upto my homebuilt computer thru Windows Media Center. I Like IT!

Now all my Netflix, movies on my HD and music are seamlessly played thru my xbox across the room. I spent a few hours sorting files so everything is easier to find.

I recommend this for anyone with windows 7 and xbox and live account.

No xbox here, I just have a Wii, which is my first gaming console since the original 8 bit Nintendo.  One thing I wish the Wii did was play DVD's since my DVD player is on it's last legs.  I had a friend over last night to watch some movies and I had to hook my laptop up to the TV since the DVD player was in one of it's moods!

I'm considering something like this:



I'll add an external Blu Ray player and use it mostly for media- it should handle just about everything I need to watch.  Interesting to know about the xbox thing though.

ask epfiefer (Eric) how he got his Wii to play DVD's I know it can be done, just not sure how.  We stream our netflix through our Wii which is also very nice.
