XBOX 360 has built in Media Center functions

As expected the XBOX 360 has built in Media Center functions. So it will be able to stream TV, music and vidoes from a Media Center PC without any extra software neeeded.

It will also stream HDTV, good for US owners

I wonder if it still uses Remote Desktop to get content to the XBOX? Will existing MCE apps work with the new XBOX? I think that streaming media is built in but there are no details about other MCE apps.

Anybody got any ideas?

At least we will get we should get extenders for the UK and the rest of the world

    Yeah, personally I’d like to know why the U.S. got the XBox Media Centre extender, and the UK didn’t. So I guess I’ll have to buy the XBox 360 for the media centre capabilities…or mod the original XBox. Whoops, I mean, no I wouldn’t dare to void my warranty and illegally mod the XBox….
