  • I just saw a comment of yours in the old thread:

    Eternal Sonata is getting better reviews. Also, I don't really trust mainstream site reviews of niche games like JRPGs.


    Since when are jRPGs niche games?

    • I hereby declare this the general Xbox 360 thread.

      HD movie downloads over Live Marketplace

      Video and music streaming from a PC

      Not being able to stream anything but wmv and mpeg

      This all being somewhat pointless since I have a DVI cable running from my PC to my TV anyway

        Supposedly Xvid/Divx is coming soon.

        Look at TVersity, Nero MediaHome, or Transcode360. All will do realtime transcoding of DivX/XViD to MPEG-4, WMV, or MPEG-2.

          That doesn't help for, say, h.264+AAC in mkv. If they just included something like mplayer+codecs (properly licensed) it would Just Work.

          • Support for more codecs would be nice, especially if I started looking for torrents closer to HD. Connect360 allows me to play my music, but it would be nice to see official support for Macs.

            I'm interested to see what they do with the IPTV they talked about a while back.

                  The properly licensed part is the rub.

                  The 360 can and does decode both of those, obviously, since HD DVDs use it.

                  • It may decode them, but it has no idea how to pull them out of the container.

                    • That's rather trivial to do. It's licensing issues.

                        Obviously, compared to decoding. You'd still think they could add support for most container formats when they use codecs the 360 can decode.

                        And no licensing issues should prevent avi support

                        • Hmm, I've been planning to set that up for a while, but most of my music is .mp3s and films/shows are .avis.

                          So neither will work?

                            They pretty much are on the Xbox 360. I don't trust the mainstream reviews because the love it or hate it 'marmite' factor is higher that for e.g. shooters, generic action games, racing games or sports games.

                              Or maybe Kuciwalker as I doubt anyone else took it.
                              And you didn't confirm which it was.

                                mp3's work everywhere. .avi's won't stream, though.
