    Until my 360 plays more of my Xbox games than not, it's not good enough. Great system, the ball has been fucking dropped and punted away on BC.
    Still have 9 xbox games sitting on my shelf collecting dust.

    Another site says that the keyboard will be be packaged with a new headset too. How cool is that? Wonder what it will retail for.

    I suck typing on Blackberry's. I doubt I'll be any better with this.

    It appears it doesn't have a passthrough for some reason:

    so it's probably a special headset to plug into that hole.

    It does, they've already said.

    x264 support is rad. does anyone know of a better way to stream files to the 360 without that fucking awful Zune software?

    Uhh, WMP11? Does it just fine.

    While the support of Mpeg-4 and H.264 is welcome. Will we ever see divX support?

    They're halfway there.

    But you might not see it since it's GPL.

    I love the keyboard idea.

    I've never been a fan of voice chat in online games. Hopefully the keyboard add-on will mean that text messages become a viable option for console gaming.

    x264 and MPEG4 support. Depending upon how flexible it is (i.e. will it play them within AVI and MKV containers, and will it comprehend DivX5 and XviD, etc.), that could be totally spectacularly awesomely super-de-duper.

    I would love to skip transcode360 to play most of my stuff from my media center. Transcode360 rocks, but if it worked natively, then I'd just need transcoding for really weird codecs. Man, if they could play MKV x264 files... that would just be groovy.

    Sorry to go a bit offtopic here but I have a question.

    I have boatloads of anime that I can't stream to my 360 using transcode. It's mostly encoded in h264 and a .mkv container. How do you get transcode to get things working? Watching anime on te big screen instead of my monitor would be jolly.

    So now the 360 needs some PC mmorpgs ported over, not sure how many 360 original mmorpgs there are in the works, I know of Huxley and that's it . Having 360 versions of the big players like EQ2, WoW etc would really strengthen the 360 even further. Voice chat is cool for those types of games. But I wouldn't use voice that much because it's like being on the phone with a bunch of strangers and I wouldn't have much fun doing that. I'd rather just be able to type so it''d be nice to have the choice if both are offered.

    I believe Warhammer Online:Age of Reckoning has a strong chance of being ported to the 360, because they ran some demos with the 360.

    I want me some Conan,
    I heard you have to play through single player mode, then go into online mode which sounds fun.
    Maybe a use for all the 48 hour XBL cards I have.

    As for BC issues, They need to sort out Morrowind SE. Having serious withdrawal problems, Oblivion just doesn't cut in some places.
    Fix BC and then dashboard updates, Thank you.

    Yah, this is nice. It always irritated me to have all my videos appear in one big, long list. I made it a point to organize them on data DVDs for a reason, only to have that effort go to waste when I watch via the 360. Nice to see this addresssed.

    does this mean we get more codecs using the media center streaming as well?
