Author More detailed multimedia specs?
Davey

2005-09-15, 6:33 am

Does anyone know when there will be more detail specifications released on
the multimedia capabilities of the 360?

I'm interested in buying one purely for this side of things (dont care at
all about games) and would like to know, for example:

- Can I connect the 360 wirelessly to my current Windows XP Pro desktop PC?
- Can I browse the files on my PC (if shared obviously)
- Can I browse the WWW on the 360 via this PC?
- Can I play MP3s directly from this PC on my 360 over wifi?
- Can I play videos over wifi and if so, what codecs will it support?

TIA.

Should do all those other than browse the net i hope!?

And hopefully you wont have to be running media center on the pc, xbmc
has shown whats possible, lets hope MS get near.
