Hi peeps, I want to buy a 360 but need to ask a few questions first: -

1. I presume I can rip audio cd's to the HD of the 360, but is there anyway I can get them music files back off it at a later date? (Without mod's chips etc)

2. Can I hook the 360 up to my PC to send mpeg's etc across to it?

Cheer for anyone and everyone's help.

you can not save music/pics to your 360 from a pc. mediacentre or not. but you can stream music/pics w/ just Windows XP and to stream video you need Media Centre Edition.

I can't for the life of me stream music or video. I have bridged my wireless PC to my 360 hardwired and it tells me it cannot connect to my PC. I am running WMC 2005 and I have connected to my 360 but it still will not let me stream??

Maybe its sooo simple Im just looking to hard.

I have never tried to hardwire the xbox to the pc but I have done it through a wireless network.

Did you download the program for your pc?

Alright you guys, I have a question of my own

I don't have an xbox 360 yet but now Ive sort of come to a fork in the road. I cant decide whether to get an xbox 360 or wait and get a PS3. I just so happen to be a fan of both Sony and Microsoft and I own a PS2 and an xbox. Ill probably end up getting a 360 and PS3 in the future but which should I get first?

thanks for your time

Peace out!

I would get a 360 now and a PS3 later. The reason is I don't have much doubt that the PS3 is going to better in the long run but your looking at atleast another year or 2 befor that happens. When the second round of games come out and developers start to know what they are doing. Till then, the 360 will be the better choice

Never mind I got it going. My firewall was blacking the PC or Xbox from connecting to eachother.
