Did I mention my xBox arrived? My xBox arrived.

I am currently experimenting with the ethernet connection to the PC; it asked to install an update and holy shit! The interface has entirely changed (from old to new).

I kind of like the new interface, though it's very much like the PS3 menu turned on its side. Also the network thing now does not appear to be working. I might keep you posted.

EDIT: Okay, after downloading updates and restarting like six times, I can finally stream media from my PC and play it on my TV, yay! Unfortunately it only appears to share media that is inside my My Documents folder, which makes a mockery of the whole notion of a "media drive" (where I put all my videos so they are not taking up room on my main drive). I suppose I could live with copying stuff onto C: whenever I want to watch them on the TV, but surely there must be a better way.

Hmm, I wonder if it'll play those Doctor Who CDs now it's got the updated codecs and such like...

EDIT: Some of them. And now, to bed.

I actually hadn't thought of that. Will give it a go. (I wonder if I can do it specifically for the 'My Videos' folder...)
