lets just say that i am not going to be an early adopter of blu-ray or HD-dvd’s.
anyone can try to sound smart now but no one can definitively say the winner until one is gone.

I still wouldn’t want one of these drives cause bt computer is not hooked to a tv. Watch movies on a computer screen is reserved for lonely people.

do you really have luck streaming to your 360? i based an entire media center server setup around streaming to my 360 and it didn’t seem to handle much of anything even on a gigabit network. I would get interruptions just streaming divx, let alone a blu-ray movie…

Chino, you’re :gay: gimme my OS X discs back 😛
I need to read the details, but if that burner can also burn normal DVDs/CDs, I’m buying it next month or whenever it comes out since I still need a burner for my desktop rig.

No offense but you’ve got something wrong with your setup. I stream TV minute shows and full length movies without issue and I’m using Ethernet over Power between my desktop and 360.
And aside from owing a 360 and a PS3 to cover the basics of both formats, it will be awhile before I buy a stand alone player.

What if your computer screen is a 46" Bravia LCD? :wiggle:
Besides, no burner, no care for the PC. I want to be able to make backups on 50GB discs. Watching movies is a lower priority.

i dont see why studios are turning to bluray other than its non-ms backed.
the discs are huge. a typical movie doesnt even come close to filling it. and its expensive…

Because there is already so much acceptance of BD. If Warner went HD-DVD it would prepetuate this war for much, much longer.

heh im not offended, and I assume there must be something done wrong… I don’t really know a ton about media center so i’m sure its possible i’m doing something wrong. One item might be that the “server” is vista, so vista’s media center might be shite. I really don’t think it has anything to do with the network as I started with wireless, then went wired, then went and bought a business class gigabit router still have issues with it buffering from time to time.
I didn’t put too much effort into it, just figured it was another spotty microsoft product 😛
Now that people are saying they are using it succesfully maybe i’ll kickstart the project again
