New Question.
Do I let my Media Centre PC connect to the NET or my main PC to transfer files, and If I do? Do I need to run a Anti-Virus program on my Media Centre PC. Or will the Anti-Virus program impact on media playing?
No one said that PS and Xbox are bad

from what i hear the Sony console will be a better option than the X-box - particularly for gaming - it has none of the ridiculous restrictions Microsoft have put on the xbox regarding second hand games etc...and the playstation will be second gen bluray so should be a more robust media centre.
yeah it would seem so.
microsoft now needs to come up with something much better than halo.
Does it still have GIANT ENEMY CRABS?
