Coolroom is some UK video download site. Its already out. It was announced before anyone heard of HOME. LOL at cows. Microsoft is integrating it into the XBOX LIVE 360 experience as part of its IPTV initiative.JiveT

why did you bash homewhen the 360 was gonna use a similar feature?

How can it rip off HOME when this service was announced for THE UK back in December 2006 with all these features you are claiming they stole from HOME?

http://www.intel.com/cd/corporate/pressroom/emea/eng/334339.htm

This service is already up for the PC in the UK.

Home was first announced in early March of 2007.

I assumed they were bringing it to the USA but the TC failed to mention this still seems to be a UK only service. Sorry to break up your celebratory cowgasms. lmao

Do you knowthat? Because unless anyone actually plays it, we don't know how good it will be. And BTW I think that both are completely unnecessary.

HeHateMe_basic

lolz at the HOME wannabe :lol:

and they say Sony is the ripoff artist....M$ is funny

Yeah they stated they have been developing it since2005 but they didn'trelease any details about it until 2007.Do you know how long COOLROOM was in development? The fact is that COOLROOM exists right now and was announced before Sony told anyone anything about HOME. Are you implying the COOLROOM developers stole Sony's ideas?!? Give me a break.

Besides it still doesn't seem like a good idea. If I watch a movie I don't want to be distracted by a bunch of virtual nonsense be it COOLROOM or HOME.

Quoted because some people apparently can't read it.

And I'm apathetic either way -- I think Home is unnecessary and I think this will be too.

get an xbox and put XBMC on it. Omg, same thing. Only a lot lot cheaper.

JiveT you already owned him just let em try to spin it it as much as he can until he realized hes lost the argument:lol:

wow looks like MS is copying home, with coolroom. (WTF coolroom? who came up with the name COOL ROOM. sounds so geeky.)mazdaspeed-rx8

JiveT wins.

Flawless victory.

I'm surprised that you guys don't know how long home has been developed...Like What JiveT said Coolroom was only announce now, but has been in the works for a while in UK...Yet JiveTcontradicts himself and says that home was only announced in march...

Do you see where I'm getting at.."announced"..

Just because home was only announced in March, Sony has already confirmed thats its been in development even before this generation std.
