It upconverts, so for $50 it might be worth it for that instead of buying an upconverting DVD player.

Otherwise, no way, not worth it at all.

I live on my own and my 360 is hardwired to the modem and my PC is setup wirelessly (even though the modem sits right on top of the computer)

It's only certain videos. I don't think it has to do with bandwidth since it's the same videos that do it time and time again. it's not like it's random.

My bandwidth isn't being used too much. I'd say 90% of it is free at the time. Does it use bandwidth to stream? That makes sense.

For example, I'll stream ep: 3 of 30 Rock and it'll stream fine, when it's over, I'll move onto ep:4 and it'll be sluggish. Same exact file from the exact same source as the previous episode.

Some of the videos that I stream seem to be very sluggish, like they're continually buffering. Is there a way to fix this? It's very frustrating.

It's not the source since sometimes it's CD 1 or 2 of a video and the other works fine.

I got a 360 for Christmas but the manufactured date was 6/06 which I'm really pissed about but didn't realize until the time to take it back was already up. It was sealed and brand new.

My question is does that mean I miss a whole year and a half off the warranty for RROD? Or is it from the purchase date? And it it's from the purchase date how do they know the purchase date? Do I need to send my receipt? Also, if I'm getting disc read errors, can I send that in for repairs free of charge or is that just for RROD?
