Bought a HP Media Center Edition yesterday, and at the same time turned my 360 into an Media Center Extender, which felt really nice. The conversion saw my 360 adding the wireless pheriperal and moving from the second bedroom into the lounge. Here's what I found:
Media Center enabled computer = Expensive
360 wireless pheriperal = Oh my god expensive.
I shelled out the equivalent to 100 dollars to get it. Are you kidding??!Now, Microsoft may be loosing money on the core console, but they sure make up for it on all other fronts. Wasn't too happy with my Gamer tag alias, and opted to change it. Or rather, opted not to change it after I found out that I will actually need to make a micro payment in order to do it.
Dear Microsoft, please focus your attention on bringing out interesting games first, then exploit my convergence fetish. Not the other way around.
