I dont really have the time to go into detail, but console games are able to run consistantly without lag, freezing, or glitches. All games and consoles are generally bug free. You will experience a number of bugs and fixes for pc games. You also must have an updated gamer video card in order to run most pc games at an optimal rate.

I was just reading another similar thread dated back in May but since we’re days away from the launch of the Xbox 360 I have to ask myself : “Can the Xbox 360 completely replace my HTPC?”.

Here’s my setup:

I have one media server that contains all of my DVD movie content and it also runs MCE 2005. This server feeds, via a gigabit lan, all movie content to another MCE 2005 machine setup in my HT. That machine in turns is used purely for outputting video to my Sanyo projector AND recording/playback HDTV.

Here’s my theoretical setup with an Xbox 360:

Same media server but now it’s connected directly to the Xbox 360. I take the HDTV tuner card out of the “main” MCE machine and put it in my media server. Now the media server is a video server AND video recorder. Movies AND recorded TV is now playable on the Xbox 360. Therefore, my main MCE machine that I have poured countless hours of blood, sweat and money into is now completely defunct. I don’t use the main machine for surfing the web, I use it just for video and Tv recording/playback. The bonus addition with this route is I can now play games too. The only thing I’m missing is “My Movies” (maybe possible if using the Xbox as an extender?) and Live Tv (possibly streamed from the media server?)

Possible?
