1 edit | many issues I've got a modded XBOX I can fire up XBMC and toss some media in a share on my PC and watch free of charge!
Anyway I hate the MS points system they jack you on prices and the 20 dollar cards you buy don't get you very far and you are paying to keep them for a short period of time aren't you?
Also LIMITED HARD DRIVE SPACE! c'mon 20 gigs is NOTHING why would someone who has an HDTV want SD content (Besides price) and knowing you plopped down 4 bucks a movie or show and then you run out of space? your throwing your money away!
Right now the 20 gig costs 100 dollars how much is a 40 or 60 gig version of the drive going to cost? 200? 300? how can Microsoft justify the high cost of a lousy 20 gig Hard drive?
Finally the xbox servers are SLOOOOOOOWW!! it takes along time just download a 1 gig demo or even half a gig demo it takes a long damn time, if you downloading full HD movies or shows it's going to take way to long, I can get HDTV shows other ways faster, for example I watch Grey's Anatomy I can download the show illegally faster OR, OR I can fire up my xbox and login to ABC.com and watch it on my big screen or fire it up on my Computer and watch it on my computer.
Microsoft better get a bigger pipe for all these downloads they claim they are so good but everything is so damn slow! were paying 60 a year to be apart of the service plus were paying all the money for MS Points, points you don't get for playing your games points you pay out of pocket for and we get slow downloads!
I think this will take off if they increase the speed of the downloads and if they lower the cost yes there are always other ways to get the same content but I think keeping with the current generation of 20 gig hard drive isn't going to get us very far.
Yes we could go buy a PC to xbox 360 memory card add on thing and dump all our downloaded content to your PC but who wants to disconnect, connect and transfer media and saves just to use your XBOX 360? but the average gamer isn't going to and I don't think we should need too.

| Try playing HD on the original XBox, it doesn't really support anything more than 540p. |

kudos:1 | I've watched HDTV XVID Rips and WOW there is a huge difference when watching the same thing on a regular SD Rip.
I love XBMC though I can toss everything to my 52 inch HDTV it's awesome!
