Last week Cnet reported about a hack that would allow you to stream NetFlix movies to the Xbox 360. Now they decided to go and show us all how to do it - full details are at <A href="http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9983275-1.html" target="_blank">Cnet.com</a>.

Doesn't work unless you have vista premium or ultimate.

I like the interface, but it's easier for me to just hook up my Macbook with WinXP through DVI->HDMI to my LCD TV and then do the full screen option in Play It Now. At least I won't have to worry about any beta software or Vista.

Maybe the new version of TVersity allows you to do this.

I read two blogs/news sites. MaxConsole and Lifehacker

Best on the net for internet news and things to truly make your life easier.

Anyway, here is the write up of this video.

360 Media Center Extender biggest CRAP ever!!

You still have to use a pc. Why not watch in on the pc
I have my pc and 360 hooked up to a lcd tv.

Why wood i stream video's to the 360 with the use of a pc. If i can watch them direct from the pc on the same tv.

Xbox one media center is still the best ever.

And i really don't like the idea to have a pc running just to watch some media files some where else in my house.

I'd have to run a 100 foot s-video cable that's why
Vista no thanks. Well.....maybe a dualboot is in order
