Microsoft X-Box Media Center Extender (A2A-00001) Description:

Microsoft X-Box Media Center Extender (A2A-00001) review:
1 stars (Great idea, but defective by design) - This product is supposed to allow you to use your XBOX video game system to watch programs recorded on your Windows Media Center Edition 2007 PC.



The package consists of a remote control, a DVD to install the extender software on your Windows MCE 2007 computer, an Xbox DVD (to put in your Xbox), and a remote control.



The only problem with it is that the audio on the right channel is noticeable lower in volume (and slightly distorted) than the left channel. Since my Xbox has no problem with any other software, I assume this is a software issue.



Xbox 360 will be out in December of 2007 and will have the same feature built in. Thus, save your money and wait for something that works right.



Note: I also have the Linksys Media Center Extender and it works just fine.
5 stars (Xbox Media Center Extender) - It took a little bit to get past Mcafee, but after that it was a breeze. The xbox is now the center of my media experience right where I want it. I bought it to get the bugs out before the Xbox 360 comes out, so it would be an easy transition.
1 stars (*** Caution - Not Compatible with Some Video) - I purchased the Media Center Extender for XBOX to be able to play all of the 800 Gigs of recorded TV and other content that I have stored on my Media Center PC. None of my DIVX files will play. Numerous calls to Microsoft confirm that the Extender is not compatible with alot of codecs. Be careful before you buy.
