HTPC vx 360 extender

Hi

With the recent DivX update, I'm wondering what advantage a HTPC really offers over a 360 networked to a desktop PC with tuner cards and massive HDD storage?

Is there some kind of limitation with the 360 and HD TV playback? I've heard it alluded to on these forums, but am finding it hard to pin down what it is...

I just feel like I blew all these dollars on a HTPC and now the 360 could have done it all (minus some obscure codecs) with the help of a tuner card and a new HDD in my desktop...

And would have been a great gaming console to boot...
