i think the swedish chef on the other forums got it right , it is ein photoshopen...

lol

but yeah it DOES say MCE and Extnder ... and shows the MCE remote..

no pics of any hardware or anything tho , and no more info other than what you have posted here..

Yeah! All a bit vague. But it is shown for the first time at the Amsterdam expo. I will keep an eye on the reactions of the Dutch mce'rs.
They are usually a bit more critical about new things.

Obvioulsy MS would like us the buy another appliance to get the Extender experience, but has anybody come with a software alternative that could be installed on a lappy? To buy a Xbox360 just to get an extender seems a waste of money as I have no interest in the gaming side of the Xbox and I can just image the reaction from the kiddies when daddy says " stop playing tomb raider, I want the xbox..." yeah right!!!!!

I personally , am interested in the gaming side of the 360 , and THE media extender side..

So i guess i am lucky?

my plan is to eventually have a few of them in different rooms , replace the DSM320 i have , replace my sons DVD player with one , etc ..

but yeah i would like a Software APP version for the laptop etc also ..

Won't happen is my guess. Their was a software-based Extender for PCs (codenamed SoftSled) but that is up in the air and unlikely to happen as MS want us to buy their xbxo 360's and if they release a software solution, companies like Linksys will be a tad annoyed as they have invested in making extenders of their own. If we could simply install a software package why buy anything else?

I for one can't wait for my Xb0x 360, literally as I am looking to import

Once these get down to the $250 mark (in 3-4 years) Then I will prob buy another one and start extedning around the house. One MCE PC can have up to 5 extenders connected to it. Drop in 5 TV cards and a load of storage and everyone will be able to tune HD TV and watch/listen look at everything on the computer.

exactly , roll em out all round the house.....

What about selling MCExtender as an ADD ON for xp .. so .......................


you buy the software extender for a significant amount like $200.


that way the hardware people couldnt complain , and really , if would be very conveinient to have an extender that you can have anywhere , on your wireless laptop.

Where can I buy a xbox media center extender kit for use here in australia? As I need to the extender dvd in the xbox to use the media center application it would have to been the correct region?

So is there a demand for a 'software' Extender for MCE.

I am Beta testing some UK software that may allow me to create an MCE Extender software app.

What would people pay for it? I would need to invest about $1,000US for the software, so if there are enough people out there prepared to pay for it, it may be a possibility. I am not in it to make a profit, but I would obviously need to pay for my investment.
