Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Xbox Media Center Extender
Customer Review: WORKS ONLY WITH 2005 EDITION OF MEDIA CENTER
Summary: 2 Stars
And none of the PC manufacturers who sold the system with a 2004 edition can?? or will upgrade to 2005. Bummer
UPDATE: Sony finally sent a free upgrade to 2005.
Customer Review: Great idea, but defective by design
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is supposed to allow you to use your XBOX video game system to watch programs recorded on your Windows Media Center Edition 2005 PC.
The package consists of a remote control, a DVD to install the extender software on your Windows MCE 2005 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 2005 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.
Customer Review: *** Caution - Not Compatible with Some Video
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Customer Review: You do not need this.

You can just buy an Ethernet cable and plug one end to the xbox and the other to the console. There, I just saved you $45
