Jason Dunn at Digital Media Thoughts has put up a hands-on review of the Xbox 360, focused mainly on its features as an entertainment system.

The original Xbox required you to buy a separately packaged Xbox Media Extender in order to view audio and video from a Windows Media Center Edition PC. The Xbox 360 has this feature built-in, and also-- apparently-- there will be a version of the Media Connect software that can be installed on "any PC". Not sure if that means "any PC running Media Center Edition" as I've read elsewhere, or any PC running Windows.

(Personally, I hope it doesn't require MCE; being able to watch my collection of Halo movies on a big screen without having to install a new version of Windows would be nice--Ed.)
