I mean, if it's under warranty and M$ fix it, I'm happy with that.

I'm curious to know if anyone's running either console as a media player.

All my machines are networked and the last one TV out's to the telly, but the GFX is pants.
I'd love to be able to send an avi over the network to a HDD on a console and run it from there.
Admittedly, I've not seen that this is as straight forward as I might imagine. Damned hard work trying to find simple info sometimes.
I occasionally use my 360 to stream music and movie from my Mac, I use a prog called connect 360 to help me do this however I believe that using windows its a lot more straight forward. I have been able to play most of my xvid/divx avi files.

The newer consoles are a lot more reliable due to the better processors that are meant to run cooler
