    I'm considering hooking up my X360 for use with NetFlix and trying to figure out video streaming. I've ripped a lot of movies to HDD, and I'd like to be able to stream those to another TV in my home.

    I only have Windows XP. Don't I need Media Center edition? Can I just get an "upgrade"?

    Thanks!

    For Netflix the 360 works great, you simply add the movie you want to watch to your instant queue on your pc, then watch it on the Xbox360... works very well.

    As for the streaming video part, not sure, I've only streamed music, not video's.
