Xbox 360 Media Connect now available for download

By Richard Lawler

The big treat for Media Center owners (and to a lesser extent all users of Windows XP w/ SP2 is right around the corner. You can now go to Xbox.com (Firefox users or anyone who wants to go direct to downloading click here)
and download the Media Connect software to share content between your PC and 360 (when you get one). For all those wondering exactly what this will get you, check the list, directly from Microsoft's site:

 Connect to a computer running Windows Media Center and

  • Listen to your music collection
  • View pictures
  • Watch live TV
  • Pause and replay live TV
  • Record TV shows then watch them later
  • Watch Videos
  • Download and watch movies
  • Buy music online

Connect to a computer running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and

  • Listen to your music collection
  • View pictures 

Of course, good luck installing the software without a connected Xbox 360,
but you can run the installer and look at the beautiful bladed interface on your computer screen right?
