@gorath, fanfoot:

Why would media need to be transcoded??

If the Zune can play a certain bitrate, the Xbox certainly should too.

If you mean "re-encoded", that's different, but doesn't the Xbox already support all the formats that the Zune does? I thought they added MPEG-4/H.264 support to the 360 already. Neither device supports Divx/Xvid so that's not even an argument either.

Fanfoot, I'd hazzard a guess that if you connect the zune to your Xbox, and any media needs to be transcoded, it would be the Xbox that does the grunt work.

I like the new design. It looks different from the iPod with its angles, and the large text-based main menu. Nice. If they continue to develop the features that make it unique (subscription music, wifi syncing, FM radio, etc) and with the right integration with XBox Live Marketplace, it might actually get some traction.

I do wonder how the integration with the XBox will work however. With the iPod/iTunes/Apple TV everything is centered around the PC. Are you going to have to hook up your Zune to your PC (even if its wirelessly) to transfer a video from your XBox to your Zune? If not how is this going to work. Can you just connect your Zune to your XBox directly? Does it transcode video?

Questions, lots of questions.

This do need to take some giant strides forward though. The part where they're just doing video for now, and not music or photos? Sorry, fail. They are BEHIND. There can't be giant gaping holes in their comparison with the iPod ecosystem.

"If Microsoft can integrate Zune/XBox/Media Center into one giant cooperative ecosystem, then they would absolutely dominate"

Never happen. MS just cant see things like that. A few examples, Mesh, and Play for Sure. WTF is going on with Mesh?

My Xbox 360 is the worst piece of electronic gear I have ever owned in my life. After my second RROD, I quit my Live subscription last August, my kids play 3-4 games on it and it streams Netflix. I just found PlayOn the other day and its streams Netflix to my PS3 in the basement. When that 360 goes, I will get another PS3.

"They've defined the category with everything from the first iPod"

That's the kind of hogwash I'd expect from losta. The iPod was a virtual unknown until it came to Windows, and even then, it wasn't even a player until Apple intro'ed iTunes with a music store.

" it was iTunes and the firewire for synching"

When the iPod was released for PC, it was USB 2.0, not Firewire that drove adoption, sorry to say.

And Apple wasn't the first to offer it either.

"Actually better than the now ubiquitous USB 2, but that is the unfortunate lowest common denominator."

Ya that's why Apple dropped it on the Macbook.
