Does the 360 come with Microsofts Media Center fully functioning? That'd be quite cool....

Our dev kits are still only in the alpha stage, and we have not delivered beta kits yet. The final kits will ship to developers in July.
So only 4 months to create x360 launch titles with real kits?

Ispep nope, you stream from other PCs (doesnt have to be MCE XP). You might be able to watch media of the Xbox 360s hd but not record it.

no the games are being created now with the development kits they have but being programmed to use the advanced stuff already, thats why alot of the xbox E3 stuff didn't really look next gen as the stuff they was showing was dumbed down cause the xbox360 used wasn'y running at what it could be - they basically had to show real footage as theirs is out 1st, where as Sony just showed alot of pre-rendered movies saying that what the ps3 could do

Haha, there were some idiotic answers in that interview, especially the one about DVD and Blue-Ray. Is he an idiot?
Since when is HD-whatever the only reason to pick blue-ray..has he ever heard of MORE SPACE? Very Happy
And this whole deal about 1080p. No tv's that supports it today? No but what about LATER? And since when do SUPPORT mean that you HAVE to use that and NOTHING else? Very Happy

Seriously, his answer on that question was the most idiotic thing I have ever read, ok maybe not the most, but you get the point Very Happy
He basicly say that "We at microsoft do not care about the future at all, so screw the future" Very Happy

Or maybe they just think that by the time anyone gives a shit about all that superfluous crap they'll be bringing out their next console.

I'm fine with that.

It's a just a bit of damage control towards the hype surrounding the PS3 taking the limelight. His answers are propaganda.
