* no lets buy an xbox 360 because it can talk to our PC
is this vendor lock-in or am I way to anti-microsoft
I hate to say it, but I have my xbox 360 fully integrated with my PC and quite frankly the benefits are nothing that the average user would ever take advantage of. Now when you factor in that the majority of users are "average users" you'll see its unlikely anyone would purchase an xbox360 purely because they could connect it with their PC
Perhaps if MS really does succeed at IPTV on the 360, but even that is going to be tough

Actually one of the reasons I'm considering buying an Xbox 360 is because my PS2 isn't that great at streaming media from my PC.
