Windows Media Center was released in 2002....
Correct, and that was menu driven. Vista MCE is the one that borrows heavily from the XMB, and that was released years after the Sony PSX (2003) which was the first to have an XMB.

Indeed it was but all the new media center is is really an extention of the old one, I really don't see any relation between the XMB and Media Center for Vista - I highly doubt Microsoft got it's inspiration from Sony on this one. What I've been trying to get at is the vertical navigation was there with Media Center, all they did was make the sub categories visible, they already had some of that implemented in the XP version if I recall - go to a menu, and you could go to the right and select another item from it - that key concept is carried over to the NXE

No they didn't. I've had a media PC for 18 months now and have used Media Center almost daily on XP MCE and then Vista MCE when I upgraded earlier this year.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this.

This is shit. I'm getting error after error after error while trying to browse the marketplace.

Love that I can now delete zero gamerscore games though.

I actually like the NXE, Im pretty surprised, because I thought the BETA was pretty gay, but now that I can use friends and avatars and all that, its actually pretty cool.

Not long... about 10-15 minutes. I guess it depends on what game it is though, they all differ in size, but I can't imagine by very much.

Sweet. I'm going to use this on C&C RA3, that game dies every hour. Just have to hope the game will actually rip.

Edit: Does anyone have any technical details on the ripper, like how many times it'll try and read the disc before it gives up?

Edit2: Double sweetness Fallout 3 and C&C will fit on my tiny hard drive, happy days :D
