Media Center Extender - Set-top vs Xbox

Dec 12, 2004 1:42PM PST

I have media center 2004 and I am upgrading to 2005 because I want to be able to hook it up to my TV. I am wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether I should go the set-top box route or buy an X-box and a media center extender accessory. Any experience you can share about each would help. My wife and I are not big gamers, but I was wondering if buying the Xbox would give us more for our money.
