Anime fansub heaven! :D

I love slapping .avi files onto a memory stick and watching them through the 360. Anime or regular tv, it's one of the greatest extra features in a console ever.

Why not just stream it from your PC?

Some people have found that certain avi/divx files will only play off directly connected devices.

Also, I haven't the slightest idea how to do that. I mean, I know you can, but while I've got a router I don't have a clue as to how to turn it into anything but a fancy splitter for the internet. Besides, the memory stick method works perfectly fine.

I like the look of this TVersity thing, is it better than Connect360 for Mac to 360 sharing?

I think it's Windows only.

I used to use it until they updated the 360 to handle more codecs. Now I just use WMP 11.
I recall FFDshow came in handy with TVersity ... http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDshow.htm
I may have no control over the length of my life, but the depth & width is entirely up to me.

It is :). I checked the link you posted, and it says in the requirements 'Windows XP / 2000 / 2003 / Vista'. The forum has people asking for a Mac version, but there doesn't seem to be anything yet.

That's strange. I was convinced I'd seen a Linux version on there. Hmm. I guess I'm getting old and senile.

The Force Unleashed demo is coming on Thursday apparently. It contains an early part of the game set in the TIE Fighter Construction Facility.

If you click either of the screenies in that story it'll take you to a Flicker page full of screenshots that may go some way to explaining why I've been getting excited about this.

Screenshots like this one, for example:

Mama Pajama! That looks superb! There are some YouTube vids of this that are quite incredible.

This Wednesday, you say? Hurrah! To think, I used to hate Wednesdays.
