"Can I watch Amazon Unbox movies on my Xbox 360?"
Amazon Unbox videos will playback on your Xbox 360 by streaming them from any Windows computer with Windows Media Player 11 installed. This is a really convenient way to get a larger selection of downloadable movies than what's currently offered by Xbox Live Video Marketplace. Unlike streaming DivX AVI movies, which also works with the Zune software, you need to use Windows Media Player 11 to make the following steps work. Older versions of Windows Media Player will also not work.
First configure your computer to share video, music and photos with your Xbox 360. Make sure your Xbox 360 is turned on and connected to your home network before beginning.
Click the Now Playing button at the top of the Windows Media Player 11 interface and choose More Options. On the Library tab of the Options, click Configure Sharing.
Check the box next to Share my media to, then select your Xbox 360 and click Allow, so that there's a check mark on the Xbox 360 icon instead of a warning sign. Note: If you get an error message about your network, follow steps to set your network from Public to Private.
On the Media blade on your Xbox 360, choose Videos, then hit the X button to Change Video Source. Select your computer from the list of choices. You can now browse the complete library of videos on your PC, from the Xbox interface, including any Amazon Unbox downloads you have.
Think of The Story So Far as the version of Battlestar Galactica that keeps you up on the water cooler gossip or appeases your spouse so you can feign interest. Packing 30 hours of episodes into 44 minutes, The Story So Far covers everything you need to know about the first two seasons of BSG so that you'll sound like an dedicated fan without really being one. The special compilation traces everything you need to know about mankind's fight for survival back to Battlestar Galactica's rebirth, following those remaining few members of humanity trying to outrun an enemy that never gives up. That sci-fi obsessed nephew you see every holiday season has nothing on you after you've compressed the show down into this Cliffs Notes-style version. Best of all this is a free download from Amazon Unbox.
