Some features I enjoy are go on MSN, talk to your friends while playing games, download movies and demos while console is off, view images/videos on your pc...

yah but the bad thing is that it doesnt always allow u to sign into your MSN messenger for some odd reason. Other than that it has some good features.

It's also a media extender if you've got a PC with Windows Media Center, which is a nice feature to have if your Media Center PC has a TV tuner, as you can control all of that through the 360.

Everything mentioned in the other posts but the main thing, its the best games console out at the moment. I own a ps3 as well and I believe the ps3 is a better entertainment system but for games get a 360. Loads of better games on the 360 at the minute and games that are out on both seem to be better on the 360 (two examples I can personally use COD4 and Pro Evo 2008). You can video chat to friends who also have a 360, watch videos and films that are on your pc through your 360, if you have windows media on your pc link your 360 to that. PS3 can do most of these things to but as i said before for gaming the 360 is better.

Yes you can stream music, video and pictures to your 360 with XP Pro. It's just a long and confusing process but it works great once you get it set up.
