So I got a rude awakening this morning when I upgraded to windows 10. Windows Media Player is gone and I have no idea how to stream media to my 360. I've been in chat with support for over an hour. They are struggling to find any information on media streaming to 360. Occasionally they come back with instructions for xbox one, but are mostly confused. I can't find the answer via google. Has anyone figured this out?

How can I watch movies from my PC through my 360 after upgrading to windows 10?

Alright. Yeah that is what was wanting to do. I have a Torx screwdriver set, so I can get it open no problem. I just wanted to make sure that it is the lens that is the problem. I would hate to replace the lens only to find out that it is a problem with the control board or drive motor.

My PS3 stopped reading disks. The warranty is long gone, and I don't want to send it in to Sony if I don't have to. I am a DIY kind of guy.

When I put a disk in the machine registers that there is a disk. The disk gets pulled in just fine. The blue disk indicator light comes on. When sitting at the XMB, the circles loading icon shows up in the clock as per usual. However, it doesn't stop. The circles keep going, but it never reads the disk.

Have you had any problems with the Blu-ray drive failing? Did your problem sound like mine? Does this sound like the lens gone bad?

I currently have the 22mps cable internet(along with a silly boost thing that ups my speed at the initial start of a download). The connection test in the XMB settings says I have 24mps download. I go to download the Ratchet demo and it is coming in at 3mps. Taking about 15min to download. That seems to be about standard for me. A 1-2 gig download takes me about 10 or so minutes. I can watch movies as I am downloading them off the store without ever having to wait for buffering. I've done everything I know to ensure a good connection. My PS3 is wired with a static IP, and opened all of the ports in the router for it. Media servers are turned off, and I have NAT type 2 settings.

While I seem to get everything off the network in a timely manner, I am not exactly downloading with the full speed of my connection. Does the PSN have a limit of about 3mps? I realize that the connection speed will go up and down depending on how busy the network is, but is there really that much more it can go up? What about with playing games like CoD and Uncharted 2 online, are they ever going to use the full potential of my bandwidth? My house only has one other computer, and it's mine. So there aren't going to be multiple downloads going on to eat up the bandwidth.

I am thinking of switching to a much more stable fiber optic connection with a 12mps connection. I am dropping my speed by 10mps, but I will still be above any speeds I get on PSN. Could that drop still for some unforseen reason effect my PSN connection for the worse?

[QUOTE="FrankenLife"]This a cute video making fun of it.Mogotoo

I may be missing something because of the lack of audio on my computer. What were they making fun of?

Yeah that is totally your computer. I can hear it just fine. They are making fun of game and stupid activities that they were doing in the game.

This more directed at the Wii, but it Tony Hawks Ride is in there too.

It used to be more about going over the top. The original Tony Hawk games were great when the first came out, for you were able to do impossible things on them. Some other games would have you do normal things and then be put in extrordidary situations with them. It seems to me that there is too much emphasis on being as true to real life as possible(I'm not talking about shooters and the like). Why spend 2 bucks for a hoola hoop when you can spent a whole bunch of money on a Wii Fit? And now we have more of that coming out.

This a cute video making fun of it.

This stuff sells. Companies want to make what sells. How far will this go? When will Cash Register Hero come out? What do you think about these things?

I know they have it, and I thought I heard that it was the international version, so english is an option. Is this true? Sony doesn't want to bring the good PSX games to us, so I'm tempted to get it off the Japanese PSN. Before I do, I was looking for confirmation that I can play it through in english?

I know C4 makes the explosions more real, but really you much better off with a good sound system. Otherwise you are just going to keep loosing tvs like that.

The Agency and Ghostbusters. I am really surprised there isn't more of a buzz for the Agency. Though I suppose it would be due to low amount of info released so far. For the PSN I am really looking forward to Burn Zombie Burn. It is zombies ate my neighbors for this gen.
