Dell Media Experience - Q4 2003

"The new application will ship standard on all Dimension desktops. Designed for digital photography, music, and videos, the Dell Media Experience is basically Windows Media Center without the TV or DVR features"

Although lacking Xbox games, this promises to function just like XBMP for PCs. Dell in my opinion is likely to put out a much better products than MS with their Media Center PCs.

What do you guys think about this....

Did I miss it? Where did it mention XBMP?

It doesn't mention it. Just making the point that it is has very similar functions as XBMP which seems to have been modeled after Win Media Center.

My some of my friends with modded Xboxes only run XBMP (mostly movies, music, radio, and pics) and don't play games at all. For these guys, a software only product for PCs would compete with modded xboxes. Especially for those guys that have an extra computer lying around to use in the living room.

My guess is that we will see more computer companies (i.e. Gateway) launching this type of bundled product...
