BlueMoon writes "TeamXbox released information today about the launch of the Voodoo VIBE, a Central Home Theater and Entertainment PC running on Windows MCE 2005 that is designed to sit in your home office as a central media server PC. What's special is that you can then hook up a custom VIBE XBOX to your TV that will allow you to record and pause live TV. You can also stream videos, display slide shows, play MP3, play live FM Radio, and even burn recordings to DVD from your VIBE XBOX on the VIBE HTPC."

how is this combo better than just an XBOX + XBMC? by Khyron · 2004-10-14 07:23 · Score: 4, Insightful

I saw reported elsewhere yesterday and I'm still thinking the same thing - why pay $5000 for something the XBOX can already do, by itself, for free?

I must be missing something because I don't see a lot of functionality that my existing modded XBOX running XBMC lacks, in fact, I see fewer codecs being supported this way.
