Re:

En realidad... es el momento de lanzar algo así, es como tener YouTube en un HTPC ahora por ejemplo, pero claro adaptado a la consola, un medio más sencillo y claro ya con mayor calidad... esa es la TV del futuro, la que lanzará también Apple a lo bestia el año que viene.

La TV que mide la audiencia por el número de descargas y no por los audimetros esos prehistóricos, digo yo eh...

¿Está usted seguro que se la quitan? No creo que tenga relación la IP con la velocidad... vamos, en el curro teníamos 3 Mb y pasamos a 10Mb sin problemas.

Mireselo bien.

 

[KRYCEK]

Si q la quitan, ahora to dios tiene IPs dinamicas.

 

[heva]

pero puedes pagar un "extra" para una ip estática, no?

 

[KRYCEK]

si, pero no quiero pagar mas por algo q ya tengo.

Volviendo al CES: Perlas del Gates:

Gates: Nintendo is Our 'Toughest Competition'

That's right, Nintendo not Sony. Microsoft head honcho Bill Gates (right) thinks that because of the "impressive strength" of the company and its new Wii console Nintendo is now Microsoft's biggest competition when it comes to video games.


In a recent interview broadcast in Japan (view the clip), Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has asserted that Nintendo, not Sony, is actually Microsoft's toughest competition in the video game space.


This comes as somewhat of a surprise, considering that Sony has been the market leader for two console generations in a row and that the industry in general seems to view Microsoft and Sony battling it out with high-powered systems while Nintendo takes a radically different approach and targets a slightly different audience with the Wii. Furthermore, Gates himself recently acknowledged that Microsoft and Sony are both looking to take over your living room. This doesn't appear to be what Nintendo is aspiring to, at least not on the face of it.


That said, there are only so many video game dollars to go around, and Nintendo is ultimately competing for a large segment of that same pie. When Bill Gates looks at how well Nintendo is doing with its DS and Wii, he has little choice but to consider them competition.


So what are the Microsoft exec's feelings on Sony at this point? In a different interview with Dean Takahashi of the Mercury News, Gates noted that he thinks Microsoft and Sony have "switched positions." Time (let's say 4 to 5 years) will ultimately tell if that's true or not. Gates also said that Microsoft has the "high ground" because it can "ride a silicon cost-reduction curve faster than Sony can."

Y mas de la IPTV...

Microsoft talks TV at CES 07

Game Development GM Chris Satchell breaks down the basics on IPTV for 360.
By Sterling McGarvey | Jan. 9, 2007


It's been a momentous CES for Microsoft. Between their last pre-Vista launch hurrah and several announcements regarding Xbox 360, it's been all about MS this week when it comes to gaming. While the Xbox Live Video Marketplace has been a success for the six weeks since its Thanksgiving launch, the announcement of the 360 as a set top box for watching television was exceptional news for the system. Earlier today, we got a chance to sit with Chris Satchell, General Manager of Game Development for Microsoft and find out more about watching TV on the Xbox 360 and the Video Marketplace.

When we entered the press room, we saw a few shows on the Discovery Channel running in high definition on an unmodified Xbox 360. The channel guide resembles something similar to the same guides that people have been seeing for years on cable and satellite services. Certain shows will also be able to display at multiple angles, as we saw while watching a surfing championship. The waves, beach, and surfer were all displaying in separate windows onscreen at the same time. There's no confirmation that it will be something widespread, but Microsoft's IPTV is certainly capable of doing it.

The idea, Satchell explained, is for telecommunications companies to distribute television content over the Internet. Considering that cable companies have been muscling in on home phone service, the Bells want a piece of the television action. The idea is that digital television over IP can be available to Xbox Live Gold account holders through their 360 hardware. When asked about who would be responsible for billing and providing the service, we discovered that it will be up to the telecoms individually, which could leave a gray area for channels and content. There's no confirmation of any premium channels available at this point, but then, the details seem to be scratching the surface at this point.

Xbox Live functionalities, such as chat, will still be available while using the service, and viewers will be able to jump in and out of games while watching a show. The service, we discovered, will also function as a DVR, although we're still not getting confirmation of a bigger hard drive to support content such as Video Marketplace and IPTV. Also, while both are similar, IPTV is different. As it will be subscription-based and priced according to the standards of the ISP, the service can't, as of now, be paid for using Microsoft points. Video Marketplace should remain the same for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. Satchell believes that the key to Xbox 360's video successes has been about providing something relevant to system owners, and IPTV will meet those demands.

We tried to get an answer about the release window, but we've been told that while it will unveil this year, it's not clear whether it will happen in the summer or going into the holiday season. Undoubtedly, as 2007 progresses, we'll find out even more about Microsoft's IPTV service and deliver the latest and greatest on this new technology.

Buf...cuantas más notícias aparecen sobre el tema, más claro veo que esto de la TV en la 360 tardaremos mucho en tenerlo por aquí. Ahora dicen que tienen que ser las operadoras de internet las que se encarguen de ofrecer los contenidos, así que la cosa se complica aún más...¿hay suficientes usuarios de 360 (que además la tengan conectada a Internet) para que alguna compañía se anime?

Me parece a mi que esto va para muuuuy largo....

 

[James Bond]

La verdad es que sería genial poder centralizar TV, HDTV, DVD, HD DVD y CD en un sólo aparato conectado a INTERNET.

Yo por mi parte haría lo posible por tenerla conectada. Eso sí, habrá que ver los precios porque lo mismo son 60€ por el LIVE, más otros 60€ por la TV, más otros 120€ por la HD TV, más los PPV, más... y se nos queda el invento en ser multimillonario o tener mucho potencial y poca realidad.

Sigo esperando a que me envíen los de PLAYASIA el maldito cacharrillo de HD DVD, como esto siga así me veo con el aparato ya sacado en España y el mío "viniendo" de algún lugar desconocido....

¿Alguien que tenga experiencia con PLAYASIA me podría decir qué tal funcionan?
