I have it, and it's great...IF you have the peripherals to attach to the computer to make it all work nicely.
You need an IR controller, and TV out, as well as audio out to a stereo to really appreciate the goodies. IMHO it's a waste of time for most users, as it's basically a bunch of built in toys to run the media you currently have. It is NOT a stereo system OS. |

is it possible to buy the os and load it onto a pc that i already have, or is it best to buy it preloaded. does it come with the peripherals, or is that extra?

Sure. You can load medai center on to any reasonably new PC. I have it running a four year old AMD Athlon XP (2500+) system and it runs beautifully.

Why did you dig up a 3 and half year old thread?

Wow, that's strange. It must have come up in a search of similar threads and I didn't notice the date.
My mistake. |
