There is no point in buying it solely for that, and nobody in their right mind would buy a console specifically for that feature. However, it's a nice addition to have

Support for DivX HD (720p) would make more sense, but of course legacy DivX support would be a bonus. I'd expect MS to be more keen on providing support for the former, who knows what they will pull out of the bag

hmm tried with the controller, but just wouldnt go down to the play dvd option as it was greyed out.
Is it possible to stream tv from my computer to the 360 (cancelled sky so have their freeview but no E4 but my computer has a digital card)

Saves buying a DVD player for the job as well as having an extra box under your TV.
Of course what would be cool, is Bit Torrent for the Xbox.

You wouldn't need to see it or do anything other than be connected to live and not in a live game (just like the active downloads) and the torrent client could take the strain off the main MS server ?

updated mine yesterday, now it cant see my desktop.
I had updated to media player 11 on the desktop and I set up media connect again and also set up media player 11 to allow access to the xbox and I can see the xbox on my desktop, but the xbox itself cant find a computer. Everything appears to be okay in my router as well, sharing is enabled there and no security settings have changed

MP11 needs certain ports open in your firewall to enable the xbox to see it. If they are not open, then your pc will be able to see the xbox, but the xbox won't be able to find the pc.
Readme for Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP
Specifically, you have to open up...
TCP - 2869
UDP - 1900
