Im confused, why would you need a 360? You just hook your TV up to your computer right?

Sony gives Toshiba something in return for its troubles -- Japanese Cell chip plants for $835M
...The other interesting aspect of the move is that it indicates a clear shift by Toshiba to back the PS3. The PS3, which last month outsold Microsoft's Xbox 360, previously had few ties to the company; while Microsoft's number one ally in hardware manufacturing has always been Toshiba. Toshiba manufacturers several components for the Xbox 360, including the HD DVD add-on, and the Microsoft Zune MP3 players.
Toshiba's flip-flop may have been in the cards for a while. Microsoft showed little remose as HD DVD took second place to Blu-ray; a move Toshiba must have recognized from its American ally. Now the solidified PS3 venture between Sony and Toshiba indicates that Toshiba now has switched to backing the PS3 almost exclusively, another victory for Sony...

The only problem is that it won't play my .mkv files
go after the kazaa+lite codec pack, it's got like 1000 of them. I've never found a format I can't play since.

I can leave my computer running in my room, running a video server, and watch any video file I have on the computer on the TV in the other room. It's much less of a hassle.
I'm really surprised that it was so easy. I didn't have to do anything to the xbox at all, it natively supports connecting to a computer running a media server.
