Hey there,
It looks like having the newest Media Center Edition of Windows will allow you to stream movies from said computer to any TV connected by an Xbox 360.

Does anyone know of any applications (of course, in their early stages) for OS X that will allow the same thing? I mean, aside from launching Virtual PC 7 with a Media Center Edition of Windows (that I'm sure wouldn't produce great results - but hey, who knows).

I'm getting an Xbox 360 and would love to stream movies I've got stored on my Macs to the HDTV to which the Xbox 360 will be connected. Thanks,
BD

Wait until it's released and hackers have a look at the protocol before you start bitching about where something is.

"Bitching?" What in the hell are you talking about, you moron? I politely asked a simple question.

Boy, are you a major power tool. Get bent,

Hopefully, Apple will have something similar.

However, I can't wait for the day when the XBox or PS3 could be placed anywhere in your house and it would WIRELESSLY stream to your TV.

I don't want our main TV tethered to the game box. I like it better hidden in our kids rooms where it gets most of the action anyway. Plus, the dang thing is just flat ugly.

TwonkyVision UPnP MediaServer

It's a start,
