Plantronics has released their latest Xbox 360 accessory-the GameCom X30 headset for Xbox and Xbox 360.
While it works for both old and new Xbox, the color scheme and inline volume and on/off switch let you know this was designed for the 360 from the ground up. With the CoD 2 multiplayer patch finally out, and GRAW and other big Live games out and on the horizon, it's about time we get a headset for the hardcore gamers among us.
Despite somewhat similar aesthetics, it's a rather large diversion from their popular Halo 2 Edition headset. When you finally figure out how you are supposed to wear it, you'll quickly forget it's there due to it's light weight and free-hanging design.
Here's another application, similar to Transcode 360(info), that will convert xvid, divx and other video formats on-the-fly so you can stream them from your Windows MediaCenter PC to your Xbox 360.
MCE Video Encoder is a Windows application that controls encoding and streaming of all video files, including DivX and XVid.
The application also includes a set of add-ins for Windows Media Center Addition 2005 that controls the MCE Video Encoder application.
Therefore, this allows you to not only set up and control video streams from your Windows Media Center PC, but also control and view the streams from a Media Center Extender and even an Xbox 360.
MCE Video Encoder has the following features:
* Start and Stop Streaming from Windows Client and MCE Add-in,
* Pause and Unpause Streaming from Windows Client and MCE Add-in,
The Pioneer HTP-XGS1 5.1 channel surround sound system is designed specifically to work with the Xbox 360. The unit has an output of 600 watts which will blow you away. The HTP-XGS1 is equipped with MCACC which stands for Multi Channel Acoustic Calibration. So what does MCACC do it measures your room's acoustic properties, and automatically adjusts the sound coming out of the speakers to to give you the best listening experience.
The remote controller should also allow you to control some of the features of the Xbox 360. There's no price yet, but the device is expected in may in Europe (no US/Jap info yet).

VLC360 is a french application (MCE plugin), similar to Transcode 360 and MCE Video Encoder, that will encode XViD, DiVX and other video formats on-the-fly so you can stream them from your Windows MediaCenter PC to your Xbox 360.
As the name suggests it, VLC360 is based on VLC/VideoLan and of course it does require Windows MediaCenter 2005 as OS.

* You can now install VLC360 anywhere you want on your Windows MediaCenter PC.

* For DVDs in .img and .iso it will auto select the french language (can be changed to english see forum thread).
* Support of more formats (I have no exact list)
* VLC will start as service (background application) on your PC.
