The 360's early media capabilities were absolutely unheard of for the time

I was blown away when half way through the setup of my 360 my desktop running Vista helpfully chimed in saying it found the 360 and offered to let me stream all my MP3's right to it while playing games

Apple and Amazon are only now adding the group watch functionality that Netflix had on the 360. I really don’t know why this fell off because it was really popular within my friend group and we’d watch a movie together a couple times a month.
