If you currently have Windows 8 or plan on purchasing it in the future, you can get a free product key for the Windows 8 Media Center Pack for a limited time (normally a $9.99 value) here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

I saw this yesterday. Where anyone can get Windows 8 for $15 http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/201...le-lets-anyone-buy-windows-8-pro-for-just-15/

 

[MrPiggles]

You can get Windows 8 for $15 here: http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/ Just enter your Windows 7 product key and say that you bought Windows 7 after July 2012

 

[derdaca]

I guess this has been fixed now? I tried a few different dates and it kept asking for my Win 7 key. And since I have a retail (not OEM) version of it, it didn't accept my key. Oh well.

Thanks to the OP regardless. If I or anyone else I know gets Windows 8 Pro, this will come in handy.

i have Windows 8.....just not sure if it's worth the upgrade.

Well, it is ALOT cheaper than Windows in the past, $15 if you're upgrading or $40 normal for Windows 8 Pro. Windows 7 Pro was over $300 in comparison.

Can any of you guys stream videos from Win 8 to your X360? I'm unsuccessful via the app on the dash, and now with Media Center as well.

You supposedly are able to do so with Media Center, I remember trying it out and it working a while ago. Here are some directions: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/audio-video-setup-and-use/windows-media-center

 

[LinkinPrime]

I'll give that a shot later...thanks!

It was fine with Win 7, I figured its just the bugs that haven't been worked out, but the link has some things I have yet to try.

 

[KramMan]

Thanks, this is good to have if or when I ever upgrade to Windows 8

 

[ArrenDusk]

Thanks OP.
