Super Bowl Commercials: Now Playing in Media Center
Microsoft has added the advertisements from this year’s Super Bowl to Internet TV, the feature available for free in Windows Vista Media Center. That means you can watch 51 ads from the big game in full-screen decent quality on your Media Center PC/TV, or streamed to your Xbox 360 or Media Center Extender.
I tried it out, and picture quality is decent standard definition with good sound, but they chose not to include HD ads (or they couldn’t), which is a shame, because seeing these ads in HD would be great. At least they aren’t too horribly compressed. If we can start counting on Internet TV for stuff like this, it’ll be a very useful feature for Media Center owners.
