It's a hidden known attribute (well was hidden from me), that if you get the VUZE program for the mac, you can essentially stream videos from your computer…

HP PC + Windows 7 + Xbox 360 Arcade: More Great Offers!
details
As promised last month, flagging a few great offers that many of you will likely want to check out, especially students.

So here's the thing. I would love to get one of these for my big TV and move my old 360 into another room to use for Netflix, DVDs and Zune videos.
