[edit] Media Center PC != console

Er..."Windows Media Center Edition"? Why is an operating system under region-free consoles? Perhaps we could add a section about PC import gaming, but until then, I'm taking it out since it's not a console.Alcy 07:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

What is a "console"? Does it refer to any set-top video game machine, or does it refer only to set-top game machines that use a lockout chip business model? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 04:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I would say that to qualify as a console for the purpose of this article, it should be able to qualify for List of video game consoles. Since the item in question is an operating system rather than a machine, I don't really see the connection.Alcy 08:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

How about "an IBM compatible PC capable of running the Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition operating system"? I didn't see any hard criteria in List of video game consoles or its talk page. --Damian Yerrick (☎) 05:01, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I added a new section for PC-based import gaming. I didn't go into too much detail, though. Perhaps you could elaborate on Media Center Edition there?

Also, do you think it's a good idea to add a link to the tutorial at http://blgames.ukepile.com on how to enable Japanese program support on Windows XP? The tutorial is geared to pirates, as there is a section about burning downloaded game isos, but it's also the clearest set of instructions I've seen on adjusting XP's regional settings.Alcy 05:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
