crazy, this was on engadget 2 days ago, but it feels like it was a week old.

I tried this—for about a minute. Granted, it's not a whole heckuva lot of time, but Plex, it ain't. I've used Boxee, Plex, XBMC, and about 2-3 others. You know what? Plex is pretty much flawless. Hell, it even comes with a folder action that catalogs your downloaded TV torrents into Name, Episode, and Season so that it can read it properly.

Can someone who has tried Plex, but stuck with XBMC, can they explain to me why? Cause... I don't get it.

XBMC does that too. Plex was forked from XBMC long ago, and no longer has the benefit of seeing all of XBMC's improvements added into it. The only thing Plex has over XBMC, are the plug-ins, which are coming to XBMC in one form or another. Once that happens, Plex will be nothing. XBMC has one thing Plex greatly lacks: Developers, lots of them

Yeah I tested XMBC too... versions of long gone... and in its current form...

I can't really say why... but everything SCREAMS PC to me... while Plex feels more OS X-like. Feature-wise I could not really spot a difference...
To be quite frank tho... I probably do not use that many features of the software anyway.
Imo there's room for improvement with both of them... so let's just wait and see... I for once... have 'connected' my video library with BOTH apps...
