I've been using Connect 360 since the public betas, it works well. The only
thing that doesn't work that I've been badgering them about for a while is it
won't stream iTMS purchases to the 360. It's handy though to be able to
stream most of my iTunes library for use in-game. AAC files work for
streaming as long as they're not DRM protected.
The photo slideshows I have used, and they work okay - look good on HTDV as
well. As for the video streaming - I think that's a bit meh - but it works. I
just don't use that part of it.
There's a demo available to see how it works for you (or at least, there used
to be).
