ksteigert Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 The only thing my dh really specified about in a desktop was that it have HP media center installed on it. So I did my homework thank to this great site, and finally decided on the HP bundle at Circuit City for $549 after rebates. So, camp out starting at 1am for this deal, get it home and it. of course, has XP home edition installed. Circuit City tells me that it was a misprint in their ad, and there isn't anything they can do about it. So does anybody know of any inexpensive desktops that I can get with XP media center? (maybe a crazy request now that the early bird specials are all done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimfp Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=22298 Unless they post a sign near the item saying it's a misprint, I think they should still have to honor it. What cr@p! Edited: Your request isn't crazy, someone here will find you a deal (maybe not as good, but better than average!). Those awesome deals can be had all year long, just stick around.

Lightning_ Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Almost any desktop that can run XP Home will run Media Center. Just look for a good deal on Media Center if you already have the desktop and want to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksteigert Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 Lightning, I was told by CC that Windows XP media can only be installed by the manufacturer of the computer, and that there is no update that you can buy to install media yourself. Is this not the case? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
