...music collection. If the Xbox 360 is connected to your home network (via Ethernet or a $100 Wi-Fi accessory), you can quickly pull up tracks from PCs around the house. You can also stream photos and videos, although not all formats are supported and the photo browsing, while thorough, lacked the sophistication of the PS3. Team Xbox also knows about your iPod.

Welles' 1955 film, about a shadowy billionaire who hires an American smuggler to look into his past, exists in multiple versions, all of which are collected here, along with a new "comprehensive" version, three radio plays, outtakes and alternate scenes, and the novel "by" Welles, more or less, that the film is more or less based on.
