Windows Media Center Extenders are devices that allow you to “extend” the experience you get with Media Center to other locations on your network. The most well-known example is the Xbox 360 - you can look at pictures, play music, and watch recorded video that is stored on your Media Center PC. The Xbox 360 is the only so-called “version 2″ extender, but Microsoft has long promised that other extenders would be available, and now we have some proof:

Nathan Weinberg points to another post that shows some of Microsoft’s recent domain name purchases. Some of them on our radar would be MediaCenterExtender.net, MediaCenterExtenderSandbox.com, MCExtender.net, and ConnectsToMediaCenter.com.

Okay, so all we’ve got are domain names, but still - that’s better than nothing right?

Come on Microsoft, give us some new extenders!
