Xbox 360 Convergence: Is it here?

I just realized that last night I had the ultimate convergence experience on my Xbox 360:

I turned on my Xbox 360. I checked what my friends were playing, and decided to play some Halo 3. I played for a while, when a friend’s MSN message popped up on the screen. I waited for the game to end, then MSNed them back. While I was doing that, a friend from Halifax joined my Halo 3 team and asked me if I wanted to play. I hooked up the mic and me and my g/f talked to him for a bit. Then I decided to go to the gym for a bit, so I started some music streaming and my g/f played some Arcade games I had downloaded. When I got back, we started a Marketplace movie downloading. While that downloading, I watched an episode of Dexter I had on my computer. When I turned off the Xbox that night, I left it recharging my iPod and the controller through USB.

It can’t be at the point where this is all possible, is it?! All this was possible with a stock Xbox 360 and my Mac with Connect360 running. I’m very impressed with Microsoft right now :D

    I had the same experience last night and it was amazing. I plan to use Messenger on my Xbox 360 a lot more now that I have the chat pad. I wish movie rentals were a bit cheaper… the only thing missing is a browser.
