Get the media edition, it runs all normall xp apps and comes with extra like Media Center which lets you watch dvd's, tv etc and other apps like Windows Audio Converter and Windows Dancer, ive only got Media Edition as it was a free upgrade with my pc when i bought it, Its also has support for a tuner but sadly as my pc was upgrade it didnt include one, but if your paying extra for it you should only get it if you have an xbox 360 you can hook it up, but not to sure about that, need any more info just ask
