The New Xbox Live Experience

[jdlynch1]

Themes are less than 3mb on average.. gamerpics even less (1-100k), tv shows can be redownloaded if need be..

So, I don't get that argument.

Most people filled theirs with demos. Of course, a lot of people tend to forget about these and buy the full game later which is just wasted space.

And besides, they can always get the demos from Xbox Magazine if they choose.

There's really no reason to complain I'd say. If you're installing a game, finish a game if you're on a 20gb, or just don't go install crazy.

That's what I am saying, there is no reason to be mad if you have a 20gb hard drive and can't download the game. Also I know that the themes and gamerpics are small in space thats why I included the "etc." and "usesless" part. I wasn't trying to argue I was just stating what seems to be the reason for peoples anger, too little space. t:

I have 60GB with my 360 Pro, and I'm wondering if it is enough or will I be forced to change it to 120GB in the future. I will try to be careful not to install too many games on it, however.

Yea as long as you dont go DL heavy and DL every game you have even if you rarely play it, i think youll be fine.

 

[Addendum]

Exactly. Be mindful of the space you have available and once you beat a game take it off. Same for the Live Arcade games. Just don't remove the saved games.

I was wondering, is there supposed to be a cool little graphic on the 1st 'My Xbox' blade when you have a game in the system??? Iv noticed it with games like Call of Duty 4 and Left 4 Dead, but all i see is an image of a disk when i put Far Cry 2 into the system.

Some of the movies that didn't work with Netflix are working now! I had like 6 movies that said they weren't available, today it's down to 2. t:

I think it depends on whether you've downloaded it to the hard drive.

Are you saying that you have to d/l to the hard drive in order to get that image? Cause that's not true at all.

That image has to be put onto the disc, I guess the people behind Far Cry 2 just forgot to include it.

I've played GTAIV, Fable 2, and Banjo Kazooie since the update, all have images.

Kramer vs. Kramer
...And Justice for All
A League of Their Own
Last Action Hero
and
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Were all movies on my Netflix Queue that didn't work yesterday but work today. The only 2 movies that still don't work for me are

Perfect Strangers
and
30 Days of Night

Maybe it has something to do with how old the movie is, which is why the 2 newest ones are taking longer to fix. At any rate, the problem is being worked on, which is great.

Yea i deff know its not the dling to the hdd as i just played L4D, which is not installed and it had the image.

Yea im guessing thats it, i find it odd tho, i mean games like NCAA 09 has the image, yet Far Cry 2 doesnt. Guess like Geo says its something the dev's had to do.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

stupid question, but if i download the games onto the hd do i still need to use the disk?

You need to have the disc in the drive, so it can verify that you own it.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Fable 2 is going to be the first game I am installing onto my HD. It's definitely the game that I notice the disc sounds the most. I am 40% through my install.

According to Kotaku, most of Sony owned movies are appearing for instant streaming on the 360, but i think most of you guys had already started figuring that out.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Yup, most not all. This fix came quick, I'm sure the rest will be fixed just as quick.

No problem, I've seen it mentioned on other forums as well

Just wanted to post some potentially helpful suggestions.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Just out of curiousity does anyone know if it is possible to record the streaming videos onto a DVD while watching?

Not legally, that's for sure.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm sure there's a way to do it...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I just downloaded this.

I don't like the new dashboard at all. The blades were much better. The avatars are alright but nothing special. Is it possible to downgrade?

EDIT: Checked Game FAQs and saw it's required. They better let you use the old dashboard format in the future. I can't stand this new one.

Eh, i doubt theyll add any kind of retro feature, but who knows. This new dashboard works fine tho, ur better of just getting used to it.

Why can't you "stand" it? It works perfectly fine. They will never be going back, this is their new direction. Use the guide button if you really can't handle the change.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

There's too much to go through. I also hate how in the game's DLC, the games are displayed at an angle going back. It's just annoying and unnecessary.
