Where to get MS Points the cheapest? Prolly somewhere in Asia, ain't it? I'll definitely buy some more Marketplace stuff if I get it cheap.
Also this update makes me wanting a bigger hard drive. :( Edit: Are Live gold membership cards global? So could I buy some in Japan and use them for my account?

Copy non-protected files (pictures, music, videos) from USB storage devices, CDs and computers to proprietary storage devices
this is nice, can finaly just copy those mp3 files :) also like the hd install, hopefully less spin on the dvd drive ;) @Beano TRUE!

Don`t some games already install data to the hard drive to a degree? Halo 3 certainly seems to do this as first loads are very slow but subsequent loads are faster, unless I've been playing something else in the interim. I guess what is currently done is temporary caching whereas here they are talking about a permanent transfer.

best 3 there for me are
Option to disable invites from titles not on gamercard (excludes demos). Option to delete titles from gamercard with 0 gamerscore and 0 achievements Option to remove payment information from gamertag. as i get annoyed with people sending me invites for games i dont have. and also when i go on the market place and look in played games, i get fed up of scrolling through 30 trial games. |

Dr_Wadd: Yes, it's temporary caching. If you play too many different games your cache will keep getting overwritten.

Guess I'll pick up a chat pad then as the instant messanger stuff has gone from kinda works to fully integrated. Also RSS feeds and podcasts seem to stop the sytem being quite so insulated. The file sharing stuff looks pretty cool to, it means developers won't have to rely on their own servers ala Halo 3 and Forza. But the biggest thing I'm excited about is the 4 way voice/video chat. Sudden thought; now people can "donate" MS points and better video chats are we going to see teens selling their body for horse armour?
PS Is it me or does this mean Live matches the few features of Home that it didn't already have minus the Second Life clone. Me thinks MS are trying to shoot some foxes. |

I have only one thing to say to Microsoft.
For the love of God add support from PC monitor resolutions. It's been two years for ffs and I'm sick to death of having to stretch or squash the image on my lovely, quite pricey 1680 resoution monitor. In desperation with GTA IV, I switched to 720p via component and the quality was abysmal compared to VGA. Sort. It. Out. |

" fix it so you can still play arcade titles offline on a refurbished system and I'll be happy as larry. Every time my system takes a nose dive, my arcade titles are rendered useless as my Xbox isn't connected to the internet" "Option to automatically associate new DRM to items downloaded for free" Will this fix the DRM issue? You wont be paying with points or redeeming a code. So just delete the old one and redownload. Any ideas?
