Yup.

Only thing is I can't seem to connect to a non-Media Center PC through WMP. FUCK.

[D Mac]

I like the Original Xbox games download idea.

[RoXer]

Just press X under music to change location. Works swimmingly for me.

[Xero]

Yeah, figured that out. Was really pissed thinking they locked it into MCE/Vista..

[Kane Knight]

What were the changes? I tried looking at the link from MAjor Nelson's, but it wouldn't load the Microsoft page. I saw the changes to LM...

[Fignuts]

Besides LM, they combined messages and friends into one option. And you can now see your friend's friends, and add them i you want. Why you would want to add total strangers I dunno, but whatever.

[Extreme Angle]

Write a bio about yourself... I've downloaded fable because I never had the chance to play it, god its fun

[Xero]

The downloadable XBox games are pretty much a waste since you can still get them, box and all, for a fraction of the price used, and in some cases new.

[Disturbed316]

Also, no achievements [/whore]

The new lay out is taking abit of getting used to, but I like it.

The downloadable XBox games are pretty much a waste since you can still get them, box and all, for a fraction of the price used, and in some cases new.

And there are known glitches they never fixed. And new ones for emulating it virtually. I mean, these are uncompressed, too. This is such a bad idea.

[Fignuts]

I know pre-played games at blockbuster and gamestop are hurting game companies. Its been an issue for a long time. This might just be their attempt to try to alleviate that problem a bit.

[Kane Knight]

Then they should probably put some effort into it. Who wants a shitty, glitched out version for ten bucks when you can get a slightly less shitty and glitched out version for 5 bucks, and not waste 2-5 gigs of your HDD?

Morons.

So 95% of the XBL community.

Morons.

Thats the next point I was going to make. Microsoft isn't stupid. They know SOME people like us won't fall for it, but like xero said. 95% of the live members will be all "OMFGS HALO S AND THE FABLE ON MY DASHBOARD!PWNAGEISM!"

[D Mac]

Hey it's for us lazy people. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

They may not be stupid, but Microsoft is not above bad business decisions.

[Xero]

My guess is that it's Microsoft testing the waters on an eventual system based entirely on downloaded games. Or the next inevitable step in the process.

[Kalyx triaD]

The XB Guide Blade comes on screen and off much faster than before.

[Fignuts]

I wouldn't call this a bad business decision. Taking advantage of stupid people in large groups, always leads to more cash flow.

[Kane Knight]

[Kane Knight]

The point wasn't to say it was a bad business decision, but simply to point out the glaring mistakes they have made in the past. You know, like every business ever. The "They're not stupid" argument doesn't mean this will be a success. Even on GameFAQs, the response to this appears to be lackluster. And they are stupid little fanboys 98% of the time.

[D Mac]

I'm thinking of getting Halo. :shifty:

[Fignuts]

Original halo isn't worth the HD space, or 15 bucks, let alone both.

[Xero]

Neither are the other two.

[Kane Knight]

Original halo isn't worth the HD space, or 15 bucks, let alone both.

LOL. I saw one the GameFAQs boards that someone suggested buying both.

[Extreme Angle]

I buy points, my matebuys points, he recovers my account and downloads a game, its then on his xbox so hecan play it, i recover my account back and download the same game, we both get it.
I did this with my mate and got fable for free, he just needs a favour now.
Probably gonna repay him with the heroic halo pack

[Fignuts]

wtf, the dashboard is now needlessly more complicated. Terrible.

If your HD goes screwy though, anything your mate bought will not work again as it's not the original paid download.

[Extreme Angle]

yeah but i buy what my mate wants on his account so... I'm not to bothered anyway tbh, mass effect > fable
